My goal is to provide a safe and supportive relationship which invites you to honestly explore any issues you are facing. We will discuss current problems, look at any connections to your personal and family history, as well as talk about what is working for you and ways to build on that. My ultimate goal is for positive change in the present, whatever that looks like for you. I encourage the use of outside resources such as workshops, groups, classes, 12-step programs, yoga and mindfulness practices as well as religious involvement as part of the healing process.

Whether you feel unfulfilled in your career, relationships, or use substances, food, or sex to cope with uncomfortable feelings, therapy can assist you in gaining valuable insights and facilitate lasting change. If you are in a relationship that is in distress, therapy can greatly improve your connection. I help couples become open, mutually attuned and responsive to each other in order to re-establish their emotional connection. With this emotional connection restored, couples can heal a distressed relationship, revitalize a tired one, and possibly rescue one gone awry.

And because I wholeheartedly believe that the client-therapist relationship is crucial to the healing process, I won’t take on a client if we are not the best match and I am happy to provide suggestions of colleagues.
As a natural empath and deep thinker, I am highly attuned and skilled at detecting and drawing insights from unconscious material that lie beneath a person’s struggles and destructive patterns. I hold space for my clients to embrace all the different parts of their complex identity and unique life path. Ultimately, I find that deep questions are best understood in a safe and open environment, not necessarily as direct problems to solve. Therefore, I work to provide a warm and nonjudgmental space that facilitates curiosity and honest self-reflection.

Your path may have become difficult to navigate or there may be things that you are challenged with in your life. We can all benefit from help but asking for help sometimes can be difficult. Together we can work to uncover and discover a deeper, more aware and authentic self. There are solutions to the problems or challenges you are facing. As a therapist, I have several years experience working with individuals and family members affected by addictive patterns, substance use and abuse, depression, anxiety and trauma. I also have experience working with couples or individuals dealing with various marital/relationship challenges.

I work with the following problems: anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, fears, traumas, relationship issues, self-doubt, social anxiety, dependency on people's opinions and judgments, lack of identity and purpose, anger, guilt, codependency, lack of future goals and motivation, negative thoughts and attitudes, stress, procrastination, and many more.
I practice a unique combination of counseling and hypnotherapy. My therapy is based on the notion that every person has the potential to be complete, happy and fulfilled. My goal is to help my clients realize this potential. In our therapy work we explore emotional, mental and personal levels: Emotional (reprocessing fears, traumas; old patterns); Mental (learning new behaviors, emotional skills); Personal (setting goals/purpose; building confidence, trust). My clients have an active role in their healing process. During the sessions I introduce new tools and strategies. In between the sessions clients apply and practice them.

Over the last 27 years as a clinical psychologist, I have helped many individuals, couples, and families. Individual clients often enter therapy feeling disconnected and lost. They have reached a point where the usual ways of coping are not working and are open to trying something new. Couples often come to see me feeling exhausted, alienated, and hopeless about their relationship. They wonder whether their relationship can recover and heal. My work with families includes addressing the profound sense of detachment between parents and teenagers, particularly when compounded by the presence of teen depression.

The process of finding a therapist can often be a daunting first step, and it can be difficult to know who to trust and who can help. A good fit with a therapist includes a feeling of safety and a belief that your therapist has the ability to help you. Clients who find themselves at home in my practice are people who experience chronic depression or anxiety, individuals with a history of family wounding, individuals with relationship or identity issues, couples with difficulty resolving arguments, teens in crisis, and those feeling stuck or in transition.
