Over the years, I have had training in Gestalt, family systems, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy.
I work with individuals, couples (including LGBT), older adolescents, college students and seniors. My areas of speciality include anxiety, depression, relationships and life stage issues. With couples, I often find that it's helpful to shuttle between individual issues and relationship issues, depending on what is relevant at the time.

I have spent over 15 years receiving advanced training in psychodynamic individual therapy, couples therapy (including Imago and Emotionally Focused Therapy), family therapy, sex therapy, EMDR, and Jungian psychology.
With over 25 years of experience in private practice and teaching other professionals, I work with adults, couples, and adolescents. Maybe more than anything else, the most important part of psychotherapy is the bond that is built between the therapist and person or couple seeking treatment. Warmth, humor, understanding the root of the problem, and the capacity to be frank and solution-oriented, when needed, all combine to promote a safe environment where people can find a way through their particular problem.

I use a combination of relational approaches ( Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Social Justice, Holistic practices) that focus on creating sustained wellness, seldom only treating the symptom.
I am a licensed professional counselor trained in Jungian Psychology and Mindfulness-based therapies. I also hold certifications in Life Coaching, and have worked with diverse clients indicating concerns at various life stages - emerging adulthood, new parenthood, mid and late-life crisis, sexual, and gender identity. I believe that many of life’s challenges stem from pre-conditioned ways of one’s personality. My role as a therapist is to support you in recognizing how pre-conditioned patterns are causing distress. By bringing those behaviors to the fore-front you can shift your consciousness into creating profound transformations.

The first step is looking for help and the next crucial piece is finding rapport with a therapist—maybe the most important part of therapy! I have training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Imago, Mindfulness, and broader psychodynamic work and take a creative approach in treatment, putting together a range of interventions tailored to each individual.
Have you been thinking about therapy for a while, wondering if it's right for you? Are you looking for change in your life? These are questions which we may ask ourselves. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in change, increasing self-awareness, identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors that have shaped their lives and then trying to reconfigure these in positive, grow-oriented ways. While I have worked with clients of all ages, across the lifespan, I do have deeper experience working with college and post-collegiate aged adults, new mothers, and anyone dealing with life transitions.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and most informed by psychodynamic, relational, cognitive, and dialectical-behavioral theories and research.
My style as a psychotherapist is supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, and challenging life circumstances and transitions. I aim to help people better understand their areas of struggle and how they can use their strengths to overcome challenges. My goal is to help the people I work with achieve meaningful change. I prioritize tailoring treatment to individual needs. We can either begin therapy with concrete problem solving techniques and skills, or with examining what is going on in your life and identifying areas to focus on.

I am a trauma informed psychodynamic psychotherapist, and my approach is integrative.
We all experience times in our lives when we feel that life is out of balance. Perhaps there is sadness, or longing. Something doesn't feel quite right. Or Maybe we experience the effects of past or present trauma and feel disconnected from ourselves or others. With presence and warmth my goal is to provide a nurturing environment where you can explore, process, and develop insight into why life feels the way it does. I'll strive to help you find sure footing as you navigate the uncertainties of life, and develop a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Utilizing a developmental perspective and extensive training ( Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy), I customize treatment to your needs, in a warm and judgment free atmosphere supportive of personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and based in attachment theory.
Making the decision to engage in psychotherapy is an important step in healing from traumatic life events that leave emotional wounds long into adulthood. My approach to working with individuals suffering from traumatic stress comes from an understanding that trauma is stored in the body. Often traditional talk therapy is ineffective until one learns how to calm the body’s heightened state of anxiety and therefore allowing the mind to focus on healing rather than survival. Substance abuse is often an effective but maladaptive coping strategy for the emotional and physical stress responses that linger long after the traumatic experience is over. I assist clients who struggle with substances to discover the connection between their substance use and their trauma symptoms, and to develop new strategies for recovery that start with the body.
