I give you immediate tools to initiate your becoming more in charge of yourself and your life. Together we can help resolve your trauma, relationship issues, fear, depression, anxiety, life disruptions, etc. By using both traditional (cognitive-behavioral, Jungian shadow work, body focusing, EMDR, IFS, communication training, etc.) and/or non traditional tools (yoga breathing, mindfulness, spiritual centering exercises, brainspotting, etc ) in a safe, calm, supportive environment, you can release what is creating disturbance, pain, anger, limitation, relationship conflict, despair to reach a new level of being and relating.

Therapy is a process of self discovery that helps you understand yourself and resolve difficulties in relationships with others. I have been working with adults, teenagers, families and couples for over 30 years. I treat depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I work with many couples. I see people who have been neglected and abused emotionally. I work deeply and personally with each person/couple to understand their fears and pain. I do my work with great involvement. I am very easy to talk to. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that enhances positive change and increased self-esteem.

I have seen that nothing is set in stone, and that solutions are within reach when looking for relief from anxiety, self doubt, depression and a general sense of stress and overwhelm. I help you to both pay attention to the inner strengths that you already possess, as well as to become aware of any thought & behavior patterns that might be blocking the very changes you want in yourself and/or in your relationships. Working together, we can discover and build a more effective skill set for making those changes so you feel calmer, more capable, and more content.

With more than 40 years spent as a therapist, and with my specialized somatic training, I help my clients use their body, mind and heart to get grounded, discharge old trauma and connect to their authentic selves. The more any of us can live with access to our full, unimpeded life force, the greater the gift to ourselves and the world.

With over twenty years experience in LGBTQ counseling, research, and teaching, I have a deep understanding of our community. Among LGBTQ individuals anxiety and depression may involve feelings of emptiness, relationship problems, interpersonal sensitivity, or addictions. The roots of these struggles can vary, but it helps to have a therapist who grasps the alienating impact of growing up in a world that disavows the core of who we are. I will help you address these issues, and others, through a deeper approach that can feel energizing, challenging, and even liberating.

I've worked with adults who have ADHD for 15 years, and I've been one for my entire life. I believe that ADHD is a superpower, and that neurodivergent adults are some of the most creative, interesting, empathic, and thoughtful people in the world. But navigating our society with a brain that isn't built for it can be fraught, and can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. I help clients to untangle this web, and build a life that works with their brain, rather than trying to squish their fabulous brains into a pre-established box.

I work with adolescents, adults and couples, focusing on issues of anxiety, depression, loss, and artistic struggles.
When we live a life of reflection, we open ourselves to the rich depths of life's possibilities. We move away from the needless suffering of unresolved pain. I help my clients examine the intricacies of their minds and relationships in a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I help them make sense of their lives and their histories to understand how they impact their current challenges. Together we build a refuge where strengths are discovered and life becomes more joyful. My training is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, however, my style always depends on the needs of my clients and the relationship we create.

I use humor, empathy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people struggling with issues ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma, co-dependency and sex & love addiction / compulsivity.
I help individuals and couples clarify and strengthen their relationship goals. Learning how to build more satisfying relationships leads to lasting change and empowerment. Old, less helpful ways of thinking are replaced with new, more realistic ideas of self-acceptance and how to rely on others. The result is a clearer picture of one's strengths, limitations, and belonging in the world.

Play, with neither a plan or purpose, is the best precondition -- Marie-Louise von Franz. Everyone has a story and sometimes we become stuck in our story because we want to move in a direction that may be different than what is expected. Being stuck may manifest with symptoms of anxiety, depression or other disorders. My approach is to encounter these symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment. The role of therapy is to provide understanding and an empathetic ear with a belief that the activity of therapy will provide insight and healing.
