Being in a committed relationship is one of the most rewarding, yet challenging experiences that human beings can have. By their very nature, commitment and the experience of loving present us with a never-ending series of growth opportunities. One of the fundamental forces of a committed relationship is to challenge people to grow and mature, and to develop an ever-increasing ability to tolerate intimacy.

 

Are you stuck in feelings of disappointment, hurt, loneliness, and uncertainty? Are you unhappy and unsure of how to make positive changes in your relationships? Do you want to find the courage necessary to make your life more satisfying?

 

Achieving positive change requires that we proactively make different choices in our lives. I help my clients find and develop the understanding and strength needed to make different, healthier choices and to positively change behaviors, so that they can have more satisfying lives and relationships.

I provide:

  • Couples, Family, Individual, and Group psychotherapy for adults and adolescents

I specialize in:

  • Intimacy and Connection
  • Sexuality and Sexual Difficulties
  • Self-Esteem and Personal Growth
  • Infidelity and Trust
  • Unhealthy forms of self-soothing

 

I would be happy to talk with you about how I can help you make positive changes in your life. Please contact me for more information, or to schedule a consultation.
