Initially trained in Psychodyamic Theory, I have expanded my training to include Trauma Informed Therapy, Gottman Couples techniques, Somatic Experience, and Attachment Theories.
As an experienced psychoanalyst, I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck and can't see options for change. During each stage of life, we face a different set of physical and emotional challenges that can create feelings of despair, fear, sadness, loneliness and anxiety. It is overwhelming to be a pre-teen or teen trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Individuals feel helpless because they repeat unwanted behaviors that often stem from early trauma. Couples keep fighting the same fight over and over and can't break the cycle. I help you to change these patterns.

As a psychotherapist, marital and family therapist practicing for over 25 years, my goal is to work with individuals, couples or families, no matter how challenging the issues. Many people come seeking help for the first time, while others have been unsuccessful in other therapies, often for long periods of time. Some are very clear about what they want help with and some are ambivalent and need to define what it is they hope will change.

Through exploration of present and past experiences in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship, I help people develop an awareness and understanding of their lives, let go of painful experiences, achieve more satisfying ways of managing challenging situations, and find more gratifying choices and directions in their lives.
If you are feeling bad about yourself and aspects of your life, therapy can help improve your self-esteem, mood, and the quality of your life. I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with a wide range of issues. Some are confused and unhappy about their relationships or troubled by their performance at work or school. Others come into therapy because of a crisis in their lives, such as illness, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. I also see people who are having trouble adjusting to a life transition, like going away to college or becoming a parent. Still others are bothered by events from the past. Whatever the issue, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and/or angry are common.

In my work with couples, I can help you both learn to communicate with each other more clearly and with empathy, to speak TO each other instead of AT each other, to really LISTEN to one another and to learn to trust and respect each other once again.
I work with individuals, couples and families. It is very common for most people to feel sad, depressed, nervous, anxious, or overwhelmed at one time or another. Often, these feelings are triggered by a crisis, change or loss, especially when you are dealing with stress at work, conflict in a relationship, a serious health issue, the death of a loved one, or memories of a traumatic, painful past.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
