My approach in the therapeutic relationship integrates various theoretical perspectives which serve to guide our work together.
Famed poet Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony then bearing an untold story inside you”. I believe we all have untold stories and these life stories can produce emotional discomforts and become a source of unresolved pain. With over 20 years’ experience I can support you in the therapeutic journey to gain awareness, insight, and understanding into beliefs about self that disrupt relationships and daily functioning. I completed certification in Couples Therapy and specialize in work with couples. Currently, I am pursuing certification as a sex therapist to help couples better address sexual dysfunction.

In addition to my insight-oriented work targeted at exploring conflicting feelings, wishes, and other sources of “stuckness”, I integrate principles of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help patients who struggle with impulsivity, emotion regulation, and dealing with various relationship and life stressors.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who sees individuals, couples, and families. I believe that therapy is a place of growth where empathy and acceptance are balanced with a challenge that is necessary to gain a new perspective, overcome internal barriers, and experience new, healthier, and more fulfilling ways of being.

I have had success with teens, adults, and couples.
Experienced individual/ couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and understand which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better, live more consciously and have more successful relationships. I teach, offer supervision and training analysis.

For over 20 years, I have been working with diverse individuals and couples in therapy.
Individuals and couples who see me for therapy are typically dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a low sense of self-worth, grief, and/or trauma. They are struggling to take risks with vulnerability, to process loss, set boundaries, understand the power of no, discern safe spaces, and build trust. Many of my patients are challenged by the stories their anxiety tells them, negative self-talk, sadness that makes it difficult to effectively process their thoughts and feelings, and previous traumatic experiences or vicarious exposure to trauma.

Change - whether it is personal, professional, environmental - is the one constant in everyone's life and also the one thing we fear most. It is even more difficult adapting to change that is forced upon us. We often feel alone, vulnerable and unmoored in these moments of transition. As a therapist, I want to assist my clients in tapping into their inner wellspring of resilience and guide them through these challenging life phases; I have experience working with a variety of individuals /concerns/issues, such as LGBTQIA+, veterans, couples, anxiety, depression, stage of life transition and those struggling with identity issues.

I bring healthy doses of curiosity, empathy, and candor to my work with individuals and couples.
Are you overwhelmed by stress or anxiety? Are you navigating questions related to your identity, or struggling with interpersonal conflict, communication, and relationship-building? Would you like to better understand and manage extreme emotions that are interfering in your day-to-day life? These challenges can make us feel stuck, and can be obstacles to achieving our goals and building a life (or relationship) that we find meaningful and fulfilling. We can work together to identify and overcome those obstacles, get 'unstuck,' and set you on a clear path to achieving your life and relationship goals.

I work with individuals and couples on many issues, including trauma, sexual orientation and relationships.
You may feel lonely even when not alone, dissatisfied even as your life is in many ways successful. If you relate to loved ones without the experience of lasting intimacy, you may think that your deepest dreams were not realized, as if a cloud from yesterday is coloring everything differently from the way your life is meant to be. But now is not then, and life does not have to be a theater for reminiscing, loss or disillusionment. It is possible that underneath your suffering lies the sparkle of your true essence.

Finding your way through the rough patches can be difficult. Sometimes we get stuck in the brambles of anxiety, stress, depressed mood, a difficult life transition, or an unhappy relationship. We can feel at a loss for how best to move forward. Having a skilled and compassionate guide can help you avoid dead ends and find your way home. During our time together, I will roll up my sleeves and work to empower you with the tools and support you can use to improve your mood, reduce anxiety, cope with stress, navigate difficult life transitions, and create emotionally intelligent relationships.

In the field of social work for 45 years, I specialize in working individually with LGBTQ+ young people. While acquiring deeper insight into what makes you tick, putting that knowledge to work is key. Setting realistic, attainable goals is an indispensable part of the process. Psychoanalytic and relational theories inform my work, and I view the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of treatment.

As a therapist, I strive to help couples better understand their relationship dynamic so that they can interpret and interrupt unhealthy patterns in and out of the therapy room.
Sometimes patterns of communication can get in the way of building deeper connections and leave us feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed in our relationships. These patterns can make it difficult to see eye-to-eye when experiencing grief, life transitions, increased stress, or uncertainty about what’s next. By exploring the factors that contribute to both healthy and unhealthy dynamics, therapy becomes a collaborative environment where each partner can practice giving and receiving empathy. Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, or life transitions, couples therapy can be a place to deepen connection and find collective healing.
