I’m also the author of How to Survive the Loss of a Parent and an experienced grief counselor.
Let’s work together to create the life you want. From starting a new job to having a baby to dealing with a divorce—our lives are constantly in flux. Transitions evoke strong emotions and raise big questions. How do I have to change things to make this work? What will have meaning in my life? Who will be there for me? What happens now?

Grief is an isolating experience in "normal" times, and we know our way through it is by sharing and connection with others.
Have you been impacted by loss due to Covid 19? Is isolation and social distancing causing you loneliness, anxiety or conflict in your family? Grief and mourning are being experienced as never before. Our traditional ways of coping - through the participation in rituals and communal gatherings, the hugs of loved ones and being with family - have been upended. The reality of not being able to be with loved ones, especially those who are ill or dying is traumatic. We are also having to negotiate with our family in new ways. I can help you find a path through these challenges.

I facilitate bereavement, caregiver and cancer support groups as well.
I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years. Early in my career I co-authored a book called Relationships, which explored how marriages either succeeded or failed. My work on the book helped me formulate a way of working with couples, one that was supportive of struggle in the interest of strengthening the relationship bond. I attempt to help couples not only survive but also to thrive. In addition, I do long- term psychodynamic work with individuals . I have worked with many people struggling with depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress.

I am acutely sensitive to all ranges of feeling, and to the critical need for all those who have difficulty sustaining work and love to surrender to facing the pain of grief from past losses and disappointments.
I have found that the most efficient avenue to life progress can be the connection between the psychotherapist and the client. Such connection promotes an evolving internal connection with one's most true passions,and offers the company of another in facing fears. I would help you to deal with conflicts that block your motivation and passion and help you open to new ways of engaging with your inner resources, and with the significant people in your life. In order to this I address any blocks & resistances that interfere with deep and authentic feeling contact.

In my experience, the so-called “stages of grief” are more like waves that come, go, and come back again over time.
Experiences of grief and death can make us feel lost and overwhelmed. I work with LGBTQ individuals and other adults looking for a seasoned psychotherapist to guide them through grief and life transitions. Every encounter with loss carries unique pains and sorrows. This is especially true for queer folks whose relationship to family and community can be complicated. I work with people across the spectrum and layers of loss - deaths, estrangements, life transitions, and more - and I tailor therapy to your needs wherever you are in the process.

I strongly believe in the collaborative nature of therapy - the creative engagement between the client and therapist, working toward a common goal: to help bring a greater sense of well being to you, the client - to your life, your psyche, your body, your relationships, your career, your home. I have a background in film, which makes working with people from the arts a natural fit (though I love to work with clients from all walks of life). Relationship concerns, career concerns, depression, anxiety, existential questioning, trauma, illness, bereavement and addictions are some of the areas in which I have experience.
