We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely.

As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

I get it. On the outside it looks like you've got it all together, but on the inside it feels like it's falling apart. You take care of everyone else. You make it look easy. You do all the self-care. But it's exhausting. And who takes care of you? While it certainly can be helpful to talk to someone, sometimes when you're feeling overwhelmed, alone, lost, or stuck, you just want to feel better. You just want to fix it. I got you. I will work with you to develop a personalized, strengths-based, and practical plan to help get things back on track fast. If you're ready, let's do this!

I am a relational therapist and a psychoanalyst. I graduated from The General Training Program in Psychoanalysis at the Mass Institute for Psychoanalysis in 2019. After 30+ years of experience, I have found that each patient is unique and requires an individualized plan of treatment. My patients and I work together on creating a plan that addresses both the current problem(s), as well as the longer term goals. I strive to be flexible, open and creative in listening to and addressing patient's concerns. My style is warm and empathic and I incorporate humor into the work whenever possible.

I view psychotherapy as a tool for self-development, self-exploration, greater connectedness, and the opportunitiy to feel deeply understood by a caring professional. I also see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one that helps clients gain greater insight, improve self-esteem, and a sense of well being while making real life-long changes.

Does your mind run in circles? Maybe you feel anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed, but letting something slide fills you with guilt. My clients are high achieving compassionate people, yet still it doesn't feel like enough. Many have experienced traumas or difficult relationships that have left them feeling lost. And like you, they want something to change. You are worth the time and energy of therapy to build healthier relationships, a stronger sense of self, and find relief from anxiety and panic.
