Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.

I believe that nobody should be resigned to a lifetime of suffering from anxiety, unresolved trauma, feeling lost, stuck, disconnected from your partner, or like your emotions are out of control. This strife can keep you from living a fulfilling life. I have seen so many clients become tremendously empowered, less emotionally reactive, and confident in their decision-making once they have a greater understanding of themselves, their histories, and their strengths. I'm passionate about helping you gain clarity, as once these changes are taking place, my clients begin enjoying more satisfying relationships with loved ones.

I strongly believe the power to change is inside each one of us. We have the power to change ourselves, which in turn can help shape our environments, and help us feel better. Change may not come easily, but with some hard work and help, we are able to achieve our fullest potential.

Transition, loss, and transformation may be universal, but everyone experiences these changes differently. Sometimes you may become overwhelmed -- like everything is too much, or you cannot connect with the person you were before. You may have become stuck in a difficult moment or are acting in ways that make things worse. You deserve to lead a life worth living. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore personal challenges and discover areas of personal growth inherent in these painful times. I welcome adolescents, adults, and couples who are looking for support and validation in the work of healing and self-empowerment.

"How we do anything is how we do everything." We move through life in a distinct way that was shaped before we can remember, reinforces itself everyday, and inevitably leads to the same problems despite our best efforts to change. Do anxiety and depression color your everyday experience? Has addiction taken hold of your life? Do you struggle to build satisfying relationships? Through courageous self-exploration, I can help you find compassion for yourself and come to understand why you encounter the same issues again and again. Building this understanding and taking responsibility for your life can empower you to heal and grow.

Therapy is an opportunity for clarity and self-improvement, and I'm here to guide you through this transformative journey. I genuinely love what I do, which makes me the right person to support you. I am your teammate in achieving your personal goals—not your partner's, your parent's, or your friend's goals, but your own. As someone trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer a compassionate and effective approach to healing.

Feeling emotionally adrift or overwhelmed by cultural expectations and identity struggles? Stress can blur your sense of self, making it difficult to find clarity and purpose. Whether you're dealing with workplace stress, family conflict, or navigating life transitions, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I focus on providing support to men seeking to gain control in their lives and are in search of their purpose. The modern man has to face obstacles in life differently than his father and grandfather. Navigating through these roadblocks alone can be extremely difficult and sometimes traumatizing. Divorce/separation, custody issues, midlife/existential crisis, depression, and anxiety are just a few of the problems that the modern man has to face. Just talking about these problems can be difficult since some men may feel alienated by today’s mainstream therapy that does little to prioritize their needs. In my office you will be heard.

I help adults, couples, and teens feel better, less stuck, and more aligned in their relationships, careers, and creative pursuits. My office is a judgment-free place to explore thoughts and feelings, no matter how banal or extreme they may seem. Together we identify patterns and adaptations that no longer serve us. As we become less reactive, we find we have more agency in our lives. We communicate better with others, develop more meaningful relationships, and begin to live the lives we always dreamed of living.

Does it ever seem like you should be doing better than you are? Does it seem like everything in your life looks great on paper- and yet you can't seem to feel good? Believe me, I've been there. It can be so much easier to sort out the external parts of your life than to look inside yourself to figure out what's keeping you frustrated.

DIVORCE is devastating. As a skilled and trained Divorce Mediator, I specialize in assisting difficult and litigious couples through the entire process of their divorce. With 3 decades of experience, I mediate spousal and child support, investments, properties and pension funds, along with establishing a careful and appropriate parenting plan. My firm prepares all of the legal documentation. Mediation is one tenth the cost of Litigation. The stress, anger, physical exhaustion and emotional pain of the court system takes an enormous toll on ones life. Research shows that a litigious divorce in the courts creates significantly more trauma in children.
