Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP

Issues at home, work, in relationships or within yourself can feel overwhelming--like roadblocks with no roadmap. I provide a trusted space for adults, couples and adolescents to work through difficulties that might leave you feeling stressed, confused, isolated anxious, angry, sad, or alone. We examine immediate stresses and past experiences that may be impacting your present life. I listen very carefully and supportively-not just for what may be holding you back--but also for what may help you thrive. As a licensed psychoanalyst with extensive broadcasting experience, I also specialize in social/performance anxiety issues.

My work is compassionate, interactive and decisive, always towards your greater authenticity. We focus on discovering, developing and achieving your goals and on reducing obstacles towards them. We can work quickly in a crisis or explore deeper issues. I love complex issues: the tensions within couples that stunt their intimacy. The challenges of parenting. The lingering sense that you cannot reach some vital aspects of yourself.

If you are a creative soul, an artist, a writer, an actor, a performer, or even a unique individual looking to tell your story in this world and are looking for wide ranging help in areas of life and artistic expression I believe you are in the right place. My artwork has been exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and has been featured in a variety of publications. I recently finished a novel and am close to completing a screenplay. Without outlets for artistic expression our light becomes dim. I worked on my undergraduate concentration focusing on the psychology of art and artists.

Hello! I am a sex-positive, sexuality and gender identity-affirming therapist working with individuals, couples and partners. I work with people at any stage of coming out and living. I am easy to talk to about non-traditional relationship models, such as polyamory and kink. With couples and partners I often coach empathic listening and validation skills, and then experiment with relationship agreements to serve you better.

You hate everyone. Even therapists. I get it. There are very good possible reasons for this state of affairs. You could be depressed. You might have childhood trauma. Or maybe people just suck.

Psychotherapy offers a wonderful opportunity to discover more about who we are and what it is that we want. Therapy should help us to find compassion for ourselves, to have patience with the unresolved and to find the courage to live more fully in the moment. This work offers us a chance to grow and evolve and be graced by the ability to view the world with less distortion, denial and illusion, and live in the freedom that comes with seeing things the way they really are.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD

I most frequently work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Common goals of therapy include boosting self-worth and assertiveness skills; improving communication, connection, & intimacy in relationships; developing strong coping mechanisms for managing worrry, angst, sadness and self-doubt; clarifying and surmounting personal and life goals (i.e., forming meaningful relationships, career acceleration, improved health) and mastering life transitions (i.e., new parenthood, job change, relationship break-up, retirement). Therapy with me is highly engaging and collaborative.

Therapy is helpful when something in your life challenges your ability to live deeply and fully. In our work together we address what is in your way. It might be anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, chronic stress, illness, trauma or something else unique to your history. Life presents many challenges, and finding the right support when you need it can make a huge difference. Everyone has the capacity to live with more clarity, connectedness and joy, and it's my pleasure to assist in enabling that.

Everyone deserves to have an emotional education. Self-awareness and self-understanding are powerful tools, used constructively are transformative. Can you imagine feeling empowered, feeling positive rather than consumed by depression, anxiety and self-doubt. Living life is not simple, relationships can be strained and conflicts occur at home, at school, at work and in social groups.

Deciding to enter therapy is an act of courage. When people feel overwhelmed, or if they realize they're caught in a rut they can't get out of, therapy can make a difference when nothing else has worked. I help my patients recognize previously-unknown obstacles and long-standing patterns that get in the way of achieving their goals. In their work with me, my patients expand their capacity to see options in various areas of their lives, and so make changes that improve and enhance the quality of their lives. I work with adults of all backgrounds, and bring compassion and respect for a person's suffering to the work I do.

Have you wondered if you would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; I can help you and your family work through difficulties and become their own therapist by learning how to deal with challenges. I work well with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance issues and goal attainment. My approach is solution-focused. I am easy to talk to, compassionate, and genuine. Clients often see a reduction in symptoms early on in therapy.

The amount of energy you spend managing your food, managing your impulses, managing your negative body image is unsustainable. It’s exhausting! Some days, finding something that you can tolerate wearing is virtually impossible. You end up with a crumpled pile of clothing on your bed – a mound of misery that will have to be dealt with when you get home tonight. Still, you can’t stop. No matter how miserable this is, no matter how many times you promise yourself that this is the last time – there is always another. Another meal you just can’t eat… Another binge you just can’t resist. Another weight you have to reach.
