I assist my clients in achieving their goals. Whether you are wanting to feel better about yourself, make your life work better for you, or if you are going through a tough situation, talking with a professional counselor can be very helpful. You want a therapist whom you trust. You want someone who is easy to talk to, who will listen and not judge you.
If you want to make personal changes, I can show you strategies that will help you develop new habits and keep you motivated. If you are struggling in your relationships with others (spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, family members, coworkers, boss) I can share insights and strategies about how you can express yourself more effectively. If you have been upset or under stress, we can explore what is making you sad, mad or anxious and get you feeling better.
Our work together is confidential and my office is a safe place where you will feel respected and understood.

My specialty is the psychology of changing patterns of behavior.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and my work is often informed by the insight of a Psychodynamic perspective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical approach that helps my clients to make changes in the here and now.
At the same time I believe that understanding the subconscious motivations of our actions (using Psychodynamic principles) can be very helpful as we work to towards lasting behavioral change.
I work with young adults (18 and older) and adults.

People often seek psychotherapy to get relief from the emotional pain or frustration of a mental condition such as a mood disorder i.e.
Someone may be overwhelmed by stress or may simply want to better manage a particular area of their life.
They may want to perform better at work or in school, improve their decision making skills, manage money more effectively or get more organized.
Since life doesn't come with an instruction manual and interpersonal skills are not taught in school, many people find that they could use some relationship coaching on how to be more successful in dealing with others.

Psychotherapy is communication between a patient and therapist that is intended to relieve emotional distress, seek solutions to problems or modify ways of thinking or acting that are impairing work or relationships.
The person seeking therapy may come to the first session with a clear goal in mind or they may work with the therapist to determine a goal.
A good way of determining a practical goal is to ask, "If this therapy were useful to me, how would I know it was 'working'?"
It usually takes a few sessions for the therapist to become familiar with the circumstances of the client's life and then the therapist and client can work together to determine a course of treatment.

I treat adult males and females and all types of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other disordered eating.
I work closely with the client's medical doctor and nutritionist as a component part of the team approach to treatment.
I only work with clients who are under the care of a doctor and nutritionist unless they are firmly established in recovery.
At our first meeting, I conduct an interview to learn the client's history of treatment and symptoms as well as their current level of support and motivation.

I treat adults who either: know they have a problem with drugs or alcohol or are not sure if they have a problem with drugs or alcohol.
I also work with adults who are in recovery for alcoholism or drug addiction or who have relapsed and want to get back into recovery.
I provide practical information regarding addiction diagnosis and treatment.
Sometimes people are not sure if they have a problem and want to better understand the dynamics of addiction, abuse and dependence.
Exploring your questions and concerns with an experienced clinician and in an atmosphere that is non-judging, has been helpful to many of my clients.
