We all need support in dealing with life's challenges but sometimes just asking for help can feel overwhelming. Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task: Whom can I trust? Will I be understood? Will I feel safe and respected? I understand these concerns. I work to create a warm, compassionate therapeutic environment. My clients tell me that they appreciate my down-to earth presence; my sense of humor, and my gentle yet honest feedback. My work blends psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral, internal family systems, and relational-cultural theories in ways that are specific to your unique goals. Many clients need support in coping with depression and anxiety. Others want guidance with life transitions including aging, illness, and loss. Some are concerned with sexual/gender identity. Several are in recovery from substance abuse, eating disorders and trauma. Many couples seek new patterns of communication to enhance intimacy. Whether you are looking to learn new ways of dealing with familiar behavioral and relational patterns, or are seeking support around a particular life crisis or transition, I will offer you a compassionate, supportive, yet challenging environment in which to achieve your full potential. I look forward to working together.
