Welcome to my practice.

Here you will find a new understanding of yourself and your behavior—one that you might never have thought possible.

In our sessions, you will gain understanding of how suppressed emotions are taking you away from who you want to be, understand yourself and your feelings better, release and transform painful feelings while working to better understand and change self-sabotaging behavior. You will also learn new skills to handle challenges, bring back love and respect for yourself, and manage your relationship with others more effectively.

My 30+ years of practice have given me a deep understanding of how our emotions strongly influence our behavior, and I’ll help you recognize and understand your actions. And when you understand why you are doing what you are doing, I will help guide and support you through making real changes for a happier and more satisfying life.

We will schedule a series of 60-minute sessions in which we will explore your current issues, as well as your background. Through our interactive discussions we will uncover the underlying causes that created the problem and formulate concrete steps to get you back on track. My skill as a therapist allows me to quickly home in on the specific factors causing your emotional pain, so we will know where we need to put our focus for immediate and long-term benefits. You will see results.

In every session we will focus on YOU: together we will examine ways that you are limiting your life and make a plan for healing. Many of my clients reach their goals and feel better within a few sessions. Others find the process so enriching and enjoyable that they continue to come to me for months or even years. You will be reassured by the atmosphere of respect, honesty and non-judgment I foster and you are likely to have fun with the process as I guide you on your journey toward feeling happy and satisfied in your life.
