My website

In my 25+ years of practice, I have seen again and again how therapy can help people move from fear, disconnection, and stuckness to aliveness, greater self-acceptance, and an increased ability to engage in healthy relationships and take effective action in the world. Ideally, therapy is a place where people can bring their full selves, without shame or judgment. I feel honored to accompany people as they take risks, open up, and make changes during our work together.

My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, and self-esteem; developing healthier relationships; changing self-defeating behaviors; coming to terms with painful experiences; adjusting to transitions and losses; increasing vitality and sense of meaning in life; fighting back against shame and self-criticism; and social, political, and environmental concerns.

Please contact me or follow the link to my full website for more information. I offer prospective clients a complimentary, 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and how I can help. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have a special interest in social, political, and environmental concerns, including rising authoritarianism, living under conditions of domination and exploitation, and the climate emergency (often called eco-anxiety or eco-distress). I believe it is important to recognize the external realities that affect us and to be empowered to address these issues in accord with our authentic selves.

My approach is informed by ISTDP, a form of Experiential Dynamic Therapy or EDT. ISTDP is an active and focused psychodynamic therapy that emphasizes the importance of emotional experience. Research has shown that ISTDP is an effective treatment for many concerns. I have also been influenced by relational dynamic and Gestalt approaches to psychotherapy.
