I provide an opportunity for people to freely express their feelings and thoughts to achieve the changes they desire. I work interactively with clients so they may develop their strengths and achieve their goals. Assisting individuals in becoming at ease with their feelings, however difficult they may be, is an important aspect of the work I do. Feelings can become useful tools for living rather than disturbing impediments. The ubiquitous problems of uncomfortable feelings, harmful behaviors, and the challenges of relationships, careers and parenting are common areas of focus.

I am a psychologist with a diverse practice. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and families, and conduct a variety of psychotherapy groups. My style is informal, supportive and interactive. I have extensive experience working with issues related to addictive and compulsive behavior problems, relationship issues, identity issues, and many other areas of clinical concern. My first aim is to establish a mutually comfortable rapport to provide an atmosphere of openness and to make self exploration an experience that is satisfying and immediately helpful in both the short and long term.

I work with clients on whatever issues they are having. Common issues often include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and life transitions. I work with all age groups, from children through "senior citizens," and have training and experience working with diverse populations. I believe it is one of my strengths as a psychologist and a person that I welcome and appreciate each person for his/her uniqueness. This includes being sensitive and open to cultural, racial and sexual orientations different from my own, as well as having an appreciation for clients who come from backgrounds similar to mine.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe, non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

You feel hopeless, angst, dread, or freaked out. You feel anxiety and have trouble sleeping, headaches, stress, palpitations, and/or nightmares.

I am a Humanistic Client-Centered Clinical Psychologist, originally trained within the Psychoanalytic orientation. I also believe in theoretical eclecticism, therefore in addition to my Humanistic orientation, I offer Cognitive/Behavioral as well as Psychodynamic approaches.

I look forward to meeting you for an initial consultation.

I work in a collaborative relationship to help people change their lives to meet their needs. I assume that we are all much more human than otherwise, that we become human by being raised by people. I work with people to re-examine the history of their relationships and also their dreams.

Considering therapy? What keeps you from your goals? What gets in the way of satisfying relationships in your personal life and career? We will work together to make a safe space so we can find out what really needs to change. Then we look for solutions you can actually live out in your daily life, the life you want.

In life nothing happens that is not meant to happen. Sometimes what unfolds is in accordance with what we want, and reality feels good. Other times however, reality does not align with our expectations and this can be painful, difficult to accept, and even scary. Nevertheless, we can learn to be prepared and at peace with life's fluctuations. We can learn to develop a sense of congruency between reality and our desires. I work with clients to identify and change thought patterns robbing them of this ability and help them repair damages within themselves and in their relationships.

As a clinical therapist my best approach in the helping process is through empathy, active listening as well as a supportive environment. I believe that my enthusiasm, and commitment comes from my positive results of working with patients who were going through bereavement, children in crises, domestic violence and addiction of all types.

I see psychotherapy as a dialogue between two people that can yield great personal growth and transformation. I aim to promote a safe, supportive and trusting psychotherapeutic relationship that facilitates the exploration of areas of difficulty, hurt, and vulnerability. My patients typically gain the following from our work together: insights into their own unproductive behaviors, new perspectives, increased confidence and self acceptance. I work collaboratively with my patients. I ask probing questions and point out inconsistencies. I also provide feedback, advice, insights, observations and opinions.
