As a psychotherapist, I listen carefully and work collaboratively with each client in forming a safe and accepting relationship. This relationship provides the basis for exploration, problem solving, healing and growth. I have an interactive style which incorporates warmth, humor, authenticity and direct feedback as I help my clients work through areas in which they feel stuck, unhappy or overwhelmed. These areas may include marital and other relationship difficulties, anxiety around life transitions, concerns about parenting or caring for aging parents, coping with illness, and dealing with breakups along with many others.

I specialize in helping people with mood and trauma-related difficulties, work and life transitions, issues around identity and loss, as well as relationship stresses.
I believe that in a good psychotherapy a patient feels known and accepted, and will find relief and lasting change from insights and cumulative, affirming choices. My goal with a patient is to form a helpful and transformative therapeutic relationship. You may feel something important is missing in your life, or there may be something specific with which you are struggling. I work with teens and adults of all ages, as well as couples. I hope to assist you to gain a clearer sense of your needs as well as the confidence to sit with uncertainty and important feelings, and such satisfaction as has been elusive.

We often become stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns or habits, which can be the result of difficult past experiences or phase of life stressors. However, I believe everyone has the ability to achieve desired change. The client-worker relationship is important to me, and I begin working to develop a meaningful connection through understanding the specific needs of each person I work with.

Believe that it is possible to build a stronger relationship and have a fulfilling life together.
All of us have moments when we struggle in our relationships. Sometimes we can manage on our own and other times these difficulties point to larger issues and concerns. Juggling the demands of two careers and modern family life can leave us feeling frazzled. We often feel pressured to stretch ourselves beyond our capacities and long for some respite. It is in these more difficult times together that we tend to seek out a deeper understanding of ourselves and new approaches to dealing with both new and longstanding worries.

Over the past 20 years I have learned that my clients come to therapy to be heard, understood, and to make sense of the complicated issues and relationships in their lives. People begin therapy for many reasons; feeling stuck, overwhelmed,confused or consumed with anxiety and depression. Couples come to therapy to improve their communication, to increase their co-parenting skills, or to enhance their emotional and physical intimacy. A good psychotherapy relationship can improve your feeling of well-being. It can be helpful during periods of transition and provide a safe place to explore past traumas or recent losses.

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.
