Does it seem as though something has always been missing in your life? Maybe it's something you didn't get at home - validation, understanding, or acceptance. These early wounds run deep, and they sometimes make us feel less worthy as adults. I want you to know that there's not something inherently wrong with you. You just didn't quite get all the tools you needed, and my goal is to provide an environment in which you feel cared for and thus free to explore, feel, and express your deepest truths. I'm a New York straight shooter. I won't be shy about telling you what I see/think, but I will always do so gently and with compassion.
My approach is relational and psychodynamic. I will help you understand that your feelings and behaviors have causes and context, and are therefore understandable, so that you see yourself not as a misfit, but rather as someone responding naturally and as best able to challenging situations. In this vein, you will never have a stronger advocate.
Together, we will look at your experiences not only with clear eyes, but also with compassion and - sometimes - a dose of humor. As you explore, feel, and express your truths in an environment of understanding and acceptance, you will begin to make the changes that will allow you to better weather the ups and downs of life and to feel more joy.

Most of us have wounds that stem from childhood, and they cause us to engage in maladaptive protective strategies with our partners and children. As you begin to get in session what you didn't get at home, you will find yourself better able to listen with empathy rather than defensiveness. This will help you become the loving, sensitive, caring person you - and your loved ones - want.

Relational therapy uses the laboratory of the therapy room to help you experience the kind of relationship you may not have had in your family of origin. In this accepting environment, you will begin to understand the reasons for your own behaviors, in particular the ones that keep you stuck. At this point, you become better able to control them and more tolerant of those moments when you can't.
