Your life can be happier and feel more fulfilling! I specialize in relationships and therapy for both couples and individuals. Let me guide you to find better self-awareness and clarity as you understand and change your negative cycles and old patterns. My twenty-five years of experience, using insight oriented therapy, will enable you to improve your interpersonal communication with your mate, family and co-workers. I will help you develop strategies that will enhance your relationships, thus making them more fulfilling.

I am a clinical social worker working in the field of relational therapy for over thirty years. I believe that we are all hard wired for connection with others but that often experiences and traumas from the past interfere with one's ability to have healthy, growth enhancing relationships with others and with oneself. Using relational therapy, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, I work with people to enable them to find their way into healthy connection with themselves and with others in their lives.

I'm a Psychotherapist in Private Practice for 40+ years, with an enduring capacity to blend psychological/spiritual principles and practices, women's health rights & power, and often help cultivate the willingness to break through thought/behavior patterns to experience real change. We often live our lives as though we're trying to measure up to other's expectations, failing to make choices that are our own. My passion is to help people to break that spell, choosing for themselves how to live the life they are meant to live, not the lives others want them to live. This is a serious intentional and joint process to join.

The choice to start psychotherapy, though difficult, can also prove exciting in that it offers the opportunity to heal, instill hope, and improve an understanding of oneself and others. My clients tell me that I possess a calm and warm demeanor and that I make them feel heard and not judged. I provide a safe and respectful space for individuals and families to process their experiences. Together, clients and I can explore concerns, collaborate to find solutions, and discover ways to better address and cope with new stressors if and when they arise.

With compassion and caring I will really listen to you, to understand your struggles and strengths and support your well-being. It is important to feel safe and supported to do personal exploration and deal with life challenges. We will work together and I bring sensitivity, compassion, support, and respect for your individual needs and pace. As an active therapist able to draw upon eclectic ways of working, which can include use of creative expression, I can help you to know, express, and accept yourself, gain perspective, learn new skills and ways of relating.

My work with adolescents, families, and adults spans over twenty years. I believe in the innate strengths within people while also appreciating the need for assistance during the challenges and losses presented throughout life. Working from a relational model and believing that the present moment offers potential for new growth and healing, I am honored to be present for each client as they achieve their desired goals. By co-creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity, I assist individuals in reaching their highest potentials.

I respect why people seek therapy. Work begins with the truth of their stated problem. People describe undesirable patterns in career/work and relationships. I help people connect current problems to deficits or traumas in early life, or situations that interrupted their own early development. I help people discover, talk about, and grieve these early situations. The therapeutic action is the exploration of the link between early situations and the current problem. I help people create new experiences of themselves in work, everyday stressful situations, and in love relationships. The outcome: freedom to create a satisfying life and future.

I am currently accepting new patients. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders with young adults and adults. Clients and colleagues describe me as a thoughtful, warm professional with a good sense of humor. I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each client, and my goal is to provide a supportive atmosphere where we can work towards your goals effectively. My primary training is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which I integrate with insight-oriented therapy and other evidence-based treatment modalities.

I believe strongly in that true happiness comes from inner strength within ourselves and my goal is to help my clients reach the goals they want to be committed to. An ideal client for me would be someone who has anxiety and could not get over the past or someone who is suffering from depression. I have helped many clients of mine overcome severe anxiety/depression and improve life quality.

From the very first session, I collaborate with clients and families to address their current challenges so that they can bring greater joy, peace, and acceptance into their lives. So often, our difficulties stem from unhealthy, long-standing patterns that weave through development and influence how we see ourselves, relationships, & the world around us. I help clients to deepen their understanding of their challenges and strengths in order to more effectively reach their goals.

I have a concentration of clients among college age students, and young adults. I specialize in eating disorders, and related issues. I also have a strong background in the performing arts, and see a significant number of creative clients. For twelve years I worked in a college counseling center. This has afforded me the opportunity to work with students who struggle with the concerns of people in their late teens, early twenties: depression; anxiety; ADD; OCD; substance abuse (as well as the more common issues surrounding living away from home, roommates, academic rigor, awaking sexual identity, etc.)

Is your child struggling, anxious, or depressed? Are you unhappy in your life, in your relationships, or in your work? Are you held back by sadness, anxiety, or lack of fulfillment? Are you unable to take action? I am experienced in working with people to overcome these problems in their or their children's lives. People who work with me greatly appreciate the improvement in their lives and the understanding they gain about their difficulties.

If you have difficulty with professional or academic advancement, establishing or sustaining intimate relationships-if habitual behavioral patterns (i.e. inhibitions, anxiety, impulsiveness, lack of assertion or self-esteem) are interfering with achieving your goals, speaking with a therapist can help you discover why. I am an experienced clinician with extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I see adults in weekly psychotherapy and multiple sessions per week are available to individuals interested in engaging in a deeper therapeutic dialogue.

If you find yourself asking deeper questions about what really matters to you, what gives your life meaning and purpose despite having done all you "should," psychotherapy can be extremely helpful and supportive as you how determine how to go forward, better. We'll talk about creating and living a life more aligned to what you imagine it could be. For clients who want to make change in how to eat well, sleep 7 hours, do regular physical activity, and effectively manage stress, my certification as a Lifestyle Medicine specialist enables me to knowledgeably help you in becoming your healthiest self.

Hello there and welcome! I am a highly relational therapist and collaborative guide who values cultivating curiosity, laughter, and meaningful dialogue with my clients. A clinical social worker by training, I very much enjoy navigating the intersection of psychology, social justice, spirituality, and mind-body intuitive practices. My expertise spans the entire spectrum of mental health conditions, with a specialization in somatic therapies, anxiety disorders and Complex PTSD.

It's hard to generalize about effective psychotherapy because "the devil is in the details," by which I mean that the more specific, personal and tailored to the individual the therapy is, the more likely that it will help. Many patients are rightly skeptical about "quick-fix," "one-size-fits-all" treatments, but it is also problematic to be so skeptical that we believe that nothing works. In my 20+ years of experience, I have seen people make changes that reward them over time, and I believe in those changes.

I seek to create a safe and nurturing environment which supports healing and growth. I have an eclectic approach that is tailored to each individual client and what feels most helpful in the moment. I make use of Psychodynamic insight oriented psychotherapy, CBT, the Expressive Arts, Focusing, Relaxation Training and more, within a Holistic/Mindfulness and Strength-Based approach. I work with adults and children. I support adults through: life transitions, grief, relationship struggles, women's issues, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, being an adult child of an alcoholic or other dysfunction, young adult identity issues, stress management and more. I am LGBT friendly.

Do you want to go beyond the limits of conventional psychotherapy to heal the deepest roots of your emotional struggles? I'd love to help. In my practice, I bring together somatic (body -centered), trauma and energy based therapies in a unique model that creates more effective healing than talk therapy alone. This integrative approach helps you uncover & release the deep unconscious lifelong "Bodymind Patterns" that live in the psyche AND body & can perpetuate unhappiness and keep you stuck or returning over & over to the same struggles, anxiety, shame, depression, unfulfilling relationships, low self esteem disconnection and pain.

I offer client centered therapy to individuals seeking relief from suffering or assistance overcoming barriers to success. I work with people to manage difficult relationships, cope with traumatic events, explore spiritual questions, address substance abuse, and for personal and professional development. I often work with college students with various emotional and academic concerns. Emailing me is the best way to schedule an initial session.
