Navigating life's stressors, overcoming relationship challenges and regaining a sense of hope are obstacles we can confront together. The most important relationship you have is with yourself, which determines the quality of the relationships you have with others and affects your overall quality of life. In a non-judgmental environment, you can feel safe discussing any topic of concern. Bringing respect and warmth to the relationship, I will support you in overcoming adversity, decreasing depression/anxiety and in becoming the person you long to be.
I offer a sliding scale fee, Saturday sessions and a free phone consultation. Together we can create a fee that works for you. I specialize in insight-oriented therapy with individual adults and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, conflict, phase of life transitions, relationship issues, marriage or divorce, stress management, parenting, pregnancy, infertility, adoption, intimacy, and bereavement, among other issues.
Together we will recognize and address harmful patterns of behavior and replace them with new, healthier ones. Through increased awareness gained in therapy, new insights arise, a sense of empowerment develops and an overall life satisfaction emerges. In short, I will support you in feeling better about yourself.
Please contact me with any questions you may have about my services or setting up an appointment. I look forward to talking with you.
