Life is a dynamic, creative process - your therapy should be so as well. If you feel that your life is overbalanced with drudgery and that joy is often eclipsed by an unfulfilled sense of simply getting through the days - I believe I can help. If you are seeking a direct, highly interactional psychoanalyst with whom you can engage, explore, learn about yourself, and jump-start your life, I look forward to meeting with you and/or your partner.

Life can be difficult at times. Relationship problems, issues at work, financial or parenting concerns, or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with our life circumstances, all can contribute to depression, anxiety or self-medicating and substance abuse. Whether it is getting rid of your fear, understanding why you are so sad, changing patterns of repeated painful relationships, or eliminatining self-destructive behaviors, the happiness you want and deserve is actually within your control. My approach is solution oriented. My style is collaborative. Patients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively with clients.

To be heard in a non-judgmental, empathic way provides an environment to safely explore your relationship with others and with yourself. To be heard and have that understanding communicated in clear, compassionate terms helps support you while we explore its meaning and consequences. When better ways of dealing with life stressors are discovered, unsuccessful ways of coping are automatically shed and new skills appear.

My training as an Art Therapist, Social Worker, Psychoanalyst and Life Coach provide me with a unique combination of skills and resources which I use in the service of helping my clients find clarity in life, and achieve their goals. Sometimes we feel angry, sad, frustrated, anxious and unfulfilled without really knowing why. The combination of knowing and understanding our past, in the context of our present life, provides us with an invaluable amount of information we can use to understand and change how we feel and what we do in our lives.

Psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery that will help you connect with your inner life, unbind from the past, and live fully in the present. As you learn about and acknowledge different aspects of yourself, you will find rough spots, as well as resources. All parts of your experience play important roles and we can understand what has been useful, what parts might be modified, as well as parts that offer strength and support that can be built upon. These discoveries remove potential obstacles to your growth and open avenues for connection and well-being.

If you're having difficulty living with painful or troubling feelings and the perspectives and behaviors that can go with them, I can help by having us make sense of them together so you'll both feel and DO better. I make it a point to check in from time to time with each person I work with to inquire to what extent you're feeling understood and helped. I utilize mindfulness in the work I do, when it seems like it will be useful.
