After a twenty-year career in the education field, I am confident we can work together effectively on what has brought you to the point of reaching out for help. My style of counseling combines an awareness of how past experiences impact our thinking and behaviors with a mindfulness-based appreciation of our unchanging core. If you're in a troubling relationship I help to develop safe spaces to deepen connection and intimacy through deep listening and self-compassion. Families looking for help with teens can expect a variety of concrete approaches to engage them involving multiple family members as appropriate.

The primary focus of my work with clients is to listen to and understand each person as they are, with the intention of forming a therapeutic relationship that allows for healing, growth and transformation. My approach is based on the belief that people deserve to know more about themselves, and that this can help them to connect with others, to experience less suffering and to overcome obstacles that limit their enjoyment of life. I will offer an atmosphere of empathy and respect, along with insights and observations based on your specific situation and needs.

I'm a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst. I work with people seeking to navigate the complexities and challenges of their lives, in particular relationships, issues of self esteem, depression and anxiety, and major life transitions. This work is about connecting more fully with our unconscious – that part of it which binds us to the past and that which points to the future. The goal is that, over time, we develop a more robust, self-reflective form of experience which breaks through the closed circle of outdated and self-defeating narratives, embraces agency and responsibility, and leads to a life that is full, authentic, and our own.

Integrating my training as a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with 3 decades of coaching & playing competitive soccer, I developed a unique style of integrating my passion for athleticism and team into my psychotherapy and coaching practice. While the quest for understanding the past is important to the process, achieving goals, identifying obstacles, considering options, and defining action steps is the essence of the work. "Trying" is understandable but "Doing" is essential! This approach has been particularly successful with adolescent and adult men.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents, families and couples. I have over twenty years of experience in advocating and working collaboratively with pediatrics schools and parents in order to meet the specific needs of each individual child and their family. I believe strongly in empowering young people and their families by using a strengths based approach. I believe that parent and co-parent coaching can strengthen the core of the family, thereby allowing more time and energy for joy, active presence, and connection.

I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I am also a medical doctor, and am able to prescribe medication, when medication is indicated. I help my patients learn about themselves and their relationships by discovering the underlying problem and addressing that directly. Treatment that works facilitates internal change that lasts. I learn a lot about you from listening to your story of yourself and your life. Also, we both learn a lot from reflecting on our interactions with each other.

If you find yourself wondering why you have the difficulties that you have and are at a loss for how to effect real change, you are not alone. Our symptoms are most often expressions of the best solutions we can find to cope with our deepest wounds. However, these solutions can become wounds of their own, and often draw us further from the sources of our suffering, leaving us feeling stuck, hopeless and confused.

Are you trying to make changes in yourself, your work, your education, or your relationships? Maybe the problem is clear but the solution feels out of reach. Or maybe it’s not quite clear what is out of kilter, but you or they sense change is necessary. Even if there is no owner's manual for change, my life experience as a parent/grandparent, and my varied professional background in mental health, public policy, and academia have convinced me that change can be an enriching part of life. Psychotherapy is a place to explore change openly.

My approach to treatment is interactive and engaging. I find that clients appreciate and benefit from an active therapist that will help identify areas of difficulty and work on initiating changes rather than a passive, primarily listening approach to treatment. A comfortable fit between therapist and client is an essential part of successful work together. Consistent with that, I'm happy to do a phone consultation so you can get a sense of how I approach this process. In terms of insurance, if you have out-of-network benefits we should be able to make therapy affordable.

I coach adults who want to resolve old patterns of self-sabotage in order to stop spinning their wheels and move forward in their lives. I specialize in helping Highly Sensitive individuals create a more supportive inner environment while learning to communicate more effectively with others. I help artists and other creative people overcome fear of visibility, enhance their productivity and become more self-expressive. My coaching is brief, deep, and gently transformative.

I don’t like stating what disorders I treat. Diagnoses are limiting. I work with people, and people are complicated. Sure, you have symptoms that bother you, or you wouldn’t be looking at therapists on this site. But your symptoms vary, and you may not be clear about their origins or why they persist.

In my 15-year career as a Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice, I help individuals and couples navigate change: Identify change they desire. Achieve and sustain conscious change. Endure change they didn’t expect and/or don’t want. If communication is a problem... If your relationship is conflict-filled, lonely, sexually unsatisfying, stuck... If you're struggling with a major life decision, change or crisis... Please reach out. Together, we'll figure out what's in your way. That is, what needs to stop, start or be different to make your relationship with yourself or significant others feel good?

Have you noticed patterns in your life you'd like to change? Negative moods? Unexplained pain? Often these are signs of unresolved trauma. Therapy can help us understand and integrate the meaning enabling us to make changes to our behavior so that we are more successful in our personal and professional lives. I work with adults, children from as young as 2 yrs old, and families. My work is strength based, empowering people to meet personal goals, improve relationships and develop a more comfortable, meaningful life. I attend to the mind body connection. My approach is solution focused and playful.

Adolescents and young people are creating a bridge for their adult future. I am passionate about guiding this process of transformation for the world’s future. I work with parents, families, children, youth, and adolescents to learn to fully live in the world and to claim a place for each individual for the whole. Gary teaches teens to meet their absolute place in the world. Together I help each adolescent move beyond stuck-ness, anxiety or uncertainty. You may be a parent struggling with your teen’s screen or gaming addiction with no solution. Left alone, it could take years - if ever – for him move to a zest for life.

Now more than ever, many of us are doing our best to survive and get through each day. The thought of doing more than just surviving can be paralyzing. Perhaps you've been coping with anxiety or depression, daily stressors related to parenting and relationships, work related stress or trauma. Perhaps you are on a personal quest to identify what makes you feel alive in this world. Therapy can be a great place to explore such challenges. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and we will work together to find the path that best meets your needs.
