About the Psychotherapy Process

Are you looking for a safe environment to explore yourself? I will support you in uncovering the emotional truth of your symptoms, which will lead to change and healing. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, sexuality, sexual abuse, or grief and loss, I believe that deeper understanding of your internal processes and perception of yourself can help you work through your distress and create positive changes in your life. With all treatment, I approach clients sensitively and with respect to the uniqueness of their situation.

Are you a musician, artist or actor? I have particular insight with artists and musicians. Explore your artistic identity.

Are you a TEEN? As a former clinical director of a teen hotline, I provide a safe environment for adolescents to explore their struggles.

Have you been struggling with infertility? I work with individuals and couples experiencing the difficult choices involved in fertility treatments and the grief and loss that might be experienced in any stage.

Treatment specializations include:

  • Therapy for Depression and Anxiety
  • Adolescent Counseling
  • Couples Counseling
  • Parenting Support
  • Grief Counseling
  • Work and Career issues
  • Fertility Support/Adoption support
  • Addictions, Abuse & Recovery

The individual has only to discover his own position… and let it then assist him past his restricting walls. Who and where are his ogres? Those are the reflections of the unsolved enigmas of his own humanity. What are his ideals? Those are the symptoms of his grasp of life.
