Are you unhappy with yourself or your life? Is there pain and sadness in your relationships? Are you finding it difficult to function at work or home? If your life seems sad or hopeless, or if your anxiety is taking over your life, there is something you can do. I have over 25 years experience helping people to feel better, to solve problems, and to improve relationships. I see adults and older adolescents in Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy. I am experienced in several kinds of therapies, and can help you determine what will be the most helpful to you. My areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Many of my clients have a history of early problems in their family, such as neglect or abuse (physical, emotional, sexual) resulting in problems with low self esteem, feelings of being unlovable/incompetent, and difficulty developing secure attachments in relationships. Together we evaluate what you need, and decide on therapy which will address your specific issues, and I will provide tools you can continue to use in your life after you leave therapy. I am experienced in several kinds of therapy: psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy,dialectical behavior therapy, and problem solving.
