OFFERING VIRTUAL THERAPY. Do you feel inadequate when you are not in a relationship ? Have you found yourself chasing after people who have rejected you and try desperately to change their minds. More than once, have you gotten involved with someone who is unable to commit—hoping they will change? Do you tend to take care of the needs of others before you take care of your own needs? You are not alone, and I can help you. I work with individuals, adults and couples experiencing complex life challenges.

I currently only offer online and in-home therapy. When we are in the midst of crisis we can question our abilities to overcome. Like quicksand, these self-defeating thoughts pull us even deeper into despair and we may become seduced by seclusion. Instead, I believe we should strive to accept our struggles as the catalysts that can bring us into closer connection with others and thus be more empowered to overcome. My practice of therapy involves helping people realize that to struggle is not unique and that connections with others during those times can be the difference between surrendering to weakness and reclaiming your strength.

Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power.
