Many people find me because something they are doing has become larger than they want it to be and is no longer working. It could be technology use (my special interest), substance use, pornography, working, or gambling, among many other things. Often these behaviors show up when people are experiencing stress, interpersonal conflict, insomnia, sadness, anxiety, existential crises, self-doubt, self-criticism, or the pain of high self-expectations, and so our work focuses upon these topics as well. I work with teenagers and adults in individual therapy, including some joint family or couple sessions as needed to support loved ones.

Having been in practice as a psychologist for more than 30 years, I am convinced that change and growth take place within the safety and warmth of a truly understanding, and collaborative relationship. It has been a privilege to do this work and I am grateful for the opportunity to bear witness and contribute to my patients' lives. Our journeys are often complicated and demanding with places along the way that can be overwhelming, painful and confusing. Awareness and willingness to seek help when you are at an impasse is perhaps the most important step in the process of psychotherapy.

Welcome to my profile! To better get to know me, here’s a little about me and my practice. My approach is client centered, so making sure that the space is supportive, collaborative, and holistic is important when building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I like to use strength-based approaches which include learning problem solving skills, understanding current unhealthy coping while replacing them with healthy manageable skills, and using grounding techniques to help center us when we are under stress. I work with individuals with various identities and backgrounds who are having interpersonal, and intrapersonal issues;

I use my relationship with each person as a tool to help us identify and understand the troublesome patterns.
As a psychologist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I enjoy helping people to appreciate how the patterns that have brought them to my office were once creative solutions to earlier obstacles in meeting their emotional needs. These patterns eventually became emotional habits that involve negative ways of seeing themselves and others, and of relating. Since these problematic patterns developed in the context of relationships, I believe that supportive, containing relationships are crucial in changing them.

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.
