Using a collaborative, practical approach, I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, couple problems, parenting concerns (early childhood and adolescence), ACOA issues and the more general impact of childhood stressors on adult development.
Throughout almost 35 years as a clinical psychologist, I've been impressed that the emotional suffering affecting us all, at times, has such universal causes. Insecurities and shame connected to childhood experiences over which we've had no control can take root, damaging self-esteem and emerging in symptoms of depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior patterns. Even without overwhelming childhood stressors, feelings of inadequacy, and once self-protective, now limiting "chains" of feeling/thinking/reacting can interfere with realizing dreams, weathering losses and meeting new life challenges in the areas of love and work.

I also have interests in depression, anxiety, parenting, postpartum depression/anxiety, and spiritual issues.
As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth and wits into sessions with my patients. My role is to help people identify patterns that are causing trouble or distress. This process involves not only trying to understand the "root" of the problem, but also looking for ways in which individuals might get stuck in problematic ways of relating to others or thinking about themselves. This can be hard work, but it has the potential to be very rewarding. In my experience, people who engage in therapy often find that old patterns can change, and new choices are able to emerge in their lives.

I have experienced great success with couples and individuals to provide relief from fighting, improving partnering and parenting skills, addressing intimacy/communication problems, and provide solution oriented therapy with adults.
Sometimes things in your life may feel too hard to handle on your own. Too often people don't feel seen or understood by others. If you are tired of working with a therapist who just sits and says "uh uh", if you feel stuck, unable to heal , repair, and navigate the path to make better choices and confront what you have avoided, then my approach which has been highly successful for my clients can help you move forward to feel healthier and happier.. Whether long standing issues or reactions to recent stressors, my role is that you feel welcomed, safe, supported and start building new strategies from our first visit.

Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and insecure? Has your relationship been wounded or lost its spark? Are you feeling dissatisfied or stuck with some aspect of your life and not sure how to make a shift? Has becoming or being a parent turned your world upside down? Life is full of transitions and stressors and it’s hard to stay in tune with ourselves, our partners, and our family members as we grow, change, and deal with stress. Sometimes we all need a safe space to process, reconnect, and heal – to speak our pain, communicate what we need, and be supported as we tap back into love and connection.
