I use a psychodynamically-informed perspective to work with people who struggle with depressed or anxious mood, or who are not satisfied with their progress in relationships, careers, identities, family development or other aspects of life. I apply techniques including cognitive behavioral or positive psychology strategies, mindfulness and hypnotherapy. You may be looking to figure out current solutions, to address longstanding problems or to have support in dealing with an unexpected or unwanted life transition. Together we can sort through the issues and work towards your desired outcomes.

In my practice, I see people with a variety of concerns about their relationships, careers, and other aspects of their lives. Whether you are experiencing troubling symptoms like depression or anxiety, feeling dissatisfied or held back, or having difficulty coming to terms with loss or other stressful life events, my goal would be to help you understand yourself better, feel more content, and live your life more fully. My approach is kind, thoughtful, and collaborative. I typically start by listening to your story, to get to know you and what led you to seek treatment.

People try everything they can to solve their difficulties on their own before calling a therapist. It's precisely our own personal luggage that disables us from fulfilling our own potential and making the changes we so desire. Finding a therapist who is right for you can help you gain a better understanding of yourself and can be very useful to getting you to where you want to be. What is most important is that you feel free to talk about whatever is currently distressing you the most. For that, you need to ensure that you are a good fit with your therapist.

You don't have to suffer alone. There is help. We can work together so that you experience a more fulfilled life. I work with clients on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, spiritual issues, and loss and grief. I can also help clients struggling with trauma, ADHD, and sleep difficulties. Primarily I use a psychodynamic perspective, appreciating the underlying causes to the difficulties we face. I also integrate techniques from other approaches, such as gestalt, emotion-focused therapy, short-term psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, depending on the client's unique problems and goals.

When one makes the decision to seek help it is the courageous first step in the journey to self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. Very simply, my role as a therapist is to help you begin the transformative journey of uncovering limiting beliefs that are obstacles to emotional wellness.

I believe that in order to change anything, we first need to understand and accept it. This is done through talking. I bring an empathetic, worldly, and multidisciplinary approach to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what you want. We all repeat the same patterns through our lives that sometimes prevent us from happiness.Through therapy, we can start to observe those patterns, and then decide how we want to change them.

I offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to individuals and groups in a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment. My goal is to provide the right balance of support and challenge to help each client work, play and love to the fullest of his or her potential. I frequently work with clients who have experienced early wounding as well as those having difficulty with transitions in relationships, aging, loss, or end of life. I enjoy work with artists seeking to free creative energy. I see each client as unique and our work together as an exploration of what is possible, desirable and achievable.

As both a psychotherapist and a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, I offer adult psychotherapy services, from both a trauma-informed and attachment-informed lens. That means that our work together may include traditional talk therapy based in a relational approach, along with attention to and awareness of how the things we are working with show up in the physical body (sensations), emotions, and in relationship.

You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it"-Unknown Inspiration is a person, place, experience that makes someone want to do something or create something. I like to think of therapy as a place to inspire people to do better, to want better, to create better and to live better. My ultimate goal is for my clients to embrace their full sense of self, walk away feeling empowered and take courageous steps towards living the life they want to live. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where vulnerabilities are embraced and used to shape people into the human beings they were created to be.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I've also practiced meditation in the Zen tradition for about 25 years, so I specialize in counseling couples and individuals who want to incorporate a more mindful and present and joyful way of being in life. We do this by exploring the present moment: looking at what is happening in the body, the mind, and the spirit--right here, right now. I help clients unlock old, painful patterns, and together we look at what is truly informing the emotional reactions and thought patterns governing our lives, so that a more awake and connected life can be lived.

As a Therapist, I play a risky role in my client's life. I have the potential to become another fearful problematic relationship, which is, in most cases, the repetitive maladaptive pattern of functioning that causes clients to find themselves in tuff situations. I help people work on changing behaviors and deal with grief, anxiety, anger, and depression in a non-damaging approach to preserve my client's self-esteem and effectively make necessary changes. My goal of treatment is to help you protect your peace and learn what emotions are telling you to do.
