Do you feel anxious about everything and nothing in particular? Do your emotions overwhelm you? Do you give tons but don’t get much in relationships? It's hard to settle your mind. You spend a lot of time trying to figure out what’s wrong, but you just can't. You work hard to do everything well and on your own because you don’t want to burden anyone. But, you’re exhausted. The truth is that you feel lost & alone, and the emotional load has become too much to carry all on your own.

Is your relationship with food complicated and distracting, keeping you from your friends and family and taking over your life? Perhaps you are so controlled by thoughts about food and body image that you are isolating, overexercising, and binge eating. Perhaps you have lost your focus, listening to all the noise in your head, overthinking, self-critical, comparing yourself to others, constantly seeking an elusive standard of perfection. Change is possible. I can help you find peace and possibility.

After working with people in psychotherapy for 42 years I understand that every new person who comes to see me is in emotional crisis, usually frightened, and has mixed feelings about seeking help. I experience every person as unique; initially, it is critical for people to know that they are working with someone who is non-judgmental and worthy of their trust. I still believe that the essence of good therapy is empathy, tactful directness and a collaborative approach that helps people make and internalize changes that will improve their relationships and impart a greater sense of well-being.
