Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

I will help you solve your problems in living. In our work together, you will learn the sources of your difficulties, whether historical or related to current life circumstances, and to more effectively manage/overcome these problems. Therapy shouldn’t be a temporary solution to problems, but produce meaningful/stable change.
In 20+ years as a psychologist, both as clinician and research scientist, I’ve garnered experience in understanding problems in living for both individuals, and couples; particularly problems associated with difficult early relationships, and chronic (i.e., partner problems, illness, sexual problems) or extreme (i.e., childhood neglect, loss) stress.
