Life is difficult.
For over thirty years, I have been helping people navigate these challenges and find more effective ways of coping with life’s unexpected twists and turns. Therapy begins with my listening carefully and respectfully to your story. Understanding your history is crucial to our working together to find more effective solutions to your current challenges. My training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family systems theory helps me understand the ways you have made sense of yourself and your world, and how those familiar beliefs about yourself may be keeping you from living life as fully and joyfully as you can. I have training in a variety of therapeutic approaches and will use the methods and skills most appropriate for the problems you are currently experiencing.

My style of working with clients is to combine psychodynamic theory with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Psychodynamics is the theory and practice of seeing current emotional difficulties in light of early life experiences. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is focused on helping individuals change their thinking about themselves and their situation, and employ new behaviors that reinforce healthy boundaries and self-care.
Change happens when we understand the roots of our problems, we explore our feelings and cognitions and we embrace new, healthier behaviors that lead to better outcomes.

The Creative Writing Group is designed to provide an honest and nurturing community wherein writers of all skill levels can share their work, receive helpful feedback and hone their writing craft.
My role is to help you move through those stages and discover your own strengths and capacities. Careful listening, educated and honest feedback, and gentle direction are part of what I bring to the therapeutic relationship. You bring yourself and your willingness to make the changes necessary to make your life more rewarding.
