You are looking for a therapist who can help you get from where you are to where you want to be. My practice is committed to helping you achieve your goals in a timely manner. Time is of the essence and you want to do the work and enjoy the results. Join me as we assess what is keeping you stuck where you are, gain resources and skills to use in our work together, and jump in as we process areas that feel stuck in order for you to move into where you want to be. We will not move faster than you want to go but we will move our way through the therapeutic process in order to get you feeling and functioning better.

During the past 30 years of working as a psychotherapist, I have helped people with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship and work issues, and often just a general sense that something isn't right. As a Jungian and relational therapist, I am empathic, nonjudgemental, nonpatholgizing, and deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. Warm and down-to-earth, I enjoy exploring deeper levels of experience but can be practical and provide suggestions and tools when that is what is needed.

Many of us feel disconnected from ourselves and experience symptoms that constrict our lives and relationships. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe environment where people can comfortably explore their longstanding, repetitive patterns, work through past trauma, integrate previously disowned parts of self, and discover their inner strengths. Using a holistic and integrative approach grounded in psychodynamic theory, I am committed to helping my clients gain insight and self-awareness and feel empowered to alter their present experiences by making intentional decisions that align with their values.

Welcome - thank you for your interest in my practice! I enjoy working with adults, and adolescents and their parents. It is my goal to create a safe space where you feel free to share about yourself and to build a deep relationship. We will focus on your strengths, and on your mind and body to help you achieve your goals. Perhaps you are dealing with difficult emotions, are in a crisis, facing a transition in your life, or are looking to feel more fulfilled. The therapeutic relationship we build is key for change to occur, for you to connect with your authentic self, gain insights and awareness, and for healing to take place.

I believe strongly in meeting clients where they are at and taking a collaborative approach to meeting the treatment goals of therapy. I know for some, it can be anxiety provoking to seek therapy, and I strive to create an environment that is warm and focused on the issues that matter to the client.

Hi there! I currently have weekday availability for children and teenage clients both in-person and online. I use research-based interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Beyond this, what I believe makes the greatest impact in a therapeutic success story is the trust in relationship between myself and the client.

My life’s work is to improve & understand human relationships, and to help others live a life of meaning and authenticity. I strive to build bridges of understanding between multiple realities and reframing perspectives. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I specialize in trauma, transitions, cross-cultural adjustment, personal or professional relationship difficulties, parenting, grief, and marital issues.

At this moment you feel lost, disconnected from your path/career, and unsure how to find self-fulfillment while experiencing intense expectations of others. You know you need help and don't know where to turn. Explaining how lost you feel to others will make you more vulnerable than you wish to feel. You feel alone and know that something has to change. The stress of school and/or work is insurmountable, and sharing these feelings with friends and family is impossible. Your stress causes intense pressure and anxiety which is affecting every aspect of your life.

I believe our mutual job is to work together to help you find the best ways of dealing effectively with your problem. Sometimes, although we may know the answers to our problems, we have never been taught the skills to implement that knowledge. Part of my job is to use my expertise and education to teach those skills. For example, we may realize we are being misunderstood by others and work hard to be understood, but no matter how hard we try, nothing changes. Teaching communication skills is one of my areas of expertise that may prove useful.

Struggling with anxiety, depression and high stress can have a negative effect on how you think, feel and experience the world. In these challenging times, you may find yourself isolated or not feeling as connected in relationships. The isolation makes the feelings of anxiety and depression worse and more difficult to cope with. In turn, having an effect on your resilience, sense of self and confidence. You’re not alone, and in a safe enough space you can begin to heal.

I will work with you to guide you through your depression, grief, anxiety, relationship or spiritual issues to find harmony, comfort, health and balance. I work with an integrative approach. The outcome of therapy is usually greater self-knowledge, a re-integration of de-pressed thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and a new relationship with self, others, and the world. Therapy often involves structured "talk" therapy, creative work, an exploration of your dreams, religious experiences, and personal myths.

I believe that we all have the ability to grow and change and sometimes we need help in order to do so. The therapeutic relationship can be a place for connection, healing, insight and acceptance.

We often come to points in life that leave us feeling lost, stuck and untethered. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, or beyond, you are not alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and would be honored to work with you. For many, therapy can provide a safe space to unpack and explore your feelings, experiences, thoughts, and fears while aligning with your values, goals and hopes to become more present, connected and fulfilled in your life. The relationship is key to this process and I strive to understand you, your identity, and your background.

As a therapist, the connection between my client and me is central to the process. By fostering a safe and deep relationship, we can explore both immediate and historical issues that are causing suffering and pain. We will use a combination of mind, body and emotional understanding to explore the layers of the self. With increased insight and awareness, you will feel a greater sense of well being and satisfaction in all areas of your life.

I have been a psychologist for over 50 years. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Northwestern University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado in 1972. I taught, conducted research and treated patients at Vanderbilt University, where I collaborated with Dr. Hans Strupp, a pioneer in the study of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. I published over 100 scientific articles on the process and outcome of therapy and the influence of sex and race biases in diagnosis and treatment.

I have many years' experience in and a passion for treating infants, toddlers, preschoolers, children and adolescents and their families dealing with a variety of issues including the following: adjustment difficulties, trauma, divorce, attachment difficulties, social problems, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, and developmental delays. I can provide psychological evaluations when needed to help identify areas of difficulty and of strength, and to guide treatment direction. I also provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents and their families.

Have your once-loved activities lost their zest? Do you feel trapped by overthinking, making the same mistakes in your relationships, or constantly slipping back into bad habits? Maybe you're grappling with ADHD symptoms like putting things off or having trouble getting things done, and past hurts that dim your mood, self-view, and strain your relationships. If you answered 'Yes' to any question above, then I am the therapist for you! I bring 18+ years of experience to the table, equipped with a top-tier education from the University of Southern California, (USC).

You can bring more peace into your life, strengthen your relationships, and increase your joy! I would love to work with you. By integrating healthy principles of mind, body, and spirit, I can help you rediscover and develop your core strengths. You will learn new tools to help heal emotional pain, communicate more effectively, decrease your stress, and increase your life enjoyment. You are worthy of unconditional love and acceptance, and you hold unique gifts to share with the world. Let's work together to use your unique strengths for self-healing.

Shame, anxiety, overwhelming stress and relationship difficulties can disrupt our ability to live a mindful and conscious life. Working with adults and adolescents to promote acceptance, empathy and compassion is my primary interest and the approach I take in therapy. I also have experience and a passion for working with clients who are struggling with Eating Disorders and body image issues. I feel that the energy between therapist and client is the first step in healing emotional wounds and promoting positive changes.
