I'm glad your curiosity about finding a therapist has led you here. My experience in mental health work includes Gestalt, CBT, psycho-dynamic, humanistic, client-centered, mindfulness based and self-acceptance training. Please call with specific questions. We may be a good fit if you are open to exploring your inner-space, learning new ways of thinking and new coping strategies, and connecting with your own personal wisdom while addressing life's inevitable challenges. I've been doing psychotherapy for 30 years and, in addition to seeing my private clients, I have supervised MFT and MSW interns in clinic settings.

All emotions have a job - to bring something to our attention, to give us information about our world, sometimes to give us the physical energy to take action. I see my role as a therapist would be to help you better understand yourself, and when it fits to teach you tools and skills so that you can be effective in your life. I can be a guide and an ally through many challenges - these include depression and anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, caregiving, life-threatening illnesses, grief and loss. Whatever emotion or situation led you to seek help, you can use it to heal your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping individuals, youth, and families utilize their own strengths to resolve difficult issues, and improve their relationships. Parenting, though rewarding, may still be one of the most difficult and challenging aspects of a person's life. It's easy to feel overwhelmed. I can provide support and guidance in order to address specific issues, and explore the conflicts and challenges causing you to seek help. I provide psychological treatment and evaluations in a nonjudgemental, safe environment.

I am interested in your unique needs and helping you in the most indivualized way possible. I want to help you identify and reach your therapeutic goals, and put an end to self-sabatoging thoughts and behaviors. While therapy can often be hard work, it's worth it to feel better in your relationships with yourself and others. Beginning therapy can feel like a scary step and I know how important the therapist-client relationship can be in working through issues together. Please note: I am not an in-network provider with any insurance companies.

Are you feeling irritated or depressed? Do you feel unappreciated? Are you anxious in social situations? Is it time to make positive changes in your life? Healing begins when you acknowledge that feelings of pain, isolation or fear are too much to carry alone. The journey starts by speaking the truth about what you want from life. Allowing yourself the opportunity to experience clarity and understanding is a gift no one can take away. I offer you the opportunity to explore and identify goals for treatment by providing a space where honesty, openness and a sense of humor allow healing to begin.

I'm a clinical psychologist practicing with those who suffer from loneliness, anxiety, obsessions, trauma, anger, aloofness, issues of identity and intimacy, difficult life circumstances, and many other problems. While I greatly value knowledge about psychopathology, I find a strictly diagnosis-based approach to be limiting. Instead, we might be curious together about the many aspects of life that bear on your particular suffering. This broad exploration and discovery can only happen in a safe and confidential relationship. I feel so privileged when someone chooses to reveal themselves to me on these deeply personal levels.
