We are a relational center. Relational psychotherapy is an integrative form of therapy, born from a combination of several therapeutic theories and practices.

Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, growing to become a widely used theoretical...

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 approach is relaxed and individualized and I like to use humor where appropriate. I love working with women who may look like they have their shit together from a distance, but behind the mask they wear for others, they are filled with self-doubt, worry, and are chronic over-thinkers. They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...
