For nearly four decades, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from hundreds of individuals, couples and families as they have wrestled with the challenges of their lives. Every person's story and circumstances are unique but if someone is helped by the work we do together, it is generally because we form a relationship of trust and connection. My decades of work with top tier professionals at Harvard Business School, has given me a deep appreciation of the interplay between professional and personal lives. My own commitment to lifelong learning enables me to bring state of the art care to my clients.

Having many years of experience as a clinician, I believe the key to a positive therapy relationship is comfort and trust. My goal is to offer a caring and direct relationship that helps you make your life more meaningful/ less conflicted by building on your strengths and capacities. I use a combination of cognitive and relational thinking to help encourage curiosity into one's choices and to foster change. My clinical specialty areas are grief/bereavement and marital/couples/relationship work, with individuals as well as with couples/families. Importantly, I find the therapeutic connection is tender and, hopefully, life-changing.

I have extensive training and experience with helping teens and adults heal from trauma, relationship issues, loss, and life transitions.
Perhaps you feel discouraged and are seeking therapy because you have tried to make changes but haven’t noticed a difference. Maybe you continue to be impacted by overwhelming events from the past. You could be reaching out because you’re experiencing anxiety, sadness, disconnection from others, or difficulty with navigating life transitions and managing stress. Maybe you’ve noticed your child is having a hard time and are reaching out on their behalf. You may want to build up your self esteem and have more fulfilling relationships, or to feel more connected to yourself, to grow, and to enjoy life.

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.
