I view our therapeutic relationship as us working together as a team.
Hi there! My therapeutic approach is all about you. My goal is to make therapy a warm and safe space to help you make the changes you wish to make. I am flexible and will use different types of therapy depending on your needs and preferences. I often use a blend of client-centered, ACT, and psychodynamic therapies.

Waitlist for new clients
In more than 25 years as a psychologist, I've cultivated a profound respect for the ways people reshape their lives despite daunting problems. I see my role as helping you understand how a particular problem is working, noticing moments you are living more according to your own designs, and solidifying these changes. Couples are a particular interest of mine. I meet with couples trying to decide if they are a good fit for a committed relationship; couples who want to undo habits of conflict that diminish connection; and long-term couples who find they've drifted into parallel lives. I am keeping a waiting list for clients.

Whether our work becomes insight oriented, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or interpersonally focused, our relationship and your strengths and goals will guide the process.
As a client at various times in my own life, I appreciate the challenge of engaging with a new therapist. The vulnerability of opening up to a stranger is real and palpable. Your growth in therapy is driven in part by your willingness to trust me, feel calm in the process, and confidence in my approach. My work always begins with this recognition, and has led to over twenty years of creating a safe and comfortable space, while nurturing deeply meaningful relationships. Humbly and respectfully, I have had the privilege to witness amazing client strength, courage, and growth. I always learn from you, as you ideally learn from me.

People often come to my office for a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns and grief.
We all experience challenges during our everyday lives. Sometimes these challenges can seem overwhelming and discouraging. I work with people who want to make changes in their lives to help themselves overcome these difficult experiences. These changes can often be difficult to contemplate, yet alone act on. I strive to create a supportive environment for my clients where they can explore their concerns and the emotions that arise.

I work with individuals coping with such issues as :depression,anxiety, relationship conflicts,and personality disorders.
I view Psychotherapy as collaborative effort where the client and therapist work together to find resolution to issues. It is an active process whether we're doing individual or couples' therapy. Although issues often feel quite daunting initially, they become manageable and ultimately resolved in a timely fashion. After over 35 years of experience, I believe that most, if not all presenting problems can be helped.

We can all benefit from a little extra support and the opportunity to talk to someone from outside our daily lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families to better connect with themselves and eachothe. Sometimes, this comes in the form of identifying and processing individual trauma. Sometimes, this is comes in the form of exploring assumptions and a harsh internal dialogue. Other times, this process comes with an exploration of the self and the nervous system through art, guided imagery, and mindfulness. Together, we develop and build treatment based on an ever-evolving concept of self and the needs of that self to heal.

Connection and communication are key to any healthy, satisfying relationship--peer, adult-child, partner- partner.
I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.
