"Life has an inevitable way of presenting us with different stressors and transitions such as relationship problems, becoming a parent, divorce and difficulties at work. We may experience feelings of disconnection, dissatisfaction, disappointment, grief, anxiety, depression and many others. How well we know ourselves can allow us to confront such challenges with less difficulty. Our personal well-being thrives in the context of a healthy relationship with self and others. Understanding why and how we react and feel in our our skin and in relationships with others are steps towards a healthy, grounded and more fulfilled place. "

"I have been a psychotherapist in Westport for the past 25 years seeing adults, couples, children and adolescents and families. In all cases, I think generally in terms of family dynamics. Welcoming and nonjudgemental fundamentally define my attitude. The adolescents I see often come with social or home complaints, or obsessed with online activities, eating disorders, or other self injurious behaviors. My work with them frequently focuses on identity issues, including explorations of relationship choices and career direction, gender and/or sexual orientation questions, and divorce or blended family dilemmas."
