It's difficult to admit we are not where we want to be in our lives. It is painful when we are overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or worry. Attending counseling is an act of self-love and courage. You know yourself, and where you long to go. We work together to help you get there. Whether your distress is acute, or subtle, managed, or uncontrolled, it will lead to a lack of mental, physical and spiritual health. Unresolved anger, trauma, neglect, hurt, and family dysfunction will keep you stuck and block you from realizing your full potential.

The therapeutic relationship is crucial to the healing process, whether the problem is with external relationships, traumatic experience, or one's relationship with the self. I use psychoanalytic principles and relational dynamics to explore the internal conflicts and patterns that are at the root of emotional, psychological and relational problems. I am also sensitive to spirituality and the existential problems inherent in being human, and how these affect us all. I have a special interest in the psychology of twins and intersubjective relating in general.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm so stressed out and overwhelmed, I thought being a mom would be so different, that this would be such a magical time and it's not." "I'm feeling so alone and fearful, will I ever feel better or even normal again?" Too fearful of the feelings, that others will judge you or have so much shame or guilt that you can't even start to talk about it. I get it and I understand. I want to be able to help you feel like yourself again.

Therapy can offer hope in the midst of depression, anxiety, trauma, stressful challenges in work, relationships, health, or other arenas of life. It can also help us respond thoughtfully and creatively rather than anxiously or destructively. I am a firm believer in learning to be open towards yourself, your relationships, and life transitions. This is a more powerful motivator than mentally beating yourself up. We'll work together to identify strengths you can use towards making important life changes, and to build coping skills to deal with difficult emotions, trust, relationship issues, and negative thoughts you might have about yourself.

You already have what you need within yourself to experience fulfillment in your life. Unfortunately, there are many internal and external influences that can prevent this resulting in a feeling of falling short of who you should be. This can lead to a sense of being out of balance, feeling stuck and many of the symptoms that bring you to therapy. I believe that the most important task is to make meaning of your life by increasing awareness of your experience resulting in a new understanding and a feeling of peace and of being at home in your skin.

It can feel difficult to decide if now is the right time to start therapy. Ambivalence is normal. Exploring that uncertainty can be a great place to begin. It could mean that you feel stuck, or have a sense that something is not quite right and you are interested in making it better. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are often a result of loss, life transitions, relationship stress, traumas, or identity discovery to name a few. Exploring your experience can help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions and lets you tap into your own wisdom and strengths, making change possible.

I have taken my clinical training combined it with decades of experience and tested and tried my theories by accomplishing what many people would deem impossible feats of endurance. My approaches are more than just "head knowledge." They work for real people in real life. I am convinced that I am not anyone special. If a practice/principle works for me, it will probably work even better for you.
