I provide an opportunity for people to freely express their feelings and thoughts to achieve the changes they desire. I work interactively with clients so they may develop their strengths and achieve their goals. Assisting individuals in becoming at ease with their feelings, however difficult they may be, is an important aspect of the work I do. Feelings can become useful tools for living rather than disturbing impediments. The ubiquitous problems of uncomfortable feelings, harmful behaviors, and the challenges of relationships, careers and parenting are common areas of focus.

I utilize a sensible, individualized approach pulling from various modalities that uncover significant experiences while giving you practical tools that can aid in your self-discovery. I emphasize a non-judgmental, authentic therapeutic relationship where you will feel safe to explore personal needs, take risks, and truly see what you are capable of. I recognize the humanity of all people, normalizing common day experiences and emotions such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.

Many of us turn to therapy because we feel lost, frustrated, or exhausted. Maybe we’re tired of swimming against the currents of anxiety or depression, but can’t find our way out. We may put on a happy face, while pushing aside painful emotions. Or we yearn for more meaningful connections, but past wounds or the residue of trauma make that feel out of reach. Even when we understand our negative patterns, undoing them can feel intimidating. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to helping individuals and couples who are ready to do the deep, transformative work towards change.

Do you want to improve your relationships? Do you feel overly anxious at times or "blue" and don't understand where such feelings are coming from? Perhaps I can help you. Over the last twenty-five years I have worked with many individuals with stressful marital and interpersonal issues. Getting a better grasp of the conflicts and feelings you are experiencing can help you create better coping skills and feel more in control of your life. With a Ph.D. in art history, I have a special interest in working with artists, writers, entrepreneurs and other creative individuals.

Your experience : "I feel angry or frustrated most of the time! I'm easily triggered and overreact. Why do I feel nervous, uncomfortable, shy or 'off' around people? I get invitations, but feel anxious to commit. So I cancel at the last minute! Then beat myself up for doing so! I need to speak - say something when I feel disrespected, but I don't. Then, I build resentments, grudges toward them, and blame myself for not speaking up!? But how and what to say in a way they can hear me? I really don't understand my behavior, my mind or my decisions." This vignette represents anxiety, fear and distorted thinking. Suffering.

I have been treating patients in psychotherapy for over 35 years. Therapy offers people help towards change, change towards the life they want. Yet,for various reasons, this life has not been attainable. My approach is to offer patients a safe, supportive, understanding environment in which they can explore their hopes and fears and the obstacles that get in their way of having a fuller, richer life.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.

You might be reading this because you find yourself at a crossroads and you’re looking to try something new. Maybe the old way of doing things feels unsatisfying but you’re unsure of how to forge a new path for yourself. You might feel empty or disconnected inside or like you don’t truly know who you are or what you want. Maybe you feel like there were parts of your identity that were unwelcome or unwanted and you’re struggling to integrate them into who you are today. Therapy can help us slow down and notice the way our history informs our actions so that we can make choices that feel more authentic to us.

You might be reading this because you feel like you’re only sharing the parts of yourself that make people feel comfortable, or you’re missing the playful, creative parts of yourself in your day to day life and relationships. Maybe somewhere along your journey you learned to conform your uniqueness or dismiss your feelings in order to belong. You stay silent in meetings, constantly judge yourself, and go with the flow even when it means betraying your own needs. All of this overthinking takes up energy and, worse, can leave you feeling small, alone, anxious, and like you're always hiding something. You deserve to feel fully seen.
