About

I have over 20 years of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic experience in helping individuals and couples improve self-esteem, relationship, and work-related issues that lead to personal change. If you are battling anxiety, depression, or simply overwhelmed, helping you spell out what you feel can make a huge difference. Sometimes the words to describe your feelings are not there. Just finding a way to express what you feel and want can be restorative. I can help you find the words to articulate your needs, clarify your dilemmas, and, in so doing, clear the roadblocks that get in the way of reaching your full potential.

Trauma pervades our lives. Unacknowledged trauma is often expressed as bodily pain. Understanding bodily emotion as "a way of knowing" and connecting words to such experience can reduce psychic and bodily pain. For business executives as well as the rest of us, the capacity to tap into our bodily experience improves performance and lowers stress.

Having a diverse background in fields such as theater and business brings a wide range of experience to my ability to understand and guide you. What I hope to provide to you is a safe, empathic, and supportive milieu--one in which we work together to identify/explore problems and arrive at the kind of solutions and that best meet your needs.
