I have training in psychodrama, Gestalt Therapy and trauma-focused therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I strive to create a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where one can feel safe to explore issues and concerns that impact on one's wellbeing. As a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I have come to appreciate that psychotherapy works because of the unique relationship that develops between the therapist and client. During the course of my career, in addition to my private practice, I worked in hospitals and mental health clinic settings.

Are you spending your days hurting emotionally and confused about how to cope? Do you feel alone even if you're with others, that nobody seems to understand you or your pain, uncomfortable sharing your feelings out of concern for what others might think or because you don’t want to burden them? Do you judge yourself, standing in your own way to make peace with yourself?

Modern life is uniquely challenging. We try to shape and mold ourselves into what we think we “should” be, and in doing so, we often lose touch with the most precious parts of ourselves. When we lose touch with these childlike parts, we keep ourselves from forming the close attachments that make life worth living. I work with my patients to help them embrace their natural curiosity, explore the existential questions that we push aside in daily life, challenge the negative self-talk that holds us back, and engage more fully in the pleasures that life can hold.

I bring over 25 years of clinical experience to my practice as a psychotherapist. It is my belief that we each have a quiet place of truth within us that has been buried by the demands of life.

Together, we will work in the present moment to increase self awareness, uncover obstacles, and access this place of inner truth and strength.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
