All clients need empathy, understanding, caring, and insight about the sources of their problems. But clients also want concrete suggestions about how to improve their lives. I work with a wide variety of clients, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I specialize in couple therapy with highly-stressed couples on the brink of dissolving their relationship, but also with couples just starting out or those just beginning to have difficulties who want to prevent destructive patterns that lead to divorce. I work with children and teens in family therapy and individually, and with individual adults.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

I help children/adolescents and adults to imaginatively explore their feelings through mindfulness and talk therapy.
I imagine you may wonder what your life means. You might want to feel vitally connected to nature, the spiritual world and people in your life. Or you feel sad or numb and want to understand why, to feel more energy. Or you just want to sit still and not worry about the future. In one way or another, you are looking to feel safe and fulfilled, to relieve distress and feel less alone. Perhaps you feel loneliness and don't know what to do about it or have an addiction you sometimes hide and sometimes admit to yourself. You may have a child or adolescent you're concerned about, with conflicts you hope can heal.

I am proud of my professional training which combines child therapy, intensive internships in developmental psychology, Piagetian psychology, psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy.
I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

I have worked since 1983 with anxious and depressed adults and children, and with couples who suffer due to a lack of healthy communication and due to addictive behaviors.
Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.
