I believe that the therapist/client relationship is central to making progress. You have to find "the right fit" in order to feel safe. My goal is to help people increase self-awareness; understanding the positive and harmful ways that they relate to others. The potential benefits of therapy include improved mood, decreased anxiety, increased capacity to experience joy in life, improved self-esteem and better relationships. Many people struggle for a long time before deciding it's time to get help. It takes courage to try to change. If you are willing to work in therapy, change is attainable.

I specialize in working with women in young adulthood and midlife who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, difficulties "launching" into adulthood, "family history stuff," existential malaise, the perimenopausal & menopausal transitions, spiritual concerns, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living.

I have been practicing for decades now - and still love my work as much as when I started. I specialize in individual, group, couples, and trauma therapy. Since we are born into groups and are both healed and harmed in groups, I often encourage people - eventually - to consider one - or not. I have long had a special interest in the existential issues we all face, such as how to create a meaningful life in the face of an increasingly isolating culture. My stance is mainly psychodynamic and existential, but I tailor my approach to the best interests of my clients.
