Individual, Couple & Family Therapy

I maintain a diverse practice working with people in English and Spanish who seek assistance for a wide array of concerns/hopes related to:

Depression Anxiety Stress Anger Grief/Loss Trauma

Relationships Parenting Life-transitions Divorce Care giving LGBTQ

Self-esteem/Self-Worth Guilt/Shame Identity Alcohol/Drugs School/Work Performance Conduct Problems

In addition to helping with recent and long-standing concerns or difficulties, therapy can also play an important role in personal growth, providing clarity and purpose, and developing one’s spirituality.

Therapy is most effective when there is a “good fit” between oneself and the therapist. I am thoughtful, interactive, empathic, and insightful. People find me easy to relate to.

The people with whom I work continually demonstrate the capacity that all of us have for healing, feeling better, having fulfilling relationships, and living joyfully.

My work is informed by a variety of approaches I utilize in order to address each person’s unique situation. I tend to draw mostly from Contemporary Psychodynamic theories like: Object-relations, Self-psychology, Control-Mastery, and Relational theory because of the depth of understanding they provide and their capacity to bring about deep, lasting change.

 

It is the quality of our understanding,

that provides us with the right method at critical times. - Selma Fraiberg
