Welcome.
I am an experienced therapist providing treatment for adults, adolescents and children, as young a 5 years of age. Although people call me for a wide range of reasons, the common concern is a persistent difficultly in an important area of their lives.
In a very real way, life is like a puzzle. There are many pieces to choose from and we try to find pieces that fit together smoothly. However, life can become troubling when what we have chosen doesn’t seem to fit and the same sorts of concerns seem to occur in one situation after another, making life frustrating and less fulfilling.
Together we can think about making more thoughtful decisions. Some individuals have urgent and critical situations that need immediate attention while others have a sense of being dissatisfied with life altogether. In either case, I listen closely to understand how either of these dilemmas may have developed so one can find a sense of freedom, creativity and pleasure in life.

Psychoanalysis
I work to help people understand why their troubles reoccur over and over again. I work by imagining out loud new ways of thinking that can bring a fresh sense of trust in their future.
Psychotherapy
Learning to live a contented life is an act of creation. Becoming more able to self-reflect brings a capacity to be thoughtful in stressful moments that allows more creative thinking to a more fulfilling life.
Child Therapy
My office becomes a therapeutic playground for a child’s fragile feelings when a their language is not adequately developed. I help them put words to their experience to promote emotional organization of their psycho-social development.
