"The frightening thing is not dying
The frightening thing is not living"

Welcome!

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice website.  I hope the information contained here provides a useful snapshot of my work, and helps you determine if I can be of help to you.

At the heart of my psychotherapy practice is the belief that healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship.  I believe that most of what we strive for in life—satisfying relationships, meaningful work, and a sense of purpose within a larger whole—ultimately relates to how we feel about ourselves in relationship to others.  With warmth, humor, and a genuine desire to connect I help individuals and couples explore and transform the obstacles that prevent them from achieving satisfaction in life and from feeling good about themselves.

I work with people from diverse lifestyles, racial backgrounds, and sexual orientations.  I am skilled and experienced in helping clients with a variety of issues including:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Self esteem
• Forming/maintaining relationships
• Loneliness
• Identity
• Conflicts in the workplace
• Childhood trauma
• Sexuality
• LGBTQI issues
• Personal growth
• Premarital counseling
  
  

Research has shown that a key factor for a positive therapy outcome is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client.  A warm and caring connection is necessary to help ease the difficulty of talking about the issues that bring you to therapy.   I am always working to establish and strengthen this connection, from the beginning.
