I specialize in working with clients who have ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD. I collaborate in developing goals of treatment and help clients identify, understand and address both current struggles and the childhood roots of these struggles. This approach is especially helpful to clients who had difficult, invalidating or traumatic childhoods. I help clients: to be compassionate with themselves, to honor yet process difficult emotions, and to change behaviors. I work best with clients: who want self understanding, who appreciate a thoughtful, safe space, and, who are willing to do the work to make these changes happen.

The road to finding peace of mind and a clear vision for one's life can be difficult to navigate. Acknowledging that you desire change is often the first step towards clarity. Many then find that they need further guidance, which is what has likely brought you here. I believe it is important for my clients to recognize and then use their strengths, past successes, supportive relationships (including the therapeutic one) and own hopes to obtain whatever goal they set forth. Moving forward I hope to build a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship which we can use toward a self-fulfilling and clear future.

A client recently told me,"You have this amazing ability to listen and give me support in such a caring way that I always leave with a positive attitude. I have learned so much about myself." Finding a good therapist on the Internet can be challenging. The process may feel overwhelming or arbitrary. The most important indicator of success in therapy is the connection you will build with your therapist. My objective is to help you find answers, make decisions, and unload burdens in a way that feels comfortable for you. My clients routinely report improved mood and greater insight.

I believe that parents and children both want what is best, although they differ in what that looks like. Both benefit from a new perspective on their actions and motivations so that they can achieve greater understanding and compromise. My particular strength is connecting with someone's experience and perspective. I believe that in moments of pain and suffering we all need to feel that we are not alone and that things can be different. My role as their therapist is to be a companion wherever they take me, while honoring the very real obligations that they answer to.

People come to see me when they feel stuck and have had enough. I help parents help their children; help couples and families get closer and happier; and in general help people successfully resolve issues such as: stress, anxiety, adjustment to new life circumstances (relocation, family changes), relationship issues (divorce, extra-marital affairs, conflict), and dealing with difficult family members. Typical 50 minute sessions don't work for everyone, so I offer longer sessions when appropriate (up to 4 hours), where we use experiential techniques (meditation, sound, movement, Ketamine) to go deeper and facilitate transformation.

Personal life transitions, relationship challenges, and school or career junctures present ideal opportunities to engage a therapist. By developing self-awareness and committing to improving outcomes in one's work and personal life, individuals often achieve far more than they'd previously imagined. As a psychologist and coach, I integrate the use of inquiry, insight, creative problem-solving, thoughtful self-reflection, hands-on "homework" assignments, and honest conversation. I will fully engage with you as a thought partner, a sounding board, and a confidential resource to help you alleviate stress and reach your potential.

People seek out therapy for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s to find ways to manage the worry of a cancer diagnosis or other acute/chronic illness. For others, it’s to help cope with the grief of losing someone they love. Some are looking for support around depression and anxiety. Others hope to explore strategies to manage the daily stress they experience - at home and/or at work. At times, we all need some extra support. Together, we will help you discover more about yourself and your strengths, better understand your relationships and build tools and strategies to help you navigate the challenges in your life.
