I work in person with couples for 90 minute to 2 hour blocks.
In long term committed relationships we all long to feel seen and known. Couples in distress often say they are having a “communication” problem but it’s actually a “connection” problem. That’s because the normal rhythm in relationships from infancy on involves rupture & repair. Couples in distress typically struggle with too much rupture/disconnection and too little or no repair. The result is either chronic unproductive conflict or distance & isolation. It's from this place that people turn away from each other and engage in addictions & affairs, making it more challenging, but not impossible, to rediscover intimacy & connection.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in various settings, currently working exclusively with adults in individual therapy. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that I help clients look at current symptoms and relationship problems as manifestations of patterns - often outside of our awareness - that we learn in childhood. Often this learning leads us to suppress important parts of ourselves and our experiences, which in turn leads to suffering. I believe that exploring these patterns and slowly acquainting ourselves with disowned feelings and conflicts is critical for lasting symptom change.

I offer in-person and telehealth therapy for individuals and couples, with weekday scheduling and some flexibility available.
Most people don’t come to therapy because they don’t understand what’s wrong. They come because they keep ending up in the same place, even when they’re trying not to. Maybe it’s the same argument with your partner, the same anxiety loop in your head, or the same moment where you shut down, react, avoid, or do something you regret. You may be insightful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck. That’s where we start.
I’m a good fit for clients who want a therapist who will be compassionate and engaged, but who will also help name patterns clearly instead of only validating them

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
