If you recently ended a relationship, changed or lost a job, moved or went through any other significant life changes, you may find yourself having a hard time adjusting to the new situation. You may feel disoriented, anxious, or hopeless. I specialize in helping people with life transitions.

I am a licensed psychologist/psychoanalyst with over 20 years of practice in psychotherapy and body/mind approaches. If you experience trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship problems, I am dedicated to helping you. I'll work with you on becoming aware of unresolved issues that limit your choices and freedom in life by attending carefully to your narrative and experience. Emphasis is on an exploration of your issues, and on the therapeutic relationship. In addition, our group has a team of experts/clinicians who are trained in a variety of approaches and issues.

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.

Psychotherapy is about change and growth, an endeavor that takes commitment and courage. Change can be painful at times and often scares us, so we rather stay within the bounds of old but familiar patterns of going about our lives. To have someone you trust to guide you through the change process can make all the difference. A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings and thoughts about yourself and your relationships with others, which will bring about the change that removes the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life.

It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution. I’m a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss. Whatever you’re going through, I’ll be a compassionate listener who reframes the situation and so you can see it in a different, more positive, light.

Have you been wanting to make meaningful changes in your life but feel hesitant to start therapy? I know how courageous making this move is, and provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere as you explore your emotional life. I partner with you to identify your goals for personal growth. Together we create a safe space for you to clarify patterns of behavior and thinking that may be bogging you down. We can look at repeated sources of disappointment or dissatisfaction so that you can grow away from them and into a more vibrant relation to yourself, others, and the world.

I'm a couples therapist who specializes in supporting people navigate challenging conversations regarding sex/ intimacy. I've been a practicing therapist with over ten years of experience helping individuals and couples deal with the obstacles that daily life presents. Couple dynamics, and challenges with sex and intimacy can pose difficulties in partnerships making it a hardship to talk without feeling fear and judgment. As a therapist, I am a compassionate and judgment-free clinician, who will help you feel confident about your mental and sexual health.

We all have strengths that make us unique, and in my therapy practice I strive to help clients identify their skills to set realistic goals for themselves. I have been in practice since 2013 primarily in community mental health settings, and I have worked closely with adults, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with challenges that include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues and gender identity, grief and trauma, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors, emotion regulation, low self-esteem, poor concentration, poor body image, career transitions and life stage adjustment.

I use a psychodynamic approach which integrates spirituality and psychotherapy, helping people who struggle with depression, loneliness, sexual abuse, drug addiction. I help couples and families learn to communicate their needs and feelings effectively. I work with gay men and lesbians seeking to integrate their sexual identity, as well as those working to enhance their relationships. I work extensively with people suffering from chronic illnesses (e.g. AIDS) and those who care for them. I am a Member of AAMFT, ACPE, and EGPS and have certificates in Pastoral Psychotherapy, Marriage and Family Therapy and Group Psychotherapy.
