At the heart of all significant issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss are relationships. Therefore, change must also occur within a relationship and therapy is a unique one which provides the safety, trust and honesty, to foster growth. As your therapist, I am fully present for you, in a way that even the best intentioned friend or family member may not be, because I do not have an agenda, and I am invested in the decisions you make to improve your quality of life.

Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. You may have difficulty making decisions or suffer from fears. Sadness, eating, sleeping or related physical ailments can keep you from being your best. For children, behavior is their indicator. Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned. Or maybe it’s a change in your life, even one that is supposed to be happy, and you’re not. You don’t like the path your life is taking. You don’t have to live that way. There is treatment. And it works.

In that role, I learned some of the many ways that personal suffering and social injustice are connected, and how coming to understand the relationship between the two can help people overcome shame.
I believe it is important for clients to connect the mind and body. To facilitate this connection I help clients notice how their feelings express themselves internally. Over time, this noticing and naming increases self-compassion as well as the ability to regulate and respond effectively to one’s emotions. In addition, my past work as a writer and editor makes me particularly attuned to themes in client’s stories. Through exploring the creation of their narratives, clients better understand their unique strengths and vulnerabilities, as well as how to care for different parts of themselves.

Whether family, couples, or individual therapy, my first priority is to make you feel safe, supported, and seen in our therapeutic relationship.
Are you an immigrant or child of immigrants stuck in painful relationships over clashing expectations and feeling unseen? Are you the “high achiever” or “caretaker” but have to hide parts of yourself and can’t shake the underlying fear that something isn’t right? Are you curious about how intergenerational experiences influence your identities, decisions, and struggles? You may have sought relief from the conflict, anxiety, and shame but not in the healthiest ways. You may finally be considering therapy to stop avoiding, stop suffering, and start healing. You’ve come to the right place.

I specialize in the treatment of loss related experiences, which can include a spectrum of conflicts resulting from loss of a job or career, relationship break-ups, loss of a loved one, illness, questions of self worth and self esteem, and adoption and infertility issues.
Working with individuals, families, children and teens for the past 20 years, I have come to learn that we all want to be understood so that we may live healthier, more productive lives. Often times however, conflicts and repetitive behaviors prevent us from finding the satisfaction we desire. Depression, anxiety, and a host of other self defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with basic relationship success and can cause work, or school related difficulties. My approach is to work closely with you through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your individual needs.

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.
