I was originally trained as a child psychologist and have 25 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults.
I use IMAGO relationship therapy to help me work with you in both individual sessions as well as couple/group/parenting sessions. We all want to create more connected, healthier and loving relationships in our lives and together we can figure out your relationship patterns, the causes of conflict in your relationships, and ways to heal those parts of the self that are more difficult to access. Therapy can be an empowering way to increase flexibility in one's life and to improve well being at home and at work. My goal is to help you increase your flexibility and learn more effective ways to interact with others.

My years of working in a school system have equipped me to deal with learning and emotional problems in children.
I believe that my greatest strength is helping people to empower themselves and to engage life in a meaningful way. I work with individuals, couples and families in a predominantly cognitive/ solution-oriented way. I am very present in our work and deeply believe the relationship with the client is paramount. We focus on strengths and assets, the positive, infused with a large dose of humor and humanism. Together we examine attitudes and beliefs and what works and what doesn't. At its best psychotherapy is a creative collaboration between the client and therapist about the client's issues.

I am proud of my professional training which combines child therapy, intensive internships in developmental psychology, Piagetian psychology, psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy.
I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.
