People are hostages of their unremembered past - past attachments, traumas, deprivations and coping strategies. Many of these strategies were necessary for survival and adaptation in the past, but later they became useless. When later in life the unremembered past is repeated, it limits a person's freedom, creativity and happiness. One usually needs help with understanding and undoing these old, repetitive and often ineffective strategies aimed at dealing with anxiety and life.

My ideal client may or may not have an idea where his or her distress is coming from but IS motivated to make changes to alleviate that distress. Together, we will develop strategies tailored to you to help you cope with current and/or past stressors so that you may lead a more peaceful, content life. My goal with all my clients is to help them feel like the best version of themselves.

The people who come to see me for help get my compassion, understanding and good judgment. Often, what is required is someone to talk with, who will pay attention and listen objectively, and then communicate that understanding in a way that is helpful. I like to give my clients practical ideas that can help enhance the conduct of their lives. I also think that by talking things out with an experienced professional, my clients gain the courage to take control of their lives and make the (sometimes difficult) choices they know they need to make.

Is it hard to turn off your worries? Are your thoughts intrusive and distressing? Do you feel they control you? Everyone worries at some point, of course, but it’s when the thoughts won’t go away, or you find yourself stuck in them, I can help you. Having anxiety isn’t a hopeless situation (no matter what your head may be telling you.) Far from it. My specialties and expertise are focused on treating adults and children who have anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, are going through life transitions (like life after divorce), or who would like help with their parenting skills.

In a society that rewards productivity and achievement as key drivers to success, it is easy to feel “not good enough” despite how hard you work. On the outside, it appears that you have it together- you are viewed by others as driven and reliable. Nobody would know that on the inside, you secretly struggle with feeling like an imposter, overthinking, and self-criticism. Many of the clients who I work with feel limited by their anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and general discomfort with change and uncertainty. In their efforts to gain control over painful thoughts and emotions, this leads things to feel even more out of control.

My approach to therapy is based on the fundamental belief that, even in the most difficult times, there are opportunities for growth. As a humanistic-constructivist therapist, I believe the strength of the therapy relationship is fundamental to the success of therapy. Thus, I attend closely to the quality of the relationship and aim to create a warm, respectful, and validating environment in which the person feels safe enough to talk about difficult and painful issues. At the same time, through gentle challenge, and empathic, genuine feedback, I offer clients the opportunity to explore avenues for healing and change.
