Welcome.

Sometimes the first step can be the hardest. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy, or perhaps you’ve tried before to find a therapist who truly hears and sees you. On this website, you’ll be able to learn about the way I work so you can decide if it fits what you’re looking for. You’ll find some of my thoughts on the subjects that tend to come up frequently in therapy. You’ll learn about my background. And you’ll find links to valuable resources on psychotherapy, depression, trauma, sexuality, relationships, and neuroscience.
Psychotherapy has two goals: to heal past trauma and to unpack the harmful beliefs and conflicts that are causing you to be at war with yourself. It brings about sustainable and lasting change by breaking destructive cycles so that you achieve a sense of wholeness, freedom, and well-being. You might describe it as emptying baggage you’ve carried for too long. You might talk about it as learning to feel better in your own skin.
The exact purpose of your own therapy will be specific to you. You may be coming to work on short-term symptoms or to begin longer-term exploration of your inner life. Either way, therapy seeks to help you figure out your truth so you can move through the world with greater ease.

I work with individuals and couples to ease suffering and strengthen relationships.
A well-known writer once said that the reason she writes is to figure out what it is that she thinks about something. I like to say that in therapy, you talk to figure out what it is you feel about something.
Figuring out what you feel pays off in all kinds of ways. It helps you learn what you really want, so you can move through the world more confidently. It helps you make wiser choices in love, work, family, and friendship. My approach to therapy is equal parts depth-oriented and practical, because I believe that the past is a key to understanding what’s happening in the present.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative undertaking. Together, you and I will address your present struggles to liberate you from the constraints of the past. If you and your partner are coming for couples therapy, we’ll look at past and present to increase intimacy and chart a course forward.
Psychotherapy is also a practice, like getting comfortable with meditation, a new language, or figure drawing. While you’re in treatment, the practice of weekly sessions helps you maintain a more intimate connection to your thoughts, feelings, and your own evolution.
