I know you don’t know me yet, but it is so important to me that you feel like one day you can trust me! I truly believe all substantial therapeutic change is fostered by a strong relationship between therapist and client.
Our greatest ability to change comes from stepping outside of our comfort zone. My goal is to tell you the truth. This is not always what you want to hear! There is great humility in being able to look at yourself in the mirror and face the things you don’t like about yourself; behaviors you participate in that you wish you wouldn’t and cycles you wish to break. Change is hard but so worth it! I challenge you to come on this journey with me in changing what you do, how you feel and how you think about yourself and your life.

I treat people with depression, anxiety disorders, relationship issues, grief and loss issues, and those wanting to understand more about how their childhood years have impacted their personality and functioning.
I've worked in the mental health field since 1980. I look at therapy as a collaborative enterprise between client and therapist, with the aim of improving quality of life. I value a gentle, accepting way of looking at life problems, with an emphasis on understanding, rather than judging or condemning, oneself and others. I value curiosity as a valuable asset in the therapeutic process and I enjoy working with clients who can be curious about themselves and their lives. I work with the client to identify new skills, behaviors, or attitudes that can facilitate desired changes.

I specialize in the respectful and confidential treatment of relationship and sexual concerns.

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.
