WHY Does this keep happening in my relationships? If you’ve asked yourself that—whether you’re dating, successful on paper but unfulfilled in love, or in a relationship that no longer feels close—you’re not alone.
As a psychologist with 20 years of experience specializing in dating, relationships, attachment, and couples, I work with high-achieving men and women who are accomplished in many areas of life yet find themselves repeating painful relational patterns—emotionally unavailable partners, over-functioning in relationships, communication breakdowns, loss of intimacy, or feeling disconnected from someone they deeply love.

Do you feel stuck in old patterns such as people pleasing, shutting down, feeling like you are too much, or feeling nothing at all, and you are not sure why? Maybe you have worked hard to move forward, yet something keeps pulling you back into the same pain points, the same dynamics, and the same emotional loops. You might not call it trauma, but something in you knows there is a deeper story. I specialize in trauma rooted in childhood and long term relational experiences that quietly shape how you show up in your life and relationships.

You’ve gotten good at holding it together. From the outside things look fine, but underneath there’s a tiredness that rest doesn’t touch. Maybe it’s the same argument with your partner on a loop, people-pleasing you can’t put down, or grief you’ve never had room to face. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you reach out. That’s what this space is for. Together we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s underneath, and help you build steadier days and clearer conversations.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, irritability, or a constant sense of not being enough. These patterns often lead to disconnection from others and yourself. You might want relief, clarity, or to finally feel like yourself again. I help by exploring the core beliefs keeping you stuck and reprocessing the painful experiences behind them. Along the way, we’ll build emotional resilience, strengthen skills like distress tolerance and mindfulness, and reconnect with a more grounded, authentic version of yourself that's aligned with your values, not just survival.

You cannot recover from anxiety by just remaining calm, or depression by just being positive. Recovery from the battles of life takes time, patience, and releasing old habits. Whether you’re facing mental illness, parenting, relationships, or life transitions; change must occur in order for peace to resurface. It's okay to feel unstable, it's ok for things to not be ok, and it's okay to ask for help.

You know you're capable of more depth & freedom, yet something holds you back. You're tense even though you have safety in your life. Relationships feel fragile, and that critical inner voice won't quiet down. You find it hard to truly relax, especially around others. You know this stuckness isn't permanent, but you feel a constant sense of unease. You know oppression isn't just 'out there'; it's made a home in your body - in that voice that says ‘I'm not enough'. You're ready to move beyond survival mode - to feel present in your life, to cultivate relationships that nourish you, and to take action aligned with who you truly are.

I have practiced counseling for over 50 years, specializing in ADD, Love addiction, Hypnotherapy, Relationships, Dysfunctional Families, Codependency, and Trauma Issues.
I view problems from a systems approach and believe that most problems are interactional in nature. I also believe that most emotional problems have their origins in faulty patterns that are learned early in our life by our major caretakers.
