I bring to my private practice 42 years of experience and training in couple dynamics, attachment, sexuality and family systems. When couples first contact me, they have often been struggling with strained, stuck and reactive relationship patterns for a long time. They have hurt one another by attempting various ineffective solutions such as fighting-to-win, resentful compliance, disengagement, dulled sexual desire, infidelities, freezing in hopelessness. These are all an attempt to manage the anxiety and discomfort often inherent in long-term relationship challenges. Naturally, there is discouragement and worry.

I work with individuals and couples who are trying to understand both their inner psychological issues and their responses to complex and stressful outer lives. I listen for the strengths each person has for meeting challenges, and listen also for the ways clients create losses for themselves. Within a warm, caring, reliable working relationship clients have the opportunity to more deeply value themselves and to grow interpersonally.

My “typical client” does not fit into a neat box. I've worked with individuals confronting their mortality after a terminal diagnosis, traders in the stock market, company founders, individuals interested in using psychedelics for personal growth and healing, clients with CPTSD, anxiety, and depression, and many who simply feel stuck. The real common denominator amongst the clients who I am so lucky to support is a desire to create change through meaningful inner work.

The decision to begin psychotherapy can come about for a variety of reasons. This may be your first time in therapy or it’s just the right time to get a fresh perspective. You may be struggling with feelings and experiences that are hard to make sense of or you may feel stuck, like you’ve tried everything, and nothing is working. What you do know is that it's getting to be more difficult to stay motivated and enjoy the things that you love. Psychotherapy can help to relieve these stressors and instead help you find ways to thrive.
