Find a Therapist

Psychotherapy can help you come to understand the story of your life. Once you have understanding, you can be more compassionate toward yourself. You can discover new strategies that help you manage your life more effectively. This is your life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy will help you make the most of it.

Many clients entering therapy wonder, “How can only talking help me?” The increased sense of well-being we gain in therapy is more than just a worded experience.

People work with me because I am a caring person who loves her job. Working with individuals who have experienced trauma and other challenges, being there for them at every step, is my passion.

Many people gain personal insights through the practice of writing, painting, or other art forms. Similarly, psychotherapy can give us a window into unknown facets of ourselves.

“Human beings have an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed, the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree.“ – Irvin D. Yalom,The Gift of Therapy

Therapy is an important exchange that aims to help make use of our mindful and experiential wisdom. It offers resources and new ways of being to turn seemingly impossible situations such as life transitions, trauma, employment-based or relational conflict and injustice into ones in which we can find integration and dignity.

If you are an individual or couple looking for help with navigating life’s challenges or healing—or perhaps are in the midst of a crisis—I create a safe, non-judgmental, empathic setting.

Therapy can help you feel better, think clearer, and live life to the fullest. It can even help you open up to love and be more creative. If you and your partner or family are struggling, I can create a safe space for you to talk things through. I’ll help you communicate openly, work through problems, and build stronger relationships

If you find yourself dissatisfied with your life or merely going through the motions of living, you may benefit from psychotherapy. A strong therapeutic alliance can help anchor you and prevent you from sliding toward impulsive tendencies.

“A journey of 100 miles begins with one step.” Welcome to the first step! It takes courage to seek therapy. We do so when stresses, negative thought patterns, and emotions block the life we want.

Everyone struggles with something, even if they don’t show it. Struggling alone is no way to live! And there is no shame in needing help, as humans don’t thrive alone. Psychotherapy can help you find your way to a greater sense of self and wellbeing.

Our bodies are our first source of support in this life. When trauma disrupts our connection to our body wisdom, access can be restored through self-awareness, meaningful human contact, and our bodies’ own power of self-regulation.

Relationships can run into turbulent times. Whehther you are facing a crisis as a couple, or seeking personal growth and new insights, or need to change things up and fall in love again talking things over with your partner in a safe, non-judgmental, confidential setting can be life altering.

Therapy is a process of supported inquiry. It is powerful work—it can help us shift from merely coping with life’s challenges to feeling more fully alive.

How are you feeling about your life, your career, your relationships, your dreams? Longing to feel more clear, calm, hopeful and alive? I offer a highly effective neuro-biologically based approach to psychotherapy. Over time, this method enables clients to establish an internal stability, a sustainable optimism and a sense of forward momentum.

Exploring who we are and what is happening within us doesn’t need to be a journey that is undertaken on our own.

Understanding our lives and our experiences, as shaped by our backgrounds, can be challenging. The ways we understand those experiences and their meanings are malleable!

More than a treatment for your emotional suffering, psychotherapy is also a tool for deepening your experience, for engaging with the challenges of living, and for catalyzing your potential.

D.W. Winnicott, a renowned English analyst, put the therapeutic project simply and elo-quently: “…the foundations of mental health of the adult are laid down in infancy and child-hood”.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support.

In therapy, we explore who you are and who you aren’t, with curiosity and non-judgment. Knowing yourself and understanding how you relate to yourself and others can relieve suffering, and help you find greater freedom to create the life that you want.

Psychotherapy can be a transformational experience of self-discovery. This work can generate new strength rooted in your expanding self-awareness. As a catalyst of change, therapy supports your efforts to identify patterns that are no longer serving you and to reconnect with yourself in a new, compassionate way.
