People come to see me because they have a problem. Often, they feel stuck. I help individuals, couples, and groups become more aware of what they are experiencing so they can lead more satisfying, meaningful, and creative lives.

Both coaching and psychotherapy are a studio for the soul, nurturing greater awareness in a spirit of openness, non-judgment, and deep listening.

Psychotherapy offers a deep dive into ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore, grow, and move beyond repetitions that aren't working for us. I provide psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy to adult and adolescent patients, with a focus on identity, relationship, and creativity issues.

Coaching offers a strategic, practical approach for understanding and resolving problems. Usually shorter term than therapy, coaching provides perspective and guidance for addressing goals and challenges. Issues I have assisted clients with include team cohesion, project organization, writer’s block, relationship conflict, grief, and recurring dreams.
