Life can be difficult at times. Relationship problems, issues at work, financial or parenting concerns, or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with our life circumstances, all can contribute to depression, anxiety or self-medicating and substance abuse.

My approach is solution oriented. My style is collaborative. Patients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively with clients.

I will partner with you as you go through your life transitions and develop new strategies of coping and adaptation as well as change.

We have all seen portrayals of the stereotypical therapist dispassionately responding to a desperate plea by the client for guidance, opinion or feedback with the question: "How do YOU feel about that?" If you find this approach to therapy irritating, I'm right there with you. During my many years as a therapist, I have found that I usually do not know "the answer", but I almost always have a carefully considered and well explained point of view intended to help you generate thoughtful reflection about yourself, wise decision making, and a useful strategy for coping and/or problem solving.

Whether you are struggling with "typical" issues but cannot seem to resolve them, or you believe you have longstanding difficulties that make it difficult for you to function well and get enough pleasure from your life, I can work with you to better understand your difficulties.

I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have years of experience as a therapist working in a renowned outpatient substance abuse and mental health facility.
