Whether you are an individual, a couple, or an elder, I would like to help you deal with the problems that prevent you from living a life with meaning and contentment.
As an experienced practitioner of therapy and of life, I have a psychodynamic foundation, a mindfulness-based clinical practice, and an understanding of how trauma affects your life. I want to help you age with grace. I use many treatment approaches to help you cope with mood disorders, chronic mental illness, addictions, grief, or family concerns.
I see therapy as a relationship between two people who explore together the struggles that make life hard. I try to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment in which to explore issues authentically. I believe that we all have the strength and resources inside to find answers and meaning. Please take the first step toward feeling better by calling me.
