**Note: For fastest response, please contact me via e-mail. ** Life is busy, stressful, and anxious. It is a constant effort to manage all of the "should"s and the "musts"; the expectations and the high standards - put on you most often by no one more than yourself! But life is also beautiful, rewarding, and fun - if you can only slow down and get out of your head long enough to enjoy it. Even the many positive aspects of our lives can be overwhelming when we get caught in that anxious cycle.

Everyone has a story to tell however deep, raw and painful the story might be. The decision to seek an objective professional person to listen to that story is one of the most important decision anyone can make. The trust that potential patients will entrust in me is priceless.

Building trusting, honest, direct and empathic relationships with my clients is most important to me and is what I believe makes therapy successful.

I am a psychodynamic/analytically trained clinical social worker. I have been teaching clinical practice and practicing for over 30 years. Its often quite frightening to come to a stranger and share one's suffering. I often recommend that one initially goes for a consultation. The consultation hopefully, will provide a sense if the therapist can be of help. Therapy is a collaboration of two people. People often seek therapy when there is a painful loss or disappointment in their lives. Understanding and support helps in the recovery process.

I am dedicated to connecting with you and helping you work through difficult times. I am available for phone and video sessions currently. The nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship can deepen your understanding of yourself and teach you new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so you can feel safe and comfortable sharing your deepest feelings.
