I have been in practice since 1978 working with teens to seniors on a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, family/ relationship problems, harmful behaviors or feelings of emptiness or meaninglessness in their lives. Whether these emotional struggles have been throughout one's life, or the result of a life changing experience such as a divorce, death, illness or the transition of aging, everyone’s journey is unique. I work with each client in the way that best suits their personality and their individual needs.I believe Therapy is the opportunity to explore, learn and heal.

Welcome to my practice, where I've dedicated over 30 years supporting individuals navigating the complexities of gender and sexual identity. Today, our world has expanded to include a beautiful spectrum of gender-diverse experiences. I embrace a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional binaries of Male-to-Female (MtF) and Female-to-Male (FtM) transitions. Whether you resonate with terms like "trans," "non-binary," or use your own unique identifier, I'm here to walk alongside you. Everyone's path is uniquely challenging, and self-acceptance is the compass guiding us forward.

I want you to have a meaningful life, as YOU define it. If you don't know what you want, I hope our work together will help you find that. If you know what you want but keep running into the same obstacles, I hope to help you understand what those obstacles mean and show you how to work with them more effectively.

Adjusting to life transitions and managing stress can seem overwhelming at times. If you experience anxiety, depression, other mental health symptoms; ---or just life changes, you're familiar with the desire to find stability and ways to cope. It could be a change in job, managing stress from work, strain in a relationship with a loved one, recent grief and loss, feelings of worthlessness, feeling on edge, or looking for a tune up after life events. Are you looking for a safe space and support as you work through life stressors? My goal is to help clients who are looking to start a new chapter in their life.

I have been working in the field of psychology for 25 years. My personal nature combined with superior training allows me to help people manage the complicated array of emotions that naturally occur among all of us. My post-doctoral training strengthened my ability to work effectively with children and their families, in addition to helping couples and parents. I will help you understand yourself, your relationships, so that you will be able to manage your feelings as opposed to experiencing that your feelings hold you hostage. It is then that you will feel more alive and more connected to yourself and your surroundings.

Feeling deeply understood can have a profound effect on our health, well being, and ability to be in relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us. My hope for my patients is that we are able to co-create something that allows you to discover the parts of yourself yet unknown—the strength, talents, resilience, as well as the fears, doubts and grief that make up the entirety of who you are. In doing so, I can help you to come into loving acceptance of the more ingrained aspects of your personality and work on modifying thought patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unable to manage the stress of life? Are you challenged by compulsive or addictive behaviors that you cannot seem to stop? Struggling in relationships with others or experiencing shame? Many of us need to reach out for assistance in order to figure out how to better manage stress and enjoy life, rather then feel burdened by it. This is not weakness or lack of self-will. Rather it is a fact of our existence as human beings. We often need help from one another to accomplish certain tasks we cannot do alone.

My approach to therapy is relational and authentic. Research suggests ‘successful’ therapy is less about modality than the therapeutic alliance: I offer proven techniques from psychodynamic, CBT, and somatic therapies to help you cultivate what we all want--good feelings that last. If your history includes neglect/abuse or other forms of trauma, you may learn ways to calm your nervous system, tolerate difficult feeling states, and thrive at work and in healthy relationships.

The majority of my clients are people over 40, many of them gay men, who want to make sense of their life and its transitions: where they come from, where they are and where they are going. They might have specific issues: work, relationships, health challenges (sometimes HIV), aging parents, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. Sometimes there is no specific issue, just a desire to sort out things. Their history might include trauma in childhood or later in life, and multiple losses, including loss to suicide. Depression and anxiety often show up as part of the work.

Do you find yourself weighed down with everyday decisions? Are you emotionally exhausted from worrying about relationships, work, and the world around you? Do you experience physical symptoms of anxiety that limit your ability to enjoy social experiences, pursue hobbies, a dream job, or dating? Living with patterns of anxiety can drain us of our freedoms by limiting our perceptions of ourselves and our abilities. The challenges we face in life can feel overwhelming, leading us to lose trust in ourselves and others. If you are lacking energy, feeling hopeless, and engaging in negative thinking patterns, don't give up!

This includes parents trying to navigate the sometimes difficult task of parenting. Each individual, couple or family that I work with is unique and I value the process of getting to know my clients as the people they truly are. Some issues I treat are interpersonal conflict, trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, addictions (including those in recovery), and difficulties with boundaries and trust.

With care and curiosity, we will begin the process of exploring and healing the often hidden wounds inflicted by our experiences, families and society.

Growing up, few were taught how to get out of their head, cope with anxiety, depression, or anger. There was no class on this. We learned from the people around us and TV to avoid things, drink, yell, lie, shut down, isolate, spend money, and worry. So for most people, the method of dealing with their problems don't quite cut it. That's why it's vital to learn skills to have control over emotions so that emotions don't have control over you. My goal is to provide you these skills, insight, hope and a chance to change in meaningful ways.
