I specialize in working with relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, work stress, life transitions, identity concerns, family dynamics, grief and loss and parenting issues.
Life comes with many complex challenges. Sometimes we feel alone or inadequate and experience difficulty being fully authentic with others. Other times, we lack the necessary support, or open ourselves up to being hurt by others. Mental health is strongly influenced by our ability to get our needs met. Psychotherapy is a process where we take a close look at your needs, including the thoughts and feelings you have when you feel stuck. By identifying, fleshing out and contextualizing your reactions, we gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of you. This process will help you find freedom of choice and greater fulfillment.

I support people that struggle in relationships and during life transitions due to their attachment style and their childhood experiences. This not only includes romantic, work, family and friendly relationships, but also boundaries, communication, grieving and acceptance. I help parents who seek to improve their relationship with their children or that want to address their mental health struggles as they parent in an era of high expectations and stress. I work primarily with adolescents and adults in individual therapy, and children (2-8 years old) through family therapy sessions ( Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Theraplay).

Every individual exists within a context of roles and relationships - son or daughter, parent, partner, friend, colleague.
One thing is certain in life: things always change. All of us encounter difficult changes, narrow passages that we must navigate: unemployment, relocation, breakups, divorce, illness, bereavement. We also experience good, positive changes. Ironically, these too can be quite stressful. Falling in love, getting married, childbirth, getting a promotion at work, any major accomplishment can precipitate uneasiness and worry. It can be tremendously helpful to have the attention, support and perspective of a thoughtful therapist. Together, we collaborate to get you through these challenges while, at the same time, being curious about the deeper meanings underneath the surface.

I have a particular interest, and a lot of experience, in working with individuals or couples adjusting to first-time parenting.
Are you feeling worried, sad, confused, or generally stressed? Collaborating with a therapist to gain insight into these feelings can provide relief. Having a confidential, supportive, and reliable atmosphere to talk through troubling thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can lead to a greater sense of control and satisfaction in your life. I work with clients to develop a deep understanding of the challenges they are facing and to help them make life altering, sustainable changes. Feel free to give me a call if you'd like more information and we can discuss what might be helpful for your particular situation.

In addition to traditional therapy, I also provide divorce coaching and parent coordination for parents looking for alternative ways to address co- parenting difficulties.
Today you or your family are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I see therapy (individual, couples and family) as a collaborative effort to figure out what obstacles are getting in the way of you and your family's happiness. We explore past and current behaviors, thoughts, relationships, and make connections between past and current experiences to help create change. We can work together to create a new experience that not only gets you through the storm to the calm, but can help you or your family thrive.

This may involve concerns about an underachieving or acting-out teen, a young adult child experiencing a "failure to launch", or a divorced person struggling to co- parent with and ex-spouse.
In my practice, I work with a diverse clientele: children, adolescents and adults from all backgrounds. My approach is practical and conversational as we explore together the stressors of daily living, relationship concerns, parenting issues, and in some instances, severe psychiatric disorders. Often, clients seek short-term interventions, though for some difficulties therapy continues for an extended period. I allow my clients to set the agenda for our work together and decide what sort of help is needed.

Do you worry that you are not a good enough parent, partner or friend? Do you have trouble getting to sleep when you are overloaded with thoughts about mistakes you've made? Do you wake up most mornings feeling depressed or anxious? Are your moods swinging- you have a short fuse- or are you shutting down? If yes, you could be suffering from depression & anxiety. The cause could be chemical-due to a family history or it could be situational-due to a loss or traumatic event. Traumatic events include becoming a caregiver to a family member with mental illness.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, chronic stress, life transitions or the effects of trauma? Would you like psychotherapy to be a collaborative process, where we determine a personalized approach to our work together? I typically blend insight-oriented therapy to deepen self-understanding, mindfulness practices to cultivate awareness and compassion, cognitive-behavioral interventions for symptom relief, and mind-body medicine for regulating the nervous system. With specialized training in yoga and meditation, I enjoy interweaving Western clinical psychology with Eastern yoga and mindfulness-based practices for a holistic, strengths based, mind-body approach to health and well being.
