I have had the opportunity to work with different communities and I have learned a lot from my clients. My approach to psychotherapy is to help my clients understand their conflicts by getting at the roots of their wounds, so they are able to treat themselves with self-compassion and healing. The goal of therapy is not only to unburden the pain one carries but also to help transform the inner negative beliefs and cultivate radical self-love. My style is open, curious, and humorous.

I have found hypnosis to be very helpful in successfully treating insomnia, weight loss, smoking cessation, test anxiety, chronic and injury-related pain, relaxation and anxiety reduction (fear of flying).
I love my work: helping individuals and couples solve problems, grow and flourish. We grow by learning mastery; to me this means being competent in dealing with yourself and the outside world. I help clients do this by gaining self-knowledge and learning the skills necessary to be empowered to reach their goals and improve their most important relationships. Since starting my practice in 1983 I have been dedicated to helping clients achieve mastery. I take a very active role, and do "what works" for each client, using a variety of treatment approaches.

Successful therapy begins with a genuine dialogue between you as a person and me as your therapist. The gentle art of change means discussing the context of your life where you are at now and how you got there (including how you developed and maintain the values you live by). Your values provide the "richness" to living. Most of all, psychotherapy means understanding what you've already tried, what has worked and yes what gets in the way of you living a better life.

You might be the one everyone turns to—at work, at home, in crisis—yet inside, you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’ve always been “the sensitive one,” or your mind never seems to turn off. You plan, analyze, and push through, but still end the day feeling anxious, depleted, or like you’re falling short. You might even know what you should do to feel better, but actually finding peace feels out of reach. Whether you’re a parent, healthcare worker, or someone moving through a major life shift, you deserve a space dedicated to you where you can slow down, untangle it all, and finally feel like yourself again.
