Individual Therapy
In individual psychotherapy sessions, I listen more than speak. My analytical mind, intuition, and solid knowledge combined do the work. I have been trained to tune in and capture what that creative work has generated. I am patient to allow the fuller picture to unfold. While not all of our experience is worded, conversation is our means of working. Words are the tool, but ultimately, change is lived....Learn More

My psychotherapy training is rooted in the classical theory of psychodynamic therapy. My personal individual and training group therapy have provided a very solid background that has been expanded with several years of clinical experience. I incorporate current developments in neuroscience and cognitive therapy in my sessions.
Each client brings a whole new world of experience to me. Despite my familiarity with certain issues, what you are going through is unique to you. In this sense, all that is brought to therapy is fresh to me. I learn together with you.
Couples Therapy
I deeply care about the couples I see. If you join me, we will be setting on a journey that will intensify your connection and bond with your partner and give you new, effective ways of expressing your needs and desires.
As a couples therapist, I follow the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model of engagement, staying closely with the emotion at any given moment and helping the couple name the feelings that arise in the session so they can be understood. Understanding brings down levels of tension and opens the door to more caring interactions, compassion, and love.
The therapy follows a well-defined method of therapy that studies have proven to be one of the most successful modern approaches to couple relationship work. My training in the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic modality and extended learning on trauma is incorporated into my sessions.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is required when seeing the whole family together is the most effective and necessary way for addressing an issue with one or more members of the family. This is often suited when working with children and teenagers, as well as when the family is going through major life transitions. Family sessions can be very powerful, emotionally intense and result in shifts that are difficult to achieve in other ways.
