People seek therapy for many reasons. Often a personal struggle,
difficulty, or crisis opens the door to starting. I work with anxieties,
fears, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and depression.
People who see me usually feel stuck in some way but are motivated to
take charge and improve the quality of their lives, be it work,
relationships or adding meaning to one's life. My goal is to help you
achieve substantive, durable change. I offer a multi-stranded approach
that combines developmental psychology, attachment theory and
psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
I host a free Monday night discussion in my office with a different topic each week: Single Parenting, Parenting After Divorce, Step Parenting, Blended Families, Working Mothers of Young Children. Sign up or learn more about the meeting at www.meetup.com/Modern-Family-Life/ or contact me directly.
Below you will find my areas of specialty and some common thoughts and feelings many people are experiencing when they come to work with me. If some of these sound familiar to you, psychotherapy could be of use.
