Therapy for individuals, couples, or families should be a safe space to explore personal needs and goals. Using a broad lens we consider all of the factors and systems as we work collaboratively and with transparency towards strengthening your sense of yourself and the relationships that are impacting you. We consider cycles of interaction as well as vulnerabilities and survival strategies and areas where you may be getting stuck in long repetitive cycles. Together we identify new strategies and strengths to create new experiences. Therapy can be a strengthening journey of opportunity and growth.

My training has been thorough, with exposure to many theories and styles of treatment. Years of teaching and supervising doctoral students have expanded my knowledge base. The most important factor influencing how I work with individuals, however, involves what they personally want to accomplish in therapy. I mainly determine this through collaborative discussion: I view psychotherapy as a partnership, and I am relatively active and open.

Reading through these profiles can feel daunting. You need an able, expert guide worthy of your own commitment to improve your life. Good therapy gives causative insight, but GREAT therapy supports YOUR vision of creating a "life worth living" by actively supporting the change needed to realize goals. My work experience includes career and relationships, trauma and mood disorders related to pregnancy, childbirth, health issues, grief and loss (including child and fetal loss). I also work with the human animal bond and support the grief associated with loss of companion animals.

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

As women, oftentimes life demands a huge amount of our energy and mental capacity. In order to keep up, we tend to neglect ourselves or our relationships. When this happens we can begin to feel unbalanced. This constant demand can lead to overwhelming feelings of worry or sadness. We may worry about our future, the people in our lives, or things we need to get done. Additionally, at times we might feel as though we are being tested or triggered by unresolved issues or people from our past. This along with other challenges is bound to leave us feeling completely drained and out of balance.

I have a particular interest in helping people with personality and relationship problems. In therapy I try to create an environment where patients will feel safe sharing and exploring all their thoughts and feelings about themselves, so that we can trace how these affect their daily experiences. To do this we may also examine the person's moment to moment experience in therapy. Understanding the interactions between internal assumptions on the one hand, and feelings and behavior, on the other,leads to a more stable sense of self and the possibility of different choices.
