Welcome ...

I invite you to explore my website. If my philosophy and therapeutic approach matches what you are looking for feel free to contact me by phone or email.  I would be happy to answer any additional questions you might have, and/or to set up an appointment.

As a psychotherapist I witness daily how most of us have developed ways to protect ourselves from emotional pain. We have layers of feelings connected with our formative life experiences, which we sometimes wall off and keep outside of our awareness. These protective walls damage our relationships with others and with ourselves. They can deeply hamper our livelihood and affect our mood. The kind of psychotherapy I do is designed to get at the core of the problem. Profound and lasting improvement can occur sometimes in a matter of months.

Look over the following to see if any resonate with you:

• Do you underachieve despite your capabilities?
• Does life feel lackluster or flat?
• Does anxiety cause you to avoid new challenges?
• Do your relationships start out strong and then unravel?
• Do you handle anger by erupting, withdrawing into silence, or blaming others?
• Have you had previous therapies only to find out that the same problems recur?

Though you may be discouraged, confused, or overwhelmed with the changes you desire, you do not have to do this alone. Individual psychotherapy allows you to explore your concerns in a completely confidential one-on-one setting. The beginning stages of psychotherapy will help us to develop the rigor and quietude necessary to uncover and work with the core issues of your life.
