We can all find ourselves overwhelmed by the expectations put on us by others and ourselves. Often our past experiences may have us repeating patterns and cycles in our relationships that don’t serve us and it can be easy to try to ignore our problems or stuff our feelings only to find they're coming out sideways. To cope, we may engage in behaviors that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. Often difficult life transitions put us in a state of upheaval, leaving us feeling hopeless, anxious, or depressed. I'd like to help you navigate these challenges.

My particular strengths are dealing with adults with depression, anxiety, panic or fears and relationship issues. I have specialized training and expertise in working with couples (married, dating and divorcing) who are experiencing difficulties and/or dissatisfaction in their relationships. With more than 30 years as a therapist, I bring a depth of experience to help you deal with the conflicts of everyday life. Reaching out to receive help from a therapist is often a very difficult but very important first step. Sometimes, you experience problems that you do not feel you can handle alone. Therapy can help with these issues.

In each of us there is a drive to move towards wholeness. Sometimes we require assistance to unblock that which slows our movement towards balance. Engaging in therapy is a sign of resilience in the face of personal struggles. Courage is walking through your fears to make a difference. By engaging in a strong and empathetic relationship, we will work to uncover the motivations and thoughts that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest. I educate my clients to utilize innovative strategies that capture the extraordinary power that comes from within to facilitate the changes you seek.

You are dissatisfied with your life. Every day is busy. Sleep is hard to come by. You feel edgy and anxious. Relationships aren't what you expected - poor communication, little or no sex... you and your partner are fighting or just not talking. You might have considered an affair (or are already having one, but that isn't really working either). You've thought about talking to someone, but that takes time that you don't really have, and talking to someone you don't know is uncomfortable.

I provide therapy for children/teens and adults who are looking for help and support to successfully handle life's challenges. Because my practice includes working with children, I offer strong support for parents and families who are affected by what a child is experiencing. My approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused, meaning that we will look at the interplay among thoughts, feelings and behaviors to explore how negative thought patterns influence behavior and work to change those patterns to provide emotional relief. I help clients develop real-life skills and coping strategies that can last a lifetime.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in private practice. I have helped many individuals to develop more peaceful lives, working through feelings of depression, anxiety and relationship struggles. I love working with parents, especially because their growth can have such a positive impact on their children. I have a special interest in working with caregivers of special needs children. This passion developed after facing the challenge of parenting my own special needs child. During COVID-19 I will discount rates to make therapy affordable to parents who have medically fragile or behaviorally challenged kids.

I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, an empirically validated therapy based in attachment theory.

Often in an attempt to finish "unfinished" business, we reenact unresolved issues in hopes of a better outcome finding ourselves face to face with the mountain of pain looming large in our past.

If you struggle with addiction, I use emotionally connective and psychodynamic therapy to help you reach abstinence and then recovery, pre or post rehab.
