When we find ourselves struggling with the kind of emotional pain that our usual strategies and supports can't relieve, good therapy is a lifeline. Like massage for physical injuries, psychotherapy effectively relieves chronic emotional pain, clears out unwanted emotional scar tissue, and creates flexibility, strength and new possibilities for positive motion in our lives. Whether you are worried about your own mental health, or the distress of someone you love, or are simply curious about how therapy might help, call/email me to schedule an initial conversation to talk about what kind of treatment is best for you.
Having served on the faculty and administration of several top notch graduate degree programs in psychology over the last 15 years, including the Wright Institute, I have extensive training and experience in using a strengths-based, attachment-oriented, family systems approach to create positive change for Individuals, Couples, Families with Adult Children.
You deserve a therapist who is relentlessly compassionate, non-judgmental and accepting. But when struggling, we also deserve a therapist who will lovingly support us in creating real, noticeable, longed-for positive change in relationship to the important people in your life. I offer weekly and also intensive couple/family therapy online.

You deserve a compassionate, non-judgmental therapist who accepts you where you are, no matter how stuck you may feel. At the same time, when we are struggling, we also need active support in creating real positive change outside of session. I have a warm, active style and will support you both emotionally and constructively towards the positive life changes I know are possible for all clients.
