I work with adolescents, college students, and adults facing the challenges of daily life, relationship stress, life transitions, crises, or a general sense of ‘stuckness.
There are times when it seems life will unravel if you look too closely at the circumstances and parts of yourself you’ve worked hard to ignore. Yet, the life you’ve curated has become untenable. You’re faced with a choice: withstand this vague, nagging sense of anxiety and disconnection or find a way to explore the possibility of something new. I believe we all have within us the capacity to lead rich, meaningful lives.

It has been my privilege to help people develop lives that are deeply meaningful and emotionally satisfying. Psychotherapy is not a set of tricks or techniques. Rather, it is a personal relationship that affects people on a number of levels. Most of my clients come away from the process with some new practical skills and new, more adaptive ways of looking at life. They also hone their capacities to look at themselves, with more insight and greater self-understanding. Particularly rewarding for me has been my work with families, assisting them in healing from the wounds and fractures of divorce.

I love teaming up to achieve personal healing--through meditation/mindfulness, change of job, improving or leaving a primary relationship, accepting a human limitation, moving beyond a limitation, changing substance habits, improving communication, nutrition, habits, lifestyle, or changing negative thought patterns.
I start where you are. I firmly believe that life rarely unfolds in a straight line, and that we can all find our way— no matter how lost or hurt we might feel. Whether you are struggling with illness, death of a loved one, a learning problem, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, difficult family dynamics, prolonged poverty, traumatic events, or other emotional, relationship or socio-economic factors, healing can occur.

I love to help couples and relationships find their connection. You might feel there is a pattern to your fights. You argue about the same things and are both left feeling alone and not important to your person. We will explore how to identify and ask for what you want in a way that feels less threatening to the relationship. Let's rebuild the intimacy and closeness that you need to feel fulfilled. Working on communication by expressing our emotions and needs, slowing down the cycle and developing new experiences can bring about lasting connection.

The counseling relationship is paramount in the growth process.
When we are out of balance in mind, body, or spirit, the overall effect is that we don’t feel well. We become plagued by knowing something is wrong, but perhaps do not know exactly what that is, how we got there, or how to begin changing it. As the imbalance worsens, so does our discomfort, and we begin to suffer the effects of emotional dis-ease and physical disease. An imbalance commonly presents itself (for example) as anxiety or depression. When a struggle wages in the mind, its effects are often felt throughout the body in the form of fatigue, distractability, digestive problems, muscle tension, chronic pain, and more.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
