Are you burdened by worrisome thoughts, feelings or behaviors? Are you entangled in relationship patterns that trouble you and hold you back? Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems and, in my experience, can lead to personal change and new beginnings. Together we can work to understand how you've come to be who you are, including how you tend to view yourself and relate to others. My style with adults, couples and adolescents is warm, informal, gently challenging, sometimes humorous, and always genuine and engaging.
You will find that I listen actively, gently ask difficult questions, and make every effort to understand and embrace the identities, life stages and unique problems of each of my patients. I try to help couples see and hear their partners more clearly, identify dysfunctional patterns, and communicate more effectively.
Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-esteem, body image or something else, we will work to uncover and address the underlying causes. My skills are enriched by years of experience, advanced training in personality disorders, trauma, couples treatment and psychoanalysis, and teaching and supervising clinicians in training.
