You often feel like you're shouting into the wind, and no one is listening. What does it take to have your inner voice be heard and respected? It helps to get out of the echo chamber of our own heads and find someone to bounce ideas off of. This first step is truly the hardest, but it pays off quickly! Reaching out for help can be scary, and procrastination so easy to justify - but taking that first step, and resolving to change your life, starts paying off right away. When you're clear about what you're thinking and feeling - and why - it's much easier to know what to do next. Therapy can help you do that, and you won't feel alone.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and encouraging environment for my clients to grow. Through an open, client-centered approach I allow my patients to discover their own inner-strength. By seeking therapy, you demonstrate your willingness to step up to new challenges. For this reason, I see great strength in everyone who contacts me, and my goal is to have you see this for yourself. For 20+ years I have helped individuals, corporations, couples, and families find solutions to both personal and interpersonal conflicts.

There are many reasons to pursue therapy. Whatever brought you here, you've taken a first step toward changing your life for the better. I work with adults and couples struggling with relationships and intimacy, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I specialize in the treatment of addictions (including substances, technology and work) and eating disorders. Drawing from psychodynamic and CBT treatment modalities, I help the individuals I work with develop insight into the obstacles that stand in the way of leading joyful, fulfilling lives.

Navigating life’s difficulties can be challenging, especially during this time of physical and emotional isolation. I honor all as unique individuals and value your life experiences. Prior to counseling, my background was in music where I maintained a professional position in the arts for over 20 years. I can relate to the many challenges artists face on a deeper level and I understand the pain and frustration that comes with being creative and sensitive. I value the importance of cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship so we can collaborate in finding the tools within yourself to move towards positive growth and change.

I take a positive optimistic approach while partnering with my patients, providing individual, family & marriage counseling & motivational life coaching, in person, on the phone and on the internet. We'll discuss relationships (typically key to achieving most personal & professional desires), feeling depressed, professional choices, stress, self image, self confidence, pain management, counterproductive habits. I work with couples who want to work on aspects of their relationships, are considering marriage and those considering separation. We'll work together to figure out where you are, where you want to be & how you can get there. My strength is in connecting with people.

It takes courage to seek out therapy. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck in life, or are experiencing relationship issues- you want to build a more satisfying life, with hope for new possibilities. Therapy can help you not only to relieve suffering, but also to make lasting changes that will allow you to achieve your goals and grow into a more confident, open, and flexible person. I will support you as well as challenge you to confront parts of yourself and your past that may be difficult to look at.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone you may not know very well, YOURSELF." I've been practicing psychotherapy since 1982 integrating both psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral perspectives. The psychotherapy journey can ultimately lead to the enhancement of conflict-free thinking and behavior which in turn can contribute to a more satisfying life.

I am a warm, supportive and non-judgmental therapist. We will work together to come to new understandings about your feelings, relationships, and behavior patterns. I favor an empathic and supportive approach which integrates psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques in order to help clients not only reduce symptoms, but to also explore and understand the underlying issues. I believe in helping clients identify their strengths to enable them to overcome these issues. I collaborate with and provide referrals to nutritionists, psychiatrists, and physicians as needed.

Are you struggling with counterproductive patterns that get in the way of living your life to the fullest? Perhaps you have difficulties with relationships, either personal or work-related. Or you might be struggling with feelings, like anger, fear or sadness, that overtake you or that you cannot seem to master. You might be too hard on yourself or perfectionistic in a way that prevents you from experiencing peace. Or, you've had losses in your life and the grief has begun to feel oppressive. Perhaps you are looking to understand what is keeping you stuck in these patterns and to get help with moving beyond them.
