Psychotherapy is about building relationships. In seeking a therapist, it's important to find one who "gets you"; is able to understand your unique way of relating to the world and to others in your life. My goal is to be accepting of who you are, to help you better understand patterns in your life that are holding you back. I seek to create an environment where you can develop trust, feel safe, respected, cared for. Psychotherapy can be scary and requires a commitment on the part of both the therapist and the client. Although the road is sometimes painful, we travel through it together.I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 40 years. I've worked in out-patient psychiatry clinics, family service agencies and in children's day treatment facilities. Trained in psychodynamic, relational, mindfulness, family and cognitive behavioral treatment, I'm comfortable providing both long-term or brief psychotherapy.My practice is based on connections I build with my clients. I create a safe and supportive space where they feel heard and can address patterns in their lives that are no longer effective. Together we work towards change. Healing and change is a team effort. I'll look forward to teaming up with you.
