I provide psychotherapy to adults and adolescents addressing a broad range of concerns, including depression and anxiety; relationship issues; identity concerns; family issues; and life transitions.
We all experience challenging times when we don’t feel like ourselves. We may feel stuck, lost, or experience the same unsatisfying relationships. Engaging in therapy, with the right therapist, can help. Within a supportive and collaborative relationship, I actively work with my clients to better understand themselves and their relationships; to acquire healthy coping strategies; and to achieve an enhanced sense of well-being. I am flexible, tailoring the therapy according to the needs of each client. I bring an integrative approach to psychotherapy that includes insight-oriented work, practical interventions, and cognitive/behavioral techniques, all within a nurturing relationship.

I believe that an authentic and intimate therapeutic relationship can help clients facilitate the growth that they would like to observe in themselves.
If you’re looking for therapy, there is a possibility that you've been experiencing the pain and challenges that come with being human – likely more than the joy and fulfillment that also come with life experiences. Together, we'll work on understanding your pain and challenges so that we can identify solutions and ultimately help you find relief. As your therapist, I will help you engage in curiosity over the multidimensional nature of your experiences – including exploration of issues related to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and class. You may find exploration of these issues integral to understanding your experiences.

Psychotherapy can be many things: from understanding and gaining control of a major emotional or substance abuse problem, to improving a partner or family relationship, to knowing yourself better. Our “mental health” like our physical health can benefit greatly from a skilled helper to address a sudden major problem or provide long-term support to be stronger and achieve our potential. Good individual, couple/family or group therapy can address the kind of work you need for where you are in life, whether you are facing a major crisis or looking for the insight and support you need to be who you can truly be.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
