Many of my clients come to therapy for help in getting along better with people. It may be with their partner or spouse, friend or parent or boss - but they are experiencing a painful disconnection. I believe our need for attachment is human and universal and that much of the pain in our lives is from when there’s disconnection in that experience. I’ve also come to believe that the therapeutic...

I enjoy working with adults who suffer from low self esteem, anxiety, codependency, depression, and problem behaviors such as eating problems, self injury, isolation.

With...
