Our lives unfold their beauty, Like the petals of a flower, In challenges from circumstances, We find our finest hour. (C. Alexander Simkins). Generally it is in such circumstances that we find our way to a psychotherapist or a need for medication, not when life is smooth and comfortable.

We are surrounded by a story that unwanted feelings are pathological, an illness to be eradicated by taking medication, relentlessly policing thoughts, and consuming a never-ending supply of self-care products and services. Taken alone, that narrative can conceal deeper causes of distress by focusing solely on how well you adjust to and cope with their effects. Lasting relief requires a more holistic approach, one that accurately identifies and addresses the personal, social, and structural barriers that are keeping you stuck.

Personal challenges can be difficult but they can also present opportunities for growth and change. I want you to know that you don’t have to face it alone.

As a therapist, I feel strongly that adolescents, children and their parents, can overcome obstacles and increase life satisfaction not only as individuals but also as families. Many of the problems, both social and academic, that children and adolescents face today stem from difficulties managing emotions. This takes shape in a variety of ways; temper tantrums and moodiness, low tolerance for frustration, hyperactivity, limited attention, poor social skills, low self-esteem, defiance of authority, lack of direction and motivation, substance use, and a decline in academics. I can assist individuals and families in developing strategies to reduce these disruptive symptoms.

Whether you are dealing with chronic mental or physical health problems, stressful life transitions, traumatic events or other life challenges, you can get help and healing.

I have learned that regardless of approach, therapy works when there is a foundation built on trust, curiosity, empathy and honesty. Therapy is not prescriptive nor one size fits all. It's a process that necessitates vulnerability, and it can be difficult and painful -- as trust, honesty, change and vulnerability are. That doesn't translate into you leaving the session falling apart; my job is to create a safe space to facilitate growth at a pace you can tolerate.

My approach to therapy is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and draws on multiple theoretical approaches depending on the needs of the patient.

These can include difficulties with coworkers and supervisors, family or romantic relationships, identity issues, unwanted dependencies, loss, loneliness, inertia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, rage, compulsive behaviors, and other self-destructive patterns.
