I am a seasoned psychotherapist with forty years of experience helping my clients to improve relationships with their families, partners and co-workers, to be effective in reaching their goals; and to alleviate depression. My style is warm, interactive, and positive, and...I've found that spontaneous humor can often be healing- e.g. full disclosure: my photo is 20 yrs. old!

Our positive and safe therapist/client relationship is an essential part of resolving your concerns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who has been treating adolescents, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years. I am trained in a wide variety of techniques that are designed to produce measurable and meaningful results. I also work with families and couples to help improve or repair relationships. My approach is positive, empathic, and solution-focused. Therapy results should not be a mystery - it should be clear that it works as you feel better, reach goals, and set new ones.

I'd like you to know that you can feel better, whether you're troubled by difficult feelings, thoughts, behaviors or situations. I work in a highly collaborative way, using empathy, education, humor, patience and lots of practice to help you reach your mental health and wellness goals. I'll introduce you to CBT, mindfulness, and acceptance based skills to build your resilience, confidence, and ability to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, and to promote healthy relationships. I work with adults from college age and on. .

For over thirty years, I have been helping couples develop stronger and more intimate relationships. If it feels like walls have developed that are keeping you from being able to talk to your partner or to fully enjoy your relationship, then couples therapy can help. Together, we will come to understand what is getting in the way of connection and develop strategies and solutions for changing how you and your partner communicate. Conflicts in a relationship are natural yet they can create distance if not handled skillfully. Therapy will help you to learn ways of managing conflict that create closeness.

With a direct, authentic, and light-hearted approach, I form genuine connections with my clients, and work collaboratively to establish and achieve their goals. Through developing increased self-awareness and enhancing coping skills, my clients are better able to manage their symptoms. This process ultimately leads to improved daily functioning and overall life satisfaction.
