I am particularly interested in working with individuals on relationship issues; self esteem, life transitions, anxiety/stress management; gaining self awareness; and recognizing the importance of self care and self curiosity.
It can be the day to day stressors in our lives that may activate us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, unsettled, unfulfilled, confused, and lonely. Our goal will be to work on identifying and using your strengths to help you gain awareness and self understanding as a means to make meaningful and sustainable growth to enhance your day to day living.

Picking a therapist is a very personal choice. You need to feel that your therapist understands your experience, your challenges and moves you a new way of seeing yourself and your strengths. I provide psychotherapy for adults and couples. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and relationship challenges. For couples, I use the Gottman Method to assess couple relational strengths and to target learning new ways to communicate and build connection and intimacy.

Are you looking for relief... anxiety, life transitions, unresolved trauma, relationship/work conflict, or a sense of disconnect from yourself? My clients often come to me in a state of overwhelming stress, anxious thoughts, and emotional distress while grappling with a myriad of questions, self-doubt, and excessive worry. I understand that having a confidential space to talk freely and understand what's possible for you to feel relief, renewed hope, and confidence is necessary.

Do you find yourself being attracted to romantic partners that leave you feeling unsupported and unloved, smothered and engulfed, or with whom you lose your identity? I have been very successful in assisting people with identifying patterns of behavior, attachment style, and communication issues that may have become ingrained and habitual. And then work to develop new ways of relating that are more effective and satisfying, and increase one's ability to be securely attached, comfortable with both intimacy and individuation in healthier relationships. Do you struggle with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem or lack of assertiveness?

I have weekday/daytime openings (M,W,F) for female clients. I think of the work I do as looking at the past while mindfully living in the present. That is, exploring ways to deal with current stresses/symptoms, while also exploring the underlying causes of these painful issues. We can't change what we think or what we feel but we can work on how to handle thoughts and feelings more effectively so they don't have so much impact and influence on us. I help people identify their values and work with them on living those values despite the current situation or circumstances.

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.
