I specialize in helping individuals and couples to gain the insight to help break through the barriers of sadness, frustration, anxiety and fear. My work involves helping clients discover personal insights about why they feel the way they do in their personal and relationship patterns. I approach each client's needs and issues with respect and empathy in an objective, non-judgmental manner. We all have patterns of thoughts and behaviors that have helped us survive emotionally. It is my goal to help clients understand themselves better and resolve their problems to find the peace and happiness in their lives that they deserve.

WHAT WILL THERAPY BE LIKE? I strive to create an environment that is confidential and nonjudgmental. The therapy hour is a time and place where you can feel safe enough to do important work. I also believe that therapy can be enjoyable and life-affirming, even at times a FUN experience. WHAT CAN THERAPY ACCOMPLISH FOR ME? Engaging in psychotherapy provides the opportunity for a new start, an escape from ruminating, from feelings of helplessness and indecision. I will work with you to see and experience your situation in a new way - and take action to make important changes.

When hot girl summer turns into summertime sadness, it can be really rough. I’m here to offer support. I specialize in working with issues surrounding relationships and sexuality, like persistently feeling as though you’re failing in dating, relationships or situationships, ending up with the wrong people (and wondering if the right one/ones even exist,) experiencing dissatisfaction, discomfort and/or anxiety surrounding sex or sexual patterns, and/or questioning whether your current sexual orientation truly reflects your interests. I also work with sexual trauma, when its present.

Beginning therapy can be scary and intimidating, but also hopeful. Discussing your wishes and uncertainties in session can promote clarity and lead to positive changes in thinking and behavior that are necessary to improve circumstances and relationships. Action is required for positive life changes to occur. It isn't always easy figuring out what action to take or what changes to make. Therapy is a safe place to explore these thoughts and feelings. Small shifts can lead to large improvements in mood and relationships. Please reach out with questions or to schedule an initial consultation.

I have had many years of gratifying experience in deeply engaging with the people I work with, and training and supervising doctoral students and therapists (many on this site have been my students!). Discovering what has been causing personal distress, worry, loneliness, or disappointment is what transforms life. These underlying stresses can cause problems with relationship, career, mood, or just general feelings of dissatisfaction. The personal growth that blooms in the therapy opens doors inside and out, and creates the rich opportunities and experiences we all want in life.

Welcome! I've been in practice since 1990, specializing in helping people who've been victims of trauma (sexual, emotional or physical abuse, assault, harassment, as well as traumatic injuries, illnesses, accidents, disasters or climate distress), in child or adulthood. I also work with people having difficulties with major life transitions, such as moving away to college or a new city; divorce or bereavement; emotional challenges in changing careers or finishing training programs; or eating/body image. Helping people break destructive or unhappy relationship patterns is another area of my work.

We are each born with the capacity to live a full, joyous and productive life. Through the natural events of our less than perfect world, this capacity is diminished. In some way we know that this is possible and at the same time realize that we are limited. The area of limitation may be in our relationship to ourselves - somehow being unable to experience compassion or appreciation for our own beings. These limitations create pain and unnecessary suffering. Just as we have the capacity for living full and productive lives, I believe that we all have the capacity for healing.
