My approach is grounded in cognitive behavior therapy and behavior therapy. My sessions tend to be active, goal-oriented, and engaging. I love the work and welcomes complex and challenging cases.

I may not be the right therapist for everyone. A successful therapeutic relationship begins with a rapport between the therapist and their patient. Often, patients will meet me and we have an instant empathic connection. We both have a gut feeling it will develop into a good working alliance. My goal is to help patients become more aware of their obstacles, to find ways to resolve their inner conflicts, and make better choices. Patients are often unaware of how deeply other people and experiences have impacted them.

In me, you'll have a collaborator who will listen and follow your lead but also be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Let's figure out the next steps together.

These are not easy times and so many of us are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected in your relationships, or struggling in your career. Through it all, connection is what grounds us, and therapy is based on connection. Let’s figure out together where you are stuck, where you've lost your way, and what gets in the way of warmth and closeness with the people who matter to you the most. During our time together, I will be present in an actively collaborative way as we figure out how to clear a path to the life you want.

As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe environment for reflection where discovering and exploring fixed patterns that hinder you from realizing goals can lead to awareness. We all have parts of ourselves that we do not understand and feel that we cannot change, often leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Telling your story and gaining deeper understanding of yourself can have transforming effects on your life. I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family , school, issues with self-esteem, identity, and trauma. My analytic training makes me a skilled and empathic listener, helping to identify themes that lead to insights and more choices.

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

I am a dedicated, caring and experienced psychotherapist. I will help you understand the nature of your problems and the wide array of treatment options available. My goal is to help you overcome any psychological difficulties, leading to better understand yourself and enhance your happiness. I approach each patient in a holistic, caring and non-judgmental manner. Together we will identify and apply the right treatment. I bring a special combination of warmth and intellect into your treatment.

I offer a relationship-based approach to psychotherapy in a safe and comfortable environment. I work collaboratively with you to explore and understand your feelings, your struggles, your dreams and your fears. Through this process you will find that your personal relationships and your sense of "self" are strengthened and your professional life is enriched. You begin to live your life more fully. I work with adults, adolescents, children and infants in individual, couple and family therapy . My areas of special interest and expertise are relationship issues, pre and post-natal counseling, adoptive parenting, divorce, and body image/eating disorders.

Coping skills are important, and I will certainly help you with those. But you want to really live your life, not just get through it. Merely coping is not enough, you want to thrive! That's my working assumption. If you don't think that's possible, that's where our work begins, to figure out how you can regain hope, and the belief that vitality is your birthright. Clearing space for creativity is an important part of the process. Don't have a creative bone in your body, you say? I say you're wrong. Let's talk.
