I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing difficulties with life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, familial conflict and grief.
If you could use some help managing a change, communicating with your partner, coping with a loss or just finding a way to bring more happiness into your life, I would be glad to speak with you. Together we will identify and shift the patterns and coping methods that prevent you from feeling truly satisfied with your life. We will spend our time decreasing blind spots to insight and turning that newfound knowledge into meaningful change.

I believe that everyone has the ability to change. Sometimes it can be difficult being in the driver seat alone, so why not allow me to be there for you as the passenger? From my perspective, the client plays an integral role as the expert of their life. In sharing their journey with me, I hope to help them work towards sustainable growth and healing. My ideal client is someone who may be experiencing difficulty navigating their day-to-day responsibilities due to past trauma, current life stressors, and relationship issues.

Training, experience and expertise are all important, but ultimately the healing factor in psychotherapy depends upon the relationship between the client and therapist.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years' experience treating adults, adolescents, couples and families. Trained in insight-oriented treatment, I primarily identify as a "systems" therapist who helps clients understand their behavior and emotions not only as individuals but in the context of their family and relationships. I have an interest and expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral approaches to health (insomnia and weight issues in particular). I work with you to identify your concerns and goals, and to develop and implement a plan for working together to address them.

Your relationship is so important to you.
Ready to make a change in your relationship? Let’s talk. If you’ve had enough of the bickering and the blowups, the fights over things you can’t remember, the lack of communication – it’s time to learn a new way to do this. Look – relationships are hard. They take work. If you’re struggling in your intimate relationship (or family, or social life), there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s normal to struggle. But why keep spinning your wheels? There are people out there who can guide you through the challenges of relationships and build something awesome. I’m one of those people. And I’d love to help you get where you want to go.

I want to help make this process as comfortable as possible for you, because I believe that the relationship you develop with your therapist is one of the most important factors leading to success in therapy.
If you are looking for a therapist, then you have identified that there may be some area in your life that you are not satisfied with. Maybe you are seeking a change in your relationships, in your career, or in how you feel? I believe that psychotherapy should be a safe and comfortable place for you to explore what changes you would like to engage in to lead a more satisfying and happy life. My role is to help you through that process in a collaborative way, by providing support, increasing your insight, and teaching you new skills.

People consult therapists for many reasons. Being a psychotherapist is a great privilege - to meet people at critical times, to come to know them deeply, and to help them sort out bewildering, sometimes frightening, often painful thoughts and feelings. Therapy is about relationships, past and present, and especially our relationship to our own interior. It's been my life's work to help people know themselves and make better decisions about their lives. I'm happy to see anyone, with the will, integrity, and courage to open up and work on themselves in depth.

Thanks for looking at my profile. I'll try to be clear and direct to help you decide if you believe we'd work well together. I am a down-to-earth counselor with a sincere desire to help, but I'm not for everyone. If you're looking for someone to tell you how to live or give you a one-size-fits-all, quick-fix for your problems, I'm not for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for someone to build a trusting relationship with and explore hard to break habits, difficult patterns in relationships, seemingly endless struggles with anxiety or depression, or insecurities that have been plaguing you for years, I'd be a better fit.

I meet clients with an emphasis on a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as a place to begin healing, change, and empowerment.
I practice from a stance of radical inclusion, meaning I seek to welcome all parts of your experience and identity, even those that may feel shameful. I provide a warm and steady space to explore and uncover what feels true and we move at your pace. I have worked effectively with adults and adolescents who are healing from traumatic experiences, including interpersonal violence and abuse, sexual violence, adverse childhood experiences, and the impact of identity-based oppressions. I value the innate wisdom that clients bring to their own healing journeys and see you as the most important expert on your own experiences and desires.

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.
