I believe that human beings are strong and resilient.  We’re also are creatures of habit, and sometimes the habits can get in the way of our well being.  No matter what the challenges we currently face, we can use our naturally given strengths and resources to move through difficult experiences.

A successful therapeutic relationship begins and ends with connection and trust.  Always client-focused, I help clients flourish so they can live their best lives. I combine supportive compassion and authenticity with gentle and targeted direction, a combination that truly gets results [read more about my therapeutic approach and clinical experience here].

Many people appear successful on the outside but are crying on the inside. Are you fortunate in so many ways, yet feel sad and empty?  I can help. Together we will develop a plan and set goals that meet your needs.

You can stop the cycle of repetition, ending circular arguments about finances, loyalty, and emotional connection.  You can modify recurring problematic feelings and behaviors.  You can develop effective communication in relationships. You can successfully navigate life’s many transitions.  We will find your strengths and use them to help you shed light on how you to think, respond, and behave. Old unwelcome patterns will be discarded and you will be truly successful.

Insurance

While I do not participate in-network with managed care plans, most insurance carriers will provide partial reimbursement for both private or group services on an out-of-network basis.  I am happy to provide you with a receipt or to provide any assistance possible in filing paperwork.  I also do electronic billing to speed up reimbursement through out of network benefits.

I offer phone consultations for those who cannot come into the office.  Please contact me for more information.
