Are you feeling hopeless in your relationship? Always angry or lonely? Feel like you can't communicate? Maybe you lie awake at night staring at the ceiling. Who this stranger asleep beside you? And the sex? You either do it to keep the peace, or it hardly happens at all. Or there's been an affair. You feel like the earth has literally disappeared beneath your feet. Your trust is shattered. I can help to heal the rupture and yourself. To talk to each other so you really connect, and become the couple you always needed to be.

​I consider my work to be a privilege. I create a safe, trusting atmosphere while helping clients uncover key insights that lead to personal growth and greater clarity. I focus on improving my clients' relationships with themselves, their family, significant others and friends. Throughout the therapeutic process, I encourages my clients to think about themselves in new ways, while talking about feelings and thoughts that we usually hold at a distance. I will work with you to understand how your past is affecting your current situation and get to the bottom of your issues, for achieving deep, lasting changes.

I have been providing psychotherapy for the past 32 years to individuals and couples. I address the hurt, sadness, anger, anxiety and depression you feel and the loss of emotional contact in your important relationships. Sometimes painful loss arises from traumatic shock, and sometimes from the non-traumatic experiences of growing up. I can help you identify your needs and relieve your confusion about what is important, so that you can repair your connection with those you love. Healing is in the therapeutic relationship and the skills I can teach you that can enable you to live a freer life.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Sometimes you just need someone to listen. Sometimes you just need to “get it off your chest”. I believe counseling is what you make it.

I have worked with a multitude of people including teenagers, young adults, mature adults and elderly in many different areas including issues related to coming of age, depression, family conflict, incarceration and anxiety to name a few.

Addiction is a disease. It can cause chaos and confusion to the individual and the family. Once you realize the unmanageability and powerlessness, it is time to seek professional help.

As my real-life Social Worker Hero, Brene Brown, stated, "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community." I truly believe that this represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy.
