I view myself as a co-pilot. I am a co-facilitator on the client's journey of self-exploration, insight, growth and change. It is important to build the foundation of a safe therapuetic relationship in which a client has the ability to heal old wounds, re-discover their strengths, awaken passions, spark their creativity, and re-awaken joy. A mutually agreed upon treatment plan will be created to meet the clients unique needs. While engaging in psychotherapy it is common to address a variety emotions. Patience, compassion, self-care and healthy boundaries assist the client in navigating through these difficult emotions.

I understand that everyone is different and each person has a unique set of circumstances for incorporating therapy into their life. There is a tremendous amount of pressure in today’s world and making time for mental health is more important than ever to ensure life is not just lived, but enjoyed. My goal is to bring a sense of calmness and hope to help my clients realize they are not alone and guide them down a path where they can overcome their fears, addictions, anxiety and depression to move forward with confidence and strength.

Does it seem like everyone else got the manual on life except for you? Perhaps you are contemplating a major life change like divorce or a career change. Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected you may feel like everything is falling apart. There is a solution. If you have willingness and an open-mind, I can help you see things differently so that you get "unstuck," feel hopeful and confident.

We all experience emotional and physical difficulties from time to time. Often we are able to deal with these life experiences ourselves. Sometimes, however, it is not possible for us to resolve these challenges alone. In these situations professional help is appropriate. Until fifty years ago anyone experiencing psychological and/or physical stress was treated individually. Family therapy grew out of a simple but profound idea: People in crisis can often be best understood and treated within their own famiies. As a certified family therapist, as well as a certified psychoanalyst, I have the education necessary to see both famiies and individuals.

If you’ve ever tried to do all you could to repair or calm your relationship with yourself, partners, family, or others, but still end up feeling confused, hurt, guilty, and/or hopeless, you are not alone. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to explore who you are and build a healthy, meaningful relationship.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been in private practice since 2001. My practice is geared toward working with adolescents and adults in individual, couples, and family settings with a range of issues. My style of therapy is very interactive and dynamic, as well as insight oriented. I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as helping to create the greatest change. Clients describe me as genuine, empathic, and easy to connect with. I believe in setting mutual goals with my clients as well as maintaining a long term relationship with them.

I have spent most of my life as a spiritual guide, teacher and psychotherapist. I have worked in Ireland, England, Wales and Nigeria over the past four decades. I have been very fortunate to have great teachers but my best teachers are those people that I have been most privileged to companion through their life challenges. What I am learning from all of my own life experiences is that each moment is filled with magnificence of the Divine and learning to attune to these great unfolding Divine moments is my continued life ambition.

My primarily focus is on helping people who are experiencing problems with insomnia and other sleep disorders. If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and feel sleepy throughout the day give me a call or send me an email. Together we can beat this. Remote telehealth is available.

I am highly compassionate and enjoy using humor to make my office and our time together relaxed and comfortable.

Whether your present situation involves long standing internal issues, current life situations, or a combination of both, I can help you identify the sources of your discomfort. I often find that there is a parallel component of shame, self rebuking that comes with this discomfort. If so, it becomes a goal between me and the client to help lift this burden. Helping to develop an improved perspective, can in and of itself be quite reassuring. Perhaps surprising, humor often finds it's way into our sessions. I find that there is much relief to be had through shared laughter and the commonality of human experiences.

I have been in Private Practice for many years and pride myself on keeping up to date on learning some of the most contemporary therapeutic approaches available today.

These approaches are extremely effective in dealing with or overcoming anxiety, depression, stress, conflicts, trauma, performance issues, and stress-intensified physical problems.

Most of my clients, both individuals and couples, come to me seeking to have their perspectives understood, so they can better understand themselves and their relationships. As this occurs, they are able to significantly improve the quality of their lives. I seek to create an atmosphere that promotes respect, understanding, responsibility, compassion, and creativity as people strive to live their lives consciously in ways that help them achieve the goals most important to them. To this end, I strive to have the utmost respect for the uniqueness of every individual and couple that I treat.
