Great to meet you!

Does your life experience contain unwanted problems and pain? Do the same patterns keep repeating? Would you like to feel more empowered to create a better life? After helping hundreds of people over the past 20 years, I can offer an approach that goes far beyond just talk therapy. I began my career as a Yale family therapist, which gave me a big-picture understanding of how a person's challenges during their growing-up years in their family can turn into difficulties that keep repeating in their adulthood. As your therapist, I accept you as you are and as we work together to empower you to unleash your best self.

My approach to therapy

Helping people make rapid and lasting changes with compassion and understanding using cutting-edge approaches such as EMDR, IFS, NLP & BrainSpotting has become my specialty. I also have a niche specialty: helping parents experiencing parental alienation. For these clients, I can help you better understand, manage, and cope with your specific situation.
