Besides having my own practice working with adult individuals & couples, I've been employed by a university psychological service where I developed knowledge working with young adults.
I know it's difficult to select a psychologist, someone to share your most intimate problems with, just from a list of names. Many of my clients have told me how at ease they are in my presence. I've been helping people like you for 40+ years. During this time, I've developed many approaches to fit the particular needs of each client. Originally trained in psychodynamic therapy, my therapeutic approach is now eclectic including a humanistic application of cognitive behavioral therapy. I also have expertise in body psychotherapy (Bioenergetics Analysis) which is especially helpful in stress & trauma related problems.

The most important thing a client should know when working with me is to be open and honest. Starting therapy can be difficult and at times uncomfortable but know that I am here to help, support, and be there for them through these tough times and difficult conversations. The approach and process for me when working with clients is to meet them where they are at. After that the next most important step is to build trust and rapport to start an honest and open relationship between my clients and I.

I believe that the relationship and trust built in therapy are the most important and necessary agents for meaningful, lasting change, and that compassionate care is essential to your feeling validated and empowered throughout the process. Without these connections, even the most qualified and well-intentioned therapist may fail in attempting to help. As such, I devote much time and energy in my sessions towards developing and enhancing therapeutic relationships, making sure to always listen carefully and empathically, so as to fully understand the sensitive issues discussed from your perspective and at your pace.

Another of my specialties is working with couples.
The two populations I work the most with are moms trying to find the balance in their lives, and the LGBTQ+ population. I am a single mom of a young child with disabilities, and love working with other moms and talking through the challenges that moms face. As a member of and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the unique struggles that members of the community face regarding coming out, family complications, self-acceptance, and other issues. I help my clients to navigate these issues, and to live their best life possible.

My training, my experience, and my teaching and supervising have helped me to appreciate and apprehend the many and complex ways in which early experience becomes internalized and structured in one's internal world, and consequently becomes manifested and repeated in the external world of one's life and relationships. It is my goal to provide psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy of sufficient depth, duration and thoughtfulness to facilitate the mastery of emotional problems, the restoration and enhancement of self-esteem, and the fostering of emotional resilience, creativity and self-discovery.

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here! Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies, and many of us have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually.  I believe that everyone is a sexual being, and that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives.  I enjoy working with folks on issues of desire, desire differences in relationships, healing from sexual trauma, sexual behavior that feels out of control, sexual self-esteem and body image, sexual function concerns, kinky and poly experiences, gender-related concerns and more.

I work with individuals, couples and families. It doesn't matter how many people are sitting in the office, I view each individual within the context of the systems they live in each day. We are all part of many systems, marital, family, school, community, work. The relationships and importance each of these systems place on individuals can sometimes can lead to breakdowns in communication and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Treating the dysfunction in the relationship often restores the feeling of wholeness in an individual and of course leads to stronger deeper relationships between individuals.

Life can be overwhelming. There can be struggles; relationship issues, life transitions, the trauma of an accident or abuse. Sometimes talking with friends or family doesn't help. Talking with someone who can listen carefully, who is empathic and offers confidentiality can help. I believe it is this therapeutic relationship, based on a foundation of trust and respect that provides a safe place to take the risks that are necessary for change. I can help you recognize your internal strengths and positive qualities which will encourage you to see more possibilites for yourself.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
