Are you struggling in your relationships or in other areas of your life? Are you depressed or anxious and don't understand why? In therapy we can focus on getting relief from your symptoms while exploring the underlying causes ultimately leading to meaningful changes. Behavior patterns formed in the past do not need to dictate the quality of your life in the present. Identifying these patterns in a highly interactive therapeutic relationship can lead you to a path of improved relationships and enhanced wellbeing.

When you are feeling depressed or anxious, you have a real reason to want to be heard. You communicate through words and body language. A child communicates through play and art. Whichever way you communicate, I am dedicated to hear what you have to say and gain a real understanding of what is going on. Together, we can explore your uniqueness and find strength in that. Whether it is a family issue or a personal one, taking care of yourself is a priority. I believe that the basic foundation of therapy is a good relationship between therapist and client.

During my clinical training at the Maple Counseling Center, I counseled individuals, older adults, adolescents and couples and co-facilitated process groups of adults. In my private practice, I'm seeing the same populations. One area of focus is baby boomers contemplating retirement, transitioning into retirement and/or second careers. This population is often managing the needs of an elderly parent(s) and simultaneously adult children. These challenges converge with our own issues of aging, such as mid-life crisis's and changes in our health and viability. I'm currently counseling more couples.

The motivation to seek counseling can come at many different times and stages in one's life - Whether it be to explore a deeper understanding of oneself, discovering ways to resolve relationship conflicts, or striving for stability or even change. In my clinical practice I work to understand what may be currently interfering with someone experiencing a more satisfying life - with a goal of helping clients become curious about their own experiences, reactions and insights.

My essential approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral and Transformative Psychology. I observe thought patterns, narratives and the emotional reactions that originate ,become conditioned in childhood, and hard-wired in adulthood, creating depression, anxiety, and attachment disorders. My opinion is that conceptual information are minimally effective, because they do not create the necessary experiential shift required for long-term breakthroughs in reducing negative self-perception. Neurons that fire together will fire together , creating healthy neural wiring, that will create confidence, and self-advocacy, and vitality.

I've been a clinical psychologist for over 40 years. I have treated a broad range of clients during this time utilizing humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. My focus in therapy is with adults who struggle with a variety of personal issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem and relationships. I am quite interested in the concerns that younger adults confront as well as those that individuals face as they transition into their mid-life years including aging, retirement, sexuality, illness, and loss. I believe that I can help clients gain greater clarity as they work to resolve these issues in an atmosphere of support and warmth.

Usually, one pursues therapy when feeling sad, worried, or faced with problematic situations. You may find it difficult to remove these feelings, partaking in unhealthy behaviors, investing in unsatisfying relationships, and/or repeating patterns of behavior that you do not find fulfilling.

I believe you've arrived here for a reason, and we're about to find out why. Together, we can explore the issues that are sacred to you and hopefully release you to a better emotional place. The basis of living strong is having a consciousness of purpose and meaning. I'm here to support this process of discovering heightened meaning within you. I have walked alongside folks facing deeply painful human challenges: grief over loss of all kinds, life transitions, aging, caregiver stress, single motherhood, overcoming depression and anxiety and trauma. I look forward to working with you to make your life better.

I specialize in stressed-out executives who pay the price of success as well as accomplished gay men who feel like an imposter. As someone who has been through and overcame a fair amount in life, I have a great deal of empathy as well as a nifty toolbox for those who are ready to get off the merry-go-round. You may feel like you're never enough and wrestling with constant negative thoughts that hold you, hostage. I am ready to roll up my sleeves if you are and help you sort it all out. I love working with clients who are ready, able, open-minded, and introspective — they’re the ones who often see the most progress from our work.

Please be aware that sessions begin at the top of the hour, irrespective of time booked (i.e. an appointment booked for 2:15 or 2:30 will still begin at 2:00). Psychotherapy is an endeavor that can feel uncomfortable at times, but together we can work to troubleshoot your "hang-ups" and insecurities to smooth out your path ahead. I want to work with you on your gravitational pull towards relationships that end up causing you pain; on your grief and anxiety over feeling like you've dug yourself into an insurmountable hole; on your feelings of frustration with life and self-sabotage. Bring it to me and let's talk about it.

I want to help people discover, think about, give meaning to, and find compassion for, alienated parts of themselves that are repressed and forbidden, containing unmet needs, historic conflicts, and unfulfilled dreams. Reunion with these parts can help people better understand their current behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and develop options for changing old patterns in their relationships with themselves, partners, and work that were once effective defenses against psychological pain. Therapy helps us become more fully alive, creative, connected to others, and free to be ourselves with less, and perhaps more realistic, fear-- individually, in our families, cultures, and society.

I believe we all have the capacity to foster change and improve our lives. But before we can do that we need to know who we are.
Who are you really?
Which parts of yourself are markers from your past? Which are new?
What is working for you and what is working against you?
As a compassionate therapist, I work collaboratively to help you discover your authentic self and live to your full potential.
