Psychotherapy lets people be their most 'authentic' selves and live at their highest potential; it also helps them understand barriers to optimal living. Expecting that you have all the answers is not realistic, and entering therapy is a helpful step to deepening understanding, resolving problematic relational patterns and simply making changes. Also,Therapy need not be a 'lifelong process'. I have a proven track record working with people achieving results. My treatment approach combines a Relational psychodynamic frame with goal-focused techniques. I tend to work very interactively with clients relationally, while also allowing abundant space for clients their own insights and self-reflection.

Couples come to see me when they are caught in an escalating, upsetting pattern which they need help to get out of. They need better connection, communication, and cooperation with each other. Individuals come to see me with emotional pain and self defeating patterns of thinking and behaving. Working together as a therapeutic team I am able to help create a safe space in which recognition, understanding and validation and changes in outlook, attitude and behavior are learned and applied to create satisfying interpersonal and internal connections

My guiding therapeutic belief is that each person is unconditionally valid and worthy of positive regard, no matter what you may be going through. I cultivate an environment where you can show up fully, exactly as you are. From that solid foundation, we can work on untangling distressing symptoms, entrenched patterns, or negative beliefs that may no longer be serving you. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, gender and sexual identity, trauma history, disordered eating, ADHD, and relationship issues.

Helping people heal and find their path towards a meaningful life with fulfilling relationships is my calling. In our collaboration, I will honor your strengths, and together we will use them as a tool to find and overcome the impasses that keep you from moving forward. Together we will navigate through your experiences and relationships, heal emotional wounds, and rediscover your authentic self. From that place, it is possible to create the life and connections that you seek, and identify your vision for the future.

Perhaps you are at a crossroads in your life; or, feeling stuck in some way and want to reflect on what brought you here and where this stage may lead. If this describes how you feel, you are taking a courageous step in seeking a therapist and I support you in this courage. I am ready to listen, explore your needs and whether or not you may want to make changes. I will work with you to set goals for yourself and in making desired changes. I have years of experience successfully working as a relational psychotherapist and alcohol/drug counselor.

I work with a diverse range of individuals, families and partners. I hold a certification in family and couples counseling. My approach includes reprocessing traumatic events & triggers, building an attuned and confident sense of self, improving communication and managing a life that will bring forth a purposeful future.

Life can often be challenging, overwhelming, and confusing. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space to process and resolve past difficulties, current stressors, and anxieties about the future. I aim to empower individuals and couples to be their authentic selves, to pursue the lives they want, and to embrace vulnerability in their relationships. Together, we will work to help you achieve your goals and feel more at peace with yourself.

Crisis may be unwelcome but often brings important self-knowledge. I am a certified Jungian analyst with many years’ experience in addressing a wide variety of issues, including trauma, anxiety and depression; divorce and relationship issues; mental illness in the family, and grief. If you find yourself repeating unsatisfying patterns with others, if you’re wondering why the same kinds of disappointments come up time and time again, I will work with you to take a step back and get the bigger picture.

My first goal in working with individuals and couples is to provide a non-judgmental, accepting and affirming space. Through our unique therapeutic alliance, you will develop awareness around the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that have perhaps made life feel unmanageable. We will develop strategies based on various modalities which have proven to be successful in bringing positive change. Together we will create a picture of what a meaningful life looks like for you and we will work together to manifest it into reality.

I am an experienced psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I will work with you as an individual, couple or family to improve the relationships in your life. I have a warm, easily approachable and interactive style in my work with clients. As teaching faculty and a member of the Developing Child and Family at the Ackerman Institute for the Family I specialize in working with parents, children and adolescents. I have had extensive training and experience in couples and family therapy.

Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

Are you someone who wants to discover a deeper meaning in your life but find yourself weighed down by old beliefs, defeating patterns of behavior, or feelings of anxiety and depression? Do you want to come to grips with what stops you from living to your fullest potential- in work, relationships, in your way of being in the world and with yourself? If this resonates with you, I'd be interested in working with you.

You are probably here because you find yourself feeling stuck, with no control over what you are going through, being unkind to yourself, unable to stop your mind from racing or going into the worst scenarios. Fighting this can be frustrating and exhausting. You don’t have to do it alone. Through our work together you will be able to have a better understanding of your own patterns of behavior, why they are there, how to catch yourself falling into them and how to break with them when you consider they are not being helpful anymore.

As a clinical psychologist with a background in athletics and fitness, I meet patients where they are, develop a strong working relationship, and identify strengths we can build off of all while maintaining cultural humility and awareness. Over the past nine years, I have found that this approach facilitates the reduction of emotional distress and improves self-esteem, decision making, and overall life satisfaction. My holistic approach can foster a more integrated, healthy, and powerful sense of self that is better equipped to handle life’s stresses during and after therapy.

As a therapist and yoga teacher, part of my approach involves integrating mindfulness, the mind-body connection, and movement into talk therapy. By bringing awareness to how your body experiences emotions, we can address stress, overwhelm, and anxiety you’re carrying and create space for more joy, compassion, and ease. We’ll also use other evidence-based strategies to recognize unhelpful patterns, explore the relationship between your past and present experiences, and identify goals to support the future self you want to create.

People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending school or work, moving to a new city, beginning or leaving a relationship. You might feel something isn't quite working in your life, like you're frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you feel yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Maybe you feel lost. I'll work with you to help you find what's getting in the way of getting what you really want from your life and to find a way forward that feels right to you.

Do you often have the sense you're not in charge of your own life? In overwhelm? I believe difficulties in living are a sign we've outgrown certain habits, behaviors or views. What may have helped us survive in the past doesn't help us flourish in the here and now. So, we find ourselves stuck - in a painful relationship, an unsatisfying job situation, or with unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. Our suffering may be a great awakener, calling us out of the sleep of unconsciousness, asking us what it is we really want. I provide a sensitive, warm spaciousness that invites your whole self to address that question.

In my practice, I provide a safe and inclusive space where you can critically examine your challenges, find strength, and embrace your true potential. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs. Therapy is meant to be a relationship where we can say the things we don’t normally say aloud and practice the habits we want to build and use in our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is the judgement-free zone in which you can learn and practice how to voice your needs, set boundaries, and own your power in your relationships.

I am committed to creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, supportive and is based on mutual respect. In sessions, my general style is to be interactive and direct, but I also emphasize very close listening. The goals of my interventions vary depending on your evolving struggles, needs and strengths. Together, we work to understand the multi-layered nature of the problem(s) and to find ways to improve your life and alleviate distress.
