I work with adults (18+) to help reduce emotional distress, improve and deepen relationships, and explore what is causing feelings of anxiety, depression, or unhappiness. Overwhelming negative emotions are often caused by family conflict, disappointments at work, questions about identity, a breakup or loss, or other significant life events. I specialize in helping people with the transition from school to the workplace, infertility, new parenthood, career/financial pressures, comparison to others, uncertainty about occupation or partner, fears of failure, relationship instability, self-criticism, difficulties with family.

I have expertise with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, work stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
Have you noticed that the same patterns keep showing up in your life? Are you extremely critical of yourself, or secretly worry something might be 'wrong' with you? In the moments when you feel overwhelmed, you deserve an advocate: someone to hold space for your completely unique situation. If you are struggling with feelings of emptiness, dissatisfaction, frustration, or low self-worth, it might be the right time to think about starting therapy. I tend to work well with clients who are self-reflective, curious, and motivated to reconnect with their authentic selves.

I have been in practice since 1990 working with a very diverse group of clients who have a variety of issues: dating and relationships, infidelity and divorce, sexual identity, coming out, self-esteem, gay, lesbian and bisexual issues; relationship conflict and communication, anxiety, loss and depression, guilt, shame and religion, and ACOA issues.
Life can be a struggle. There are likely times when you likely don't know where to turn to sort things out. Perhaps it's a relationship or your work or an issue with family or just a feeling of being completely alone in whatever you are facing. Talking to someone who really listens to you and won't judge you can be very therapeutic. My style is to listen well, ask the questions that you might not have thought of asking, offer you different perspectives about your issues, and help you identify as many options as possible to find resolution and wholeness. I'm here to help you with that process.

  Change occurs in a therapeutic relationship in which you feel understood and supported.
Does this sound familiar?: You've lost touch with the hopes and dreams that used to motivate and inspire you. An important relationship is in trouble: your relationship with your spouse, partner, child, or family is a repeated source of pain. You received feedback that you don’t seem yourself lately or that your behavior is alarming to those who care about you. The responsiveness of a therapist can help us acknowledge the deep urging and longings of our truer selves. Therapy can be a place where we chart a new course for our lives. “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It makes sense that you may be feeling overwhelmed. The competing priorities of family/life/career can have your head spinning.If you feel like your most important relationships are suffering, reaching out to a therapist is the first step. I love to treat families as a whole, allowing for all of the different perspectives to weave together to form a much more complex picture of what is happening. However, I also believe that you can affect change in a relationship system through individual work.

My style is down to earth, and you will find it easy to talk to me and feel understood. My clients are individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, employment or relationship problems, or various life transitions. They may feel anxious, sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or confused. Sometimes they feel overwhelmed by their feelings, relationships, or life circumstances. Managing work or school, family and friendships is often demanding and stressful.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
