Psychotherapy can help to overcome a wide array of life's challenges

We all experience periods of different types of depression. Prolonged phases of sadness and hopelessness accompanied by difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite or eating, lack of motivation, and a loss of enjoyment in activities that usually bring pleasure can signify a clinical depression. Our work will help you alleviate depression and find ways to create a happier life.

Anxiety can hold you back from living a rich full life.. I understand how problems get expressed by anxiety and panic. Drawing on the healing power of our therapeutic relationship, you will learn new patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that minimize anxiety. When we get your symptoms under control, we can explore and resolve what brought about the anxiety in the first place.

Navigating dating and relationships can be daunting. Often, the person you choose to date has both the positive and negative qualities of the folks who raised you. As a result, you may find yourself repeating old disappointments and frustrations in your current relationships. Intimacy may seem to elude you altogether. If you're in a relationship, you may benefit from learning new communication skills that can enhance your experience of intimacy.  By exploring the dynamics of your current and past relationships, we can identify and explore old wounds that get in the way of finding or keeping love.

Whether you are just starting to come out or have been out for many years, it’s important that you work with a therapist who understands the unique gifts and complexities of sexual orientation and gender identity, someone who affirms lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lives. I am deeply committed to the LGBTQ communities and understand the challenge of living in a culture that can be hostile to your core identity. I have many years of experience working with LGBTQ individuals, couples, and families. My practice is a safe and trustworthy space in which I welcome you to  bring your whole self.

Are you making decisions about substance use that just don’t feel right? Are friends or family questioning your drinking or drug use? Is your using spinning out of control? Maybe under the influence you’re making sexual decisions you told yourself you never would make. You’re feeling confused and don’t know where to turn. I can help assess whether or not your using has become problematic. Together, we can figure out what route will help you make positive change.

Dating and relationships, sorting through the wreckage of your past, healing family ties, finding a fulfilling career, working through that feeling of  being stuck — these are only some of the issues people living  in recovery face after they have learned to live free from active addiction. As an addiction recovery specialist, I can help you travel the “bridge back to life" in a way that will bring the most fulfillment in your life.

How we express our sexuality, regardless of orientation, is deeply personal. There can be a compulsive urge to seek out or use sex obsessively, without regard for the potential harm to the important parts of our life. People who experience out of control sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity and sex addiction invariably have feelings of shame due to the frustration of not being able to change behaviors that aren't working. These are treatable conditions. There is hope for the person who has the courage to seek help.  I have trained with the leaders in the field and am uniquely qualified to help integrate a healthy and positive sexuality in to your life.
