Relationships are one of life’s greatest sources of meaning, but they also bring challenges that can leave even strong partners feeling stretched. Despite being kind, resourceful and intelligent, my clients find themselves struggling with communication, ongoing conflict, or balancing work and family. Choosing support is not only courageous, it’s wise. In a space that is safe and compassionate, healing and growth aren’t just possible—they’re within reach.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience in outpatient clinics, schools, private practice, and humanitarian organizations. My practice has been informed by clinical training and extensive academic background in developmental psychology.

Healing happens in relationships where we feel heard, seen, and cared for. I help people accept their vulnerability as a source of courage rather than weakness. Connecting to our innate wisdom through emotional exploration, reflection and introspection, we can navigate depression, anxiety and life transitions with strength and grace. You can expect honest and compassionate dialogue with a tone that's both grounded and encouraging. I balance compassionate curiosity with clear, direct communication, creating a space where you can explore without judgment.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are facing personal struggles or experiencing conflict in important relationships. I can help you identify the patterns in your life that are limiting you and guide you toward developing better coping skills to find healing in the difficult areas of your life. Through my extensive work with both children and families who have survived trauma and experienced chronic mental health challenges, I've learned effective strategies for supporting those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parent-child conflict, relationship issues, and the effects of living with a painful past.

Finding the right therapist from a website is difficult, which is why I offer phone or in-person consultations. It takes courage to address challenges such as relationships, personal problems, or general unhappiness. Your success in treatment will depend on your readiness to open up and my authentic presence that will help create a safe space for you. Together we will work on identifying, experiencing and expanding your capacity to tolerate all ranges of feelings. You will become more conscious of your limiting patterns while developing healthy ones as your sense of a genuine and stronger self emerges.

You overreact to small provocations, or you freeze when frustrated. Your emotions appear out of context. It is hard to explain or even understand why you acted the way you did when you were upset. Later, you think of better responses, and beat yourself up for continuously doing something you regret. I’ve worked with hundreds of adults over the past 15 years, and I have a professional approach that will make it easy for you to understand what is going on with you, and how it all makes sense within the context of your life experiences.

You can name what's not going well. You've traced your patterns and understand their origin. And still, a part of you is unmoved. We are shaped by our earliest relationships. However they went, you adapted. If you were missed or engulfed, you learned to keep yourself safe: bracing, protesting, going quiet, or learning not to need. It was intelligent then, and now, long after you've grown, a part of you still protects, stirring when something reminds your body of early pain. This protection shapes how you reach for people and how much you keep to yourself. Your body remembers, and is asking to be met.

Das Leben kann machmal einfach schwierig sein. Du füllst Dich überschwemmt, überfördert, ängstlich, traurig, oder ärgerlich. Du magst Dich nicht. Du kommst irgendwie nicht voran im Leben. Es gibt Verhaltensmüster in Deinen Beziehungen die immer wieder auftauchen, ohne dass Du es hinbekommst, sie zu verändern. Vergangene Erfahrungen kommen zwischen Dir und Deiner Fähigkeit, mit dem heutigen Leben klar zu kommen. Deine Überlebungsstrategien bringen eher Probleme als Erleichterung, aber Du weißt nicht, wie Du damit aufzuhören sollst.

I work with adults and adolescents seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and meaningful, lasting change. My practice is particularly focused on gay men, immigrants, medical professionals, and individuals coping with cancer or chronic medical conditions.

I provide supportive therapy services to clients struggling with all kinds of issues, and all different levels of functioning. Whether you have several issues you wish to process in just a few sessions with an objective ear, or you have just been released from higher psychiatric levels of care, I have space and availability for you. I am very flexible sometimes seeing clients online or in person, sometimes once per month or once per week. My ideal clients strongly desire to change their lives, explore parts of themselves, or use our time and space to build on the hard work they have already done.

I’m passionate about working with adult individuals and couples navigating relational challenges, emotional misalignment, and identity exploration. I believe the quality of our relationships often mirrors the relationship we have with ourselves—and that therapy can be a powerful space for cultivating self-awareness, healing, and deeper connection with others.

Entering therapy can be difficult and it is very important to find a therapist with whom you connect well. My goal in therapeutic relationship is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to honor vulnerability required to make changes in one's life. My approach is collaborative. I believe everyone has a unique story and inherent wisdom. I hope to be able to help uncover that and assist with teaching necessary skills to cope and to make changes needed to get desired results.

As a therapist one of my principal objectives is to help clients find relief and clarity so they feel empowered to make decisions to improve their lives. Breaking away from what no longer serves us, is possible. Change starts the moment we begin to look for answers.

Relationships are incredibly complicated, and relationship issues can have profound impact on your quality of life. Anxiety and depression may be the result of unhealthy relationship dynamics, or may be caused by typical stressors such as financial problems or disagreements about raising children. If you are having difficulties in your current relationship, or if you are trying to understand past relationship struggles, I am qualified to help you. I work with couples and individuals engaging in high conflict, affairs, issues of past trauma, parenting, depression, anxiety, substance addiction, divorce, or criminal concerns.
