Imagine actually ENJOYING therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals. Since therapy is an intense process that tackles intense issues, we believe it should also include authenticity (on our part), humor, and flexibility. We love working with college students and are energetic, creative, and hands-on. We'll work together to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals. Our...

I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. ...

My therapeutic approach is direct and compassionate. Patients often tell me that I “keep it real.” I tend to be more vocal than traditional therapists. I seek to help my patients better understand their experiences by considering family of origin, core beliefs, values and cultural influences. With this knowledge, I believe, it is much easier to identify solutions and change harmful patterns of behavior. My specialties include treating eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa an...
