If you find yourself struggling in
relationship
to those most important to you or are looking to forge an individual therapeutic
relationship
, please reach out.
I work with individuals,
couples
and families navigating a myriad of struggles. Some are questioning how to best be in connection with those they care about and looking for ways out of repeated negative cycles. Others are simply hoping to be supported and witnessed as they navigate life's many pains and joys. My greatest professional hope is that I can provide both.

We all have the fundamental need to grow into and express who we are meant to be. However, this natural process can be inhibited by our need to adapt to pressures of family and society, by trauma, or by seemingly unresolvable contradictions in our personality. The goal of therapy is to bring this latent process to life, and to make it more conscious. A good therapeutic
relationship
will help you to be more receptive to yourself and to notice and honor these inner workings.

problems, life transitions, depression and anxiety, issues related to pregnancy/postpartum, and BPD.
“I just want to feel happy.” Or “why are relationships so hard for me?” Or maybe, “I wish I didn’t worry ALL the time.” If these lines have run through your mind, you’re not alone. And you’ve come to the right place! My style is warm, genuine, and practical. I use humor and honesty to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be your true, authentic self. I believe the key to progress in therapy is developing insight into patterns (relationships, behaviors, and thoughts), while learning concrete skills to make real tangible changes in the here and now.

I provide individual, marriage and
couples
, and parenting counseling; anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance misuse treatment; and job & career support.
Burdening friends with your troubles drains your friends and leaves your problems intact, because friends aren't qualified to deal with your underlying issues. Through a warm and caring connection, I'll guide you as we explore issues that interfere with satisfaction in love, work, and play. So, if you're dealing with a difficult boss or the challenges of parenting, trying to start a
relationship
or moving on after a breakup, mourning a loss or experiencing a creative block, call me for reality-based therapy to help you find the joy in everyday life.

The journey towards healing and self-exploration is a sacred and deep encounter. Finding the right person who is attuned and able to respond to your needs is an essential part of this journey. I am an experienced psychoanalyst and a graduate of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis. I bring a gentle and balanced approach to treatment to restore vitality to your life and to feel understood. Our sense of being is naturally capable of nourishing healthy aspects of the self and transforming wounded or stuck parts. These fragmentations often result in depression, anxiety,
relationship
issues, and creative blocks.

I focus primarily on individuals and
couples
.
A sense of well being comes from an inner confidence and a strong belief in oneself. If that belief has not been a significant part of our early lives, we need to instill it now. We do that through an INTERACTIVE,EMPATHIC person-to-person process that stresses awareness-both intellectual and emotional-of what's holding us back, and how we can move forward.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
