I strongly believe that developing a supportive & collaborative relationship with my clients is the basis for the positive change achieved.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. My speciality is CBT for Anxiety & Depression while also using psychodynamic approaches to help understand how our past informs our present experiences. The basis of CBT is to become aware of how our thinking & belief systems can dictate our behavior, which can get in the way of our goals & creating meaningful relationships. I will begin to teach you new coping skills to help you change certain behaviors. Over time & with repetition the hope is that your behavior will begin to shift, as you move closer to attaining your goals & dreams. I look forward to going on this journey with you!

People come to therapy for different reasons. You may feel frustrated that you'll never find the right relationship, feel overwhelmed with anxiety or feel like you can't stop beating yourself up for past mistakes. You may be constantly comparing yourself to other people and feel like everyone else has things more figured out than you. You may feel disconnected and unhappy, but just not exactly sure why or what to do about it. Therapy is a way to deepen understanding and move towards healing, self-acceptance and a greater sense of well-being.

Whether it is a break up, a divorce, a job loss, a death of a loved one, you have come to the right place. Seeking therapy and gaining self awareness can be life changing. Whether it is a current life crisis or the desire to change old ugly repetitive patterns, my style is nurturing, directive and fun. I work with you as a team getting to the core of the problem, and to help you move forward, hopefully with a fresh and new perspective.

I specialize in relationship dynamics & all things related to the journey of motherhood; fertility, IVF, miscarriage, adoption, postpartum, & traumatic birth.
Meaningful change happens when we feel supported, confident, & ready. My process helps people clearly define what they really want in their lives & then supports them on that journey. Old limiting beliefs, often born out of trauma, can keep us stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. Together we will build a safe relationship so you can explore what no longer serves you. Doing this in a safe relationship allows your brain to create new neuropathways & your body to release trauma. Through mindfulness, body awareness, & compassionate analysis we will deepen the mind-body connection so you can find the inner space you need to make real change.

The therapeutic process is a collaborative journey with the potential for transformation, heightened self-awareness, and a sense of integrated wholeness. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of the healing process, which is why finding a therapist who is the right fit is essential. In my practice, I integrate elements of Gestalt therapy, IFS, EMDR, and somatic approaches to explore patterns, uncover their origins, and address accompanying emotions. I engage my clients through warmth, open-mindedness, direct communication, and, when fitting, humor.

I am a clinical psychologist with thirty years of experience in psychotherapy. I work with people struggling with those emotional and relationship problems, including depression, anxiety, intimacy and commitment issues, and the many subtle forms of self-defeating behavior that may limit their success and happiness. Sometimes these problems can be satisfactorily dealt with in a short time. Often they cannot. I like to work with people in both categories; but I most enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with those who must choose the longer path in search of a better solution, and of deeper self-knowledge.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
