Whether it's about your career, housing, relationships, empty nest, getting older or helping someone you love as they age, change is inevitable. The trick is how you deal with it. No matter if you welcome change or are challenged by it, it's still stressful. And I'm here to help you address the feelings that life changes bring up and learn the tools you need to transform a stressful change into an opportunity for growth."

"I have found that most people seek help for one of two reasons: they either have had something happen to them, or they cannot figure out why they are not happy. In my experience, loss, the hardest part of life, is often the basis for our problems. Loss does not have to be recent, and it doesn't have to a death. Loss enters our lives in many ways; a dream of a happy family, a break up with a partner, loss of joy...Let's try to re-gain your joy!"

"I provide professional, caring psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy with a focus on understanding an individual's experiences, values, beliefs and how these are connected to present day behaviors, relationships, and ongoing life experiences.

I regard each of my clients with a genuine interest and respect.

I provide you with the tools to create a better, stronger and a more fun marriage! I am solution focuses and goal driven, giving you the results you need now not over years of therapy.

"My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. I like to take a here-and-now approach during therapy and I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help unlock and uncover unresolved issues from your past. I strongly believe in the concept of subjective reality. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and have a special interest in working with adolescent females, and individuals and couples in areas of sexual intimacy."

"Everyone might benefit with help to sort through life challenges.

Stress, grief, anxiety, and depression happen. Patterns of thoughts or behavior can prevent a fuller life. Does anxiety or depression wall you in and make it difficult to find a way out? Do you need coping strategies? My skills can help you navigate these obstacles to find a more fulfilling life. I see adults, couples, and families to help sort through life stresses."

"Life sometimes throws us a curve ball. Daily life struggles and stress that we have normally handled with relative ease can suddenly seem overwhelming. Too much stress and the inability to handle it properly can begin to undermine our potential to enjoy our work and to care for ourselves and others. Finances, parenting, relationships, school, care taking, health concerns, and loss can be stressful aspects of life. When we begin to internalize these external stressors it can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, poor health, phsysical/emotional exhaustion and relationship problems."
