I practice a dynamic style of therapy that is rooted in creating a supportive, caring environment where we establish a good working relationship that fosters self-awareness and insight. I work in-depth with you to discover how past family experiences may (often unconsciously) influence present day issues. We work to understand how difficult situations of the past contribute to longstanding frequently dysfunctional behavior patterns or negative self-perceptions. Therapy can help heal painful emotional wounds and relieve symptoms, improve self-acceptance and coping, improve relationship quality and overall life and work satisfaction. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, stress, conflictual relationships, loss and grief, self-esteem, and life changes or transitions. I have specialized training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and forensic psychology. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or are just ready to move in a new direction with your life, please contact me for a free consultation. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
