All humans seek happiness and answers to the vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions.I can help you find means of engaging with these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection. Philosophy is the heart of this therapeutic process. From time immemorial, philosophers have thought about anxiety, grief, and depression, as a way to living a better life. My task is to bring the wisdom of the ages, acquired by individuals like you and me, to bear on our deepest problems.

Are you challenged by your child's behavior? Struggling through depression or a loss? Fighting with your partner or family? Do you feel like something in your life has got to change, but you don't know what to do?

I am a couple, family, and individual therapist with over tweleve years in the field of mental health and would love the opportunity to help you discover the answers to make those changes.

I see therapy as a way to enable you to find empowerment to achieve your goals and the life you want. I help you to do this with a primary focus on relationships, not only relationships with others but the most important relationship; the one you have with YOURSELF.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief & loss, relationship issues, and supporting parents and families blessed by yet struggling with a difficult child.

I approach my therapeutic work with warmth, curiosity, humor, openness, and respect for differences. My work with clients is informed by my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment research, neurobiology, and a range of evidenced-based therapeutic modalities. I help clients develop greater awareness of their role in the relational web of their life. This awareness empowers people to live a more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling life. Even if you are not primarily concerned about the relationships in your life, but simply want to improve your self-esteem, work on reducing compulsive behavior, or address anxiety or depression, therapy can be helpful.
