"As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves,
we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

I help individuals and couples live the best lives possible through their relationships and self-reflection.
  Relationships are key to human happiness - whether they are with yourself, your parents or caregivers, children, friends, lover, spouse, partners, co-workers, family, or others.    Relationships can also be at the root of human suffering, stress, depression, anxiety, and dysfunction.  I live with the philosophy that today is the only certainty.  Living in the present forces us to look at what we cherish, what we fear, and especially, the question that is most difficult to ask ourselves:  

How can I improve my life and my relationships through self-reflection and personal growth?



My Approach
My practice is based upon the idea that every person has the power to positively transform oneself and one's relationships.  All relationships can be enriched including every day interactions with people we meet in the supermarket, connections we form when negotiating business transactions, and intimate bonds we share with our relatives and partners.

Many times people see a psychologist because they simply want to talk to someone, or someone outside of a difficult situation like relationships, divorce or marital conflict.  Other times people need help that is more on-going or specific to a mood or emotional issue like depression or anxiety.  I integrate m
ultiple therapeutic techniques, ways of healing, and teachings with my clients.  Every person is different and every relationship is unique. I work with each client to design a short or long-term approach that best works with their goals.


Why Therapy
Some people may find going to see a psychologist challenging if they have never been before.  Others may question the idea of needing therapy when they have close friends or family to confide in every day.  Friends and family are excellent sources of healing and support.  At the same time, therapy offers people a place to talk with an objective person who may give them a different perspective outside of their immediate circle – without attachment to the history of the relationship, without judgment, and with the capability to teach them the tools necessary to cope more effectively on their own.  Getting help or asking for the support of another person takes courage.  I am here to answer any question you might have, and will do my best to make this experience what you are looking for.

The aim of therapy is to provide a non-judgmental,
safe place for you to explore how you have experienced yourself in this world; feel truly understood; and finally - with the communication and conflict resolutions skills acquired through our work together –
 
evolve the way you live and relate for the better.
