Serving Individual Adults and Couples

Looking for a Therapist Who Gives Clear, Caring Feedback to Help You Solve Problems and Achieve Your Goals?


My approach is straightforward and involved.

  • Whether you are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem…
  • Want help developing, improving, or saving a relationship…
  • Or need assistance coping with a difficult loss or life situation, Therapy can help.


Experience has taught me that there’s no perfect kind of psychotherapy that works for everyone. Over the years, I’ve put together a toolbox of methods that work in the treatment of many difficult problems and life situations. I’m committed to helping you discover the approaches that work for you.

Specialties

  • Couples Therapy – As a Gottman Certified Couples Therapist, and an advanced EFT Therapist, I specialize in therapy designed to help couples learn to communicate effectively, manage conflict, rebuild trust, and foster intimacy. I also work with sexual problems and parent effectiveness. Learn more…


  • Depression – Whether it’s a recent episode or a long-standing problem, getting treatment for depression may actually promote healthier brain function and prevent or lessen the frequency and intensity of future episodes. Read more about depression...


  • Anxiety – Suffering from anxiety is so unpleasant that it can prevent you from living your life fully. I have expertise in treating generalized anxiety (chronic worry), panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and social phobia (shyness). Read more...


  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – A traumatic or highly stressful experience can result in symptoms of anxiety that occur months or even years later. The good news: this condition is very treatable. Learn more about PTSD…


  • Low Self-Esteem or Poor Self-Image – Two ways of saying you just don’t feel happy with yourself. Often, this takes the form of comparing yourself to others. The mind can be our most wonderful tool or our worst enemy. Therapy can help you tame your inner critic and put your mind to work for you. Continue reading…
  • Overcoming a Difficult Childhood – Therapy is the most effective tool I know to heal old wounds once and for all. You can transform self-defeating habits, beliefs, and patterns that have kept you stuck. 


  • Grief and Loss – At some point in all of our lives, we face the death of a loved one. Even more common are the everyday losses and disappointments we experience, such as the end of an intimate relationship or friendship, the loss of a job or career opportunity, or the loss of our health. Learn more…


  • Navigate Life Transition -   It’s been said that there’s nothing more exhilarating in life than facing one’s fears! It can be helpful to have the support of a therapist as you navigate your life transitions. Learn more…
