For over 30 years, I have been helping people to cope with anxiety, depression, troubled relationships, and a general sense of dissatisfaction.
If you’ve been facing these life challenges —often tied to early emotional experiences — psychotherapy can be a powerful step toward growth and lasting change.
As a psychotherapist who has been in treatment myself —I know firsthand how transformative the process can be— how healing can take root in the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen and understood.
I learned that whatever I was facing I didn’t have to go through it alone. I could feel supported every step of the way.
I learned it could help you to heal and to build inner strengths — leaving you feeling more grounded and confident.
I learned it could you help to improve your relationships – whether dating, making new friends or, navigating existing relationships with family or colleagues.
I learned it could help you to explore your relationship to work — giving you more clarity, direction and self-assurance.
Overall, a meaningful psychotherapy experience can leave you feeling stronger, more confident and more secure in who you are.
Treatment Approach
In my work with individuals and couples, I use a flexible, collaborative approach to help people find new ways of coping. We look at how your moods are shaped by both your life experiences and the natural wiring of your brain and body. I also share practical insights from the latest advances in neuroscience, which explain why certain feelings can be so hard to shift — and why “just snapping out of it” rarely works. Understanding this can be a relief, and it opens the door to kinder, more effective ways of creating change.
My practice includes work with a wide variety of individuals and couples whose presenting issues are quite diverse.
Some of the typical issues I work with are:
- Low Self-Esteem
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Relationship Troubles (family, work, friends)
- Couple Issues (marital conflict, divorce, relationship problems of people living together or separately, straight, gay, lesbian, transgender, open relationships, and polyamorous relationships.)
- Job Stress and Dissatisfaction
- LGBTQ+ (see specialties page)
- Recovery Issues
- Coping with Chronic Illness
- Bereavement
- Trauma
