About
Struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use or other self-defeating behaviors? Challenged by work, relationship or family issues? Concerned about your own or your teen's mood, judgment, behavior? Executive or founder stress? General overwhelm?
Therapy provides a safe space for processing thoughts and feelings, and for exploring different ways of being. Whatever your concerns, we'll work together to help you feel better. My style is warm and collaborative, with a sense of humor. Our work can develop your strengths & self-confidence & help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, leading to a greater sense of vitality and peace of mind.
I enjoy working with gifted adolescents (and adults), couples, students, recent grads, entrepreneurs, attorneys, academics, tech workers and with men interested in developing their emotional intelligence and improving their relationships. Physicians and attorneys have high rates of psychological distress. Therapy can make your work in these demanding professions more sustainable and rewarding.
Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a lawyer. I've also worked as an educator, and I am an experienced mediator. Some clients find that my familiarity with career transitions and the worlds of business, law, and education enhances our work. LGBT friendly. Substance abuse expertise. Executives; founders; entrepreneurs; attorneys..
