"Feeling stuck, unfulfilled or wondering why you keep finding yourself repeating the same behavior expecting different results? I work with clients on becoming curious about what lies at the root of their behavioral patterns that might have worked in the past but no longer feel positive. We work on identifying inner strengths and optimizing their use for personal empowerment and increased life enjoyment. Tailoring treatment to best respond to individual needs is important to me.

"The relationship with your inner self is at the core of your existence. The quality of this connection is a barometer of how you feel daily. What is your default attitude towards yourself? Is it critical, negative, filled with loss OR kind, accepting, compassionate, curious, and forgiving? Together, we’ll work on developing a plan that gradually leads to awareness in which you can embrace all parts of oneself (e.g., strength and weakness). I firmly believe that healing is an inherent part of life, which is accessible to everyone no matter where you are in this journey. "

It has been my experience--professionally, as well as personally--that counseling is beneficial at any stage (or age!) of life."

"Who are you, really? Could your beliefs about yourself be real, but not true? Might it be that there's nothing wrong with you? And that perhaps you could learn to live with more self-compassion, freedom and joy? It all starts with arriving in the present moment: a shift in perspective can open a whole new world to wellbeing. I believe that within us, we each have a part of us, deep down, who is quite wise, who we can access to help guide us through our journey. Dr. Peter Levine of Somatic Experiencing says, "trauma is a fact of life but it doesn't have to be a life sentence." I know this to be true from my own personal experience. And I also know trauma doesn't have to be what people call "big T" trauma - an accident, assault, or natural disaster - it can also be developmental: that our needs as a child weren't met in the way we would have liked & needed to feel safe, secure & soothed. But we can learn to "titrate" or dip our toe into the water, slowly & gently, through a trusted holding space, to address some of these very young, wounded, overwhelmed, &/or angry & frustrated parts so they can be transformed & healed - & so they no longer get so easily triggered in your daily life."

Or maybe you're the 'nice guy' who's constantly the friend of every woman you'd actually like to date."

"My specialty is short term Couples Therapy. If we want to feel safe in working out our difficulties, we have to learn some communication techniques that work. The first goal in therapy therefore, is to begin to talk to each other in a way so that even if we're not necessarily agreed with, its a relief to finally be heard and understood. Working out solutions can proceed from there, but only when its safe enough to be open and honest. Learning and using these techniques is a tremendous growth experience both individually and as a couple. Results can be seen almost immediately and consolidated in 4-6 sessions."

"I believe that supporting an individual’s emotional well-being is the primary force for positive growth. In therapy clients can safely explore thoughts and feelings in a way that creates space to see our patterns more clearly. I value the relationship and believe it is the foundation for the working through process to happiness and uncovering a sense of purpose and meaning in life. My understanding of therapy primarily draws from psychoanalytic perspectives but I also incorporate mindfulness and contemporary views on trauma in my work. Individuals might need different approaches and I do my best to meet you where you are at."
