Are you feeling held back in aspects of your life because of anxiety, depression, a lack of self-confidence, worries about performing sexually, relationship difficulties, problems with family members, or feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of divorce?

Therapy can help you become unstuck by enabling you to overcome whatever is blocking you and lead to you resolving your symptoms, healing from past trauma, approaching life with confidence, and establishing relationships characterized by a strong sense of connection, mutual responsiveness, and the ability to resolve conflict constructively.I'm a Clinical Psychologist who has been practicing for over 35 years.

You deserve treatment that is effective, facilitates healing, and leads to positive outcomes in the shortest amount of time possible. I am committed to providing therapy that lives up to this standard, that leaves you feeling deeply understood and guided in directions that help you have a fuller and richer experience of yourself, your feelings, and your relationships.
Psychotherapy aims to help people achieve this by helping individuals overcome the internal blocks that are interfering with their capacity to fully experience their feelings, to feel confident about themselves, to feel comfortable asserting their needs and desires with others, to establish and sustain mutually enriching relationships, and to be able to be fully engaged and present in the aspects of their lives that matter to them.
Therapy can help you identify negative interactional cycles and the feelings that lead you and your partner to approach each other in ways that keep these cycles going. Understanding this can help you and your partner keep from getting caught up in these cycles, address any underlying needs that are being unmet, and forge a closer, more intimate connection.
We grow up in a culture that discourages children from expressing their curiosity about sex. This can lead us as adults to experience shame when discussing sexual issues and make it difficult to feel comfortable expressing our sexual desires to our partners. When talking about sex is already uncomfortable it can feel particularly challenging to talk about sexual issues with a professional.
Have conflicts between you and other family members become intractable or are the usual ways of getting along with one another no longer working?. Then family therapy might be of help. It can facilitate repair, improved understanding, and greater responsiveness between you and other family members.

Report
This therapist’s work with couples is concerning; my dear friend and her partner went to him during a difficult time in their relationship; he would stir up very intense emotions, which may be necessary, but, would end the session and send them away without any wrapping up or de-escalation, their wounds way open. When they asked for help he said, “ you will have to figure it out yourselves”. They had to discontinue because it was too upsetting.
I would be wary opening up to him given this experience
