We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.
I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of consultation, assessment, and psychotherapy experience. My approach in therapy is broadly psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, although I use evidence-based interventions as warranted.

I often use a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach. Many people are able to develop insight into their "automatic" relationship styles over time. This helps them to understand what adjustments they want to make and how they can start to interact with other people in a more authentic way.
