Philosophy:
If you feel hopeless or unsupported, or you feel depressed or anxious...or if your husband or wife or partner isn't willing to talk about problems; there's professional, supportive, empathic, and good-humored help available, developed through decades of experience. I help couples with low to high conflict, including infidelity, who may want to save--or simply improve--their relationship. I also have extensive experience and training in treating anxiety, panic, stress, anger, depression, and alcohol and drug problems. I take satisfaction in successful outcomes with clients who believed therapy could never help (I'm also LGBT friendly).
I work with women and men who struggle with emotional intimacy, to accept their own complexity, rediscover and value their natural depth, and to learn practical relationship skills. This approach is a product of many years in private practice, and as supervising therapist in an outpatient clinic and psychiatric hospital.
