My ideal client is someone open to the process of therapy. Someone who is willing to show up for themselves, and “put in the work”. My client may be someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or challenges of ADHD, such as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. My client may be feeling in a rut or “stuck” in personal aspects of their life. My client may be challenged by different phases and stages of life, by not feeling capable or feeling easily overwhelmed. They want to engage in therapy and work on achieving their personal goals in a space where they are seen, heard, validated and encouraged.

I've been in private practice since 1980 - and I love my work, probably even more than then. My clients are mostly adults, with an occasional primary school age or adolescent child. As psychotherapy has become more accepted, older adults have become more likely to come as individuals and occasionally with a partner and/or adult child. It's wonderful to see people grow and be relieved of their emotional burdens - Freud didn't believe it was possible to do psychological depth work after mid-life, but was he ever wrong!

I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients feel both supported and respected. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which we work together towards goals that feel both realistic and manageable. I work collaboratively with clients helping them understand patterns of behavior and thinking, through a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I welcome working with adults of all ages to explore challenges of major life transitions, which often involve anxiety, depression, grief, or anger. For clients who want to better manage stress, I teach and coach self-regulation techniques to help build resilience. I partner with those who wish to understand themselves better, treat themselves better, and live more satisfying and meaningful lives. Many find that talking with a therapist helps them to identify their feelings, improve communication and connection to others, find the strength to make necessary changes, and to live a more authentic life.

Many people begin therapy when they find themselves struggling with the same issues over and over, whether feeling stuck in negative cycles in their relationship, being self-critical, or eating too much, hoping things will change but not knowing how to make that happen. Others are looking for help in dealing with a major life transition such as divorce, empty nesting, or recovering from an affair. If you are an individual or a couple seeking growth and change, we can work together to reveal a path for you to restructure your life with intention.

My website is being updated. Please email or call. My practice specializes in group psychotherapy for children and adolescents. Many common psychological conditions interfere with children's social functioning, and groups provide an opportunity for learning new skills, overcoming obstacles to social development, and building more satisfying relationships with peers and adults. We work with children and teens with social anxiety, depression and related mood disorders, ADHD, learning difficulties, mild Autism Spectrum Disorder, and executive functioning deficits, and we focus on the social complications of these conditions.

Most often people come to therapy because they are experiencing some depression or anxiety related to their relationships, work, or sense of themselves. Despite this pain, making the decision to enter into therapy is often difficult. It takes great courage and a certain amount of hope. It is important to find a therapist with whom you think you will eventually be as open and honest as possible; someone who is non-judgmental, and who can both give and accept feedback. I will take the initial sessions to help us figure out if we can be good collaborators in this undertaking.

Many of us experience trauma and loss in a variety of life experiences. Often, we don't understand the impact these experiences can have on our lives, relationships, and development. We feel depressed, anxious, or think we are 'crazy'. Children can be seen as 'behavioral problems'. My work is devoted to educating and aiding my clients in their understanding of, and healing from life trauma's. These may include child abuse, early loss, illness, and divorce. I work openly and collaboratively with my clients in a warm and informal style. I hold someone's experience as unique, and their sharing it with me, an honor.
