Psychotherapy can be a powerful and effective way to get perspective on your life, alter behavior patterns, and have your temperament and strengths work with you rather than against you. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, relationship or intimacy issues, or find yourself stumbling in a familiar way with emotions, transitions or work issues, taking the first step toward receiving support and guidance can be difficult, yet empowering.
Using a supportive yet challenging stance, I will work with you to understand what is in your way, and we can develop a strategy to address the obstacles and patterns that are holding you back.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, older adolescents (16+), and couples.
I work with a wide range of emotional issues, focusing on helping people (and couples) to lead with their strengths and find a way to move in the world as the best version of themselves.
My therapeutic style is very direct and open, and I find that most people feel comfortable, relaxed and safe in my presence.
Although we may explore complicated experiences or ideas, I always work to keep the therapy grounded in the real world, with humor, honesty, and compassion.

At the Individual Intake Appointment, which lasts 55 minutes, we will focus on gathering information, gaining an understanding of what the issues are, and hearing what you are hoping to get out of therapy.
During this session, we can get a sense of whether I'm the right therapist for you, discuss some of the parameters and details of the therapy process, and I can give you my initial assessment of what I believe would be most helpful to you at this time.
If at the end of an initial appointment, I determine that a referral to another provider would be more appropriate, we can discuss it at that time.

The websites and resources below might be of interest to people exploring guided meditation, mindfulness, and mindful self-compassion practices.
This doesn't exclusively define the work I do in my therapy practice, so if meditation isn't your thing, it doesn't necessarily mean I wouldn't be a good fit for you as a therapist.
For some people, though, these exercises are useful ways to practice being more present, less reactive, and more compassionate toward themselves and others.
