Sometimes, it's hard to walk through the door and ask for help. I've been there myself many times in my life. In today's world, it's also tough to find time to practice self-care.

I work with couples, families, and individuals (teens, kids, and adults). Do you want to experience things like growth, change, and healing? Are you experiencing grief, trauma (PTSD), addiction, anxiety, depression, or psychosis? Do you take medication, but it feels like something is missing or off? Maybe it’s something else. I help by treating the SOURCE of what you are facing, and I help with the day-to-day and the past of how to deal with the source, so you can be your best self. The source is a ‘root cause’ or a ‘seed’ of how it started.

As a psychologist, I specialize in working with bright and motivated men and women in their 30s and 40s who have come to a point of needing help but are wisely insisting on help from the right match. Whatever your presenting problem might be, my experience suggests the right help is someone who can: show they understand your problem; skillfully guide your self-exploration; consult on learning in your edges of growth; and project a course for how your work might proceed. Finding the right help may be the most important task of therapy. If what I've suggested here resonates with you, we might could be a good match together.

I believe in the power of therapy to help people escape the grip of the trauma: I work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, abusive relationships, rape and sexual violence, terrorism, and political violence.
