I believe that the most important relationship we develop is with our inner self. People often get caught up in repetitive patterns that may hinder their work, love, or personal relationships caused by past traumas or disconnection from oneself. This may inhibit them from being able to live a fulfilling life. The process of getting in touch with often unknown aspects of oneself enables one to lead a fuller life. Lack of such a connection with our psychological center leads in varying degrees to emotional homelessness, emptiness in one's work, and personal relationships. In my publications I explore the notion of "inner home".

I help clients with anxiety/depression, trust and worthiness wounds, trauma, eating disorders, coaching, undesired relational dynamics, infidelity, life transitions, and identity development.
I work with clients who are struggling to get out of their own way and continue to repeat undesired patterns. These issues can present as continuing to choose emotionally unavailable partners ("toxic" partners), and yet get frustrated things are not working out and internalize it as something is wrong with them, or individuals/couples that have read every books they could find, yet the change they implement is often temporary and ultimately they return to old unhealthy behaviors and emotions. I help clients reach their goal of identifying and aligning with their values to live an empowered life filled with self-trust and love.

“Taking refuge” is a phrase in Buddhism that invites a world-weary self to find relief. From the confusion of life’s dramas and the pull to get swept up in them. Taking refuge requires building trustworthiness through a softening that happens over time in relationship. That is one reason psychotherapy is effective: The trustworthiness built by therapist and client allows for a depth of self to be known and expressed. Such encounters in turn build trustworthiness within oneself, for as our capacities enlarge, we enlarge. In finding solace within, we learn to live less fearfully, participate in relationship with authority and ease.

The work of psychotherapy begins with a desire for change. Whether that takes the form of understanding confusing life transitions, processing painful events, improving relationships, understanding your attachment style, or accessing your creativity with more vitality and openness, I am here. My approach is psychodynamic, which seeks to help people develop an awareness for how the past affects present emotions, behaviors and thought patterns. I believe that people are capable of change and greater fulfillment when they become able to develop an awareness of these patterns.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
