About

Years of this work have shown me that people do not resist change; they resist being changed by someone who has not bothered to understand them first. So I begin by understanding. Mood stability is buildable, and I say that as someone who has watched clients build it season after season. The heaviness that settles in during low stretches deserves treatment, not a lecture about gratitude. Emotion regulation skills form the spine of our work together. You will have a roadmap from the early weeks, because wandering is a poor treatment plan. I notice the quiet arithmetic women do before letting themselves need anything. My Jewish upbringing gave me deep respect for wrestling with hard questions rather than rushing toward tidy answers. I spent some years in administration before returning to clinical practice; the detour made me certain of where I belong. Whether you are returning to therapy after a break or considering it for the first time, I would be pleased to meet you.
