Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

In therapy the most profound changes occur in the context of a safe and confidential relationship between the patient and a skilled and compassionate therapist. You will feel less alone with difficult feelings and I will help you figure out how and why you are getting stuck in work and/or in your personal life. Together we will work on clarifying your goals, meeting your challenges and helping you to feel more fulfilled. In a good therapeutic relationship you will develop a greater sense of empowerment and free choice. Life is full of hardships. What matters is developing the tools to deal with them.
