Come in. Have a seat.
Whether we are meeting for the first time, or we have met and worked together previously; whether we are beginning our conversation, or it is ongoing; whether you feel anxious or depressed, stressed by urgent matters or crisis, or you are feeling at ease and thinking clearly, there are certain questions that are likely to be following you into the space that we will share for the hour:
“What will come up in our conversation?”
“How will that be?”
“Will I be understood?”
“Will I be helped?”
I view psychotherapy as essentially a collaborative undertaking; therefore you hold part of the answer to all the previous questions.
If you are seeking help, and you recognize that therapy may provide needed emotional support and comfort; that it may provide valuable insight into your Self and your life experience; that it may provide some needed direction for your thinking and behavior, and that you alone cannot fully provide these resources to yourself, entirely by yourself or through the help of friends and family:
then you are a motivated and already able collaborator in the process of therapy.
I invite you to contact me so that we can discuss how we may work together.

More About My Practice
I believe that when persons feel psychologically challenged or distressed, or they experience themselves as troubled; when they find themselves unable to move beyond a negative or painful situation or toward a promising future, then they have probably come to a needed reckoning and a promising shifting point in their lives. In my view, nothing in this separates them fundamentally from other gifted and capable persons who may not be seeking and receiving professional help at this moment.
Your difficulties in living do not define you, nor do they diminish the whole of your identity. Whatever the discomfort and pain they may cause, your problems have provided an opportunity for you to seek and receive help. I therefore view them as necessary guideposts, indispensable to the positive outcomes of our work.
Through the collaborative undertaking which is psychotherapy, I can guide you toward a better understanding of yourself and how you have lived; toward greater acceptance and valuation of your essence, and hence, a better fit within your life, present and future.
