Are you having having relationship problems or overwhelming stress? I am a psychologist and psychoanalyst with an interpersonal/humanistic approach who specializes in relationship problems, couples therapy, women's issues and gender identity concerns. In individual therapy, clients discover the causes of their distress and find ways to feel "real" and "alive" in the world. Self-defeating patterns of thoughts and behaviors are identified and re-evaluated. More realistic and helpful perceptions, attitudes and behaviors can then emerge. Couples therapy emphasizes respectful communication and listening techniques. "Hearing" one's partner as well as expressing one's own distress becomes important.

Making the decision to reach out for counseling can be really hard and you are already on the way towards living the life you want just by taking this step! I believe in meeting you where you are and working in a collaborative way to help address issues that may be causing you distress. While I take a problem-solving approach to helping clients, I also believe in the benefits of supportive therapy as people navigate daily challenges. **Please note I am no longer accepting couples**

I believe that the client's experience, both in and out of the therapy room, is most important in a helping relationship.

Through incorporating CBT strategies along with focusing on one's emotional responses, I will work in collaboration so that you can effectively work on issues that brought you to therapy.

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy.

I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.
