Seeking help takes courage. I create a safe, empathic space where, working together, we will uncover and unwind the self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior that are causing you pain. I use a holistic approach, bringing in mindfulness techniques, behavioral interventions, and DBT when needed, to help provide you with insight into unseen obstacles and the practical tools and skills to promote more productive behaviors. Together, we can come to understand and free you from old perceptions of your self that are holding you back so that real transformation can begin and you can live life more fully.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

Hello, I am a therapist with 10 years of experience in helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, wellness techniques, and solution-focused therapy, to tailor my treatment to each client's unique needs and preferences. I work with clients who are seeking to improve their mental health, cope with stress, manage emotions, enhance relationships, and increase their well-being and happiness. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow and change.

Group Therapy - My Groups help individuals overcome the following issues: 1. Low Self Esteem and Insecurities. 2. Stuckness in Work and Career. 3. Excessive and Unproductive Anger . I help couples with 1. Seemingly Unresolvable Relationship Conflict. 2. Infidelity. 3. Moving Toward Separation and Divorce.

Maintaining a strong and trusting bond between client and therapist forms the cornerstone of effective therapy. In my practice, I strive to create a secure and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable discussing matters that might be challenging to address elsewhere. My expertise lies in assisting individuals grappling with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and concerns about alcohol and substance use. Although my therapeutic approach is tailored to your individual goals, my training is rooted in Relational/Psycho-dynamic, Dialectical Cognitive Behavioral, and Motivational Enhancement Therapies.

Couples, whether married or dating, have issues and problems that arise when communication breaks down. This break down in communication leads to misunderstandings which result in anger, hurt, anxiety, depression, guilt, and feelings of hopelessness. We evaluate each person independently with a high level of professional expertise. For couples, there are times when separate therapy for one of the partners is necessary while marriage counseling continues concurrently. Individual psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is recommended when one of the partners is depressed or anxious and is struggling with their own personal problems.

The decision to enter therapy is often a courageous one. Whether you have been in therapy before, or this is your first experience delving into the psychotherapy process, I welcome you. Our work together will be a supportive journey to discover and heal that which ails you - your struggles, relationships, your wounds, trauma, a psychological disorder, or whatever it may be that is causing you disharmony in your life. As a naturally intuitive, compassionate, tender and deeply empathic therapist, I create an environment for my clients that allows them to move at their own pace.

I am a psychotherapist passionate about working with you to reach your true potential. I will help you to identify and change the thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns that are keeping you from feeling happy, productive and confident.

I am also very grounded, direct and down to earth and will provide feedback and sometimes direct suggestions.

Hello and Welcome. I understand the journey it may have taken to get here and I'm glad you made it!

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act because it is a process where you can grow and evolve. I like to think of therapy as a collaborative healing experience where we can work together to help improve the aspects of your life that are troublesome. I'll help you discover your untapped strengths and potential in the process. My hope is that you can feel empowered, increase your confidence, and develop a better understanding of yourself. The ultimate goal of working with me is not to be stuck in therapy, but to be able to live your life more fully!

Therapy begins within a trusted, emotional connection where your unique story can truly be heard. I'm dedicated to helping you sort out your feelings and circumstances, to examine difficult relationships. I will teach you effective coping skills, strategies to better handle stress and distress.

I utilize a nuanced, crafted combination of evidenced-based therapies: Mindfulness, Supportive, Relational, Psychodynamic, Motivational, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Modern Analytic and Family Treatments.

Are you living the life you want? Stuck or unsatisfied in your relationships? Tired and depleted? Maybe you have friends, but find yourself wondering who you would really call in the middle of the night. Or your romantic relationship feels stuck, like you are repeating the same pattern over and over. We all know that deeper connection and intimacy are necessary for a more satisfying life, yet we feel that we are not getting what we need or want. Or maybe your pain is related to your job. You are working hard but not getting the recognition you crave. For many of us, we feel depleted or anxious and don't fully understand why.

You’re ready for better things. Among them, more meaningful relationships where you can be seen for who you truly are, in all your beautiful dimensions, contradictions, and complexity. You haven’t yet had the opportunity, or felt safe enough, to take the lead in your life and often feel compelled to go with the flow, center others, and care for them instead of yourself. Working with me is an opportunity to discover who you really are instead of just playing the part that others’ cast you in.

Contacting a therapist can feel awkward and scary. Be assured that your life will improve as a result of therapy. We can work at a pace you feel comfortable with. We all want freedom from our emotional pain. Worries or anxiety, anger or depression, insomnia, relationship conflict or traumatic memories may lead to escape & dependence upon food, substances, experiences and relationships for relief. Escape never leads to peace. Thankfully, we all can learn to find a dependable source of peace in our minds and hearts, no matter the external circumstances. I can help you get there. I have been a therapist for over 25 years.

When we are wrestling with anxiety or depression, all we think of is getting rid of the pain. But actually, the focus must be on making you emotionally healthy, i.e., enabling you to become a happy and fulfilled individual. In my 40 years of working with people, all emotional ill-ease dissipates with a robust sense of confidence and resulting good mood. Think of those moments when you have felt entirely confident and happy. Did you experience any emotional discomfort? Of course not. For those moments, you felt wonderful. It is psychotherapies’ goal/mission to give you the tools to elevate your mood every single day of your life.
