I believe therapy should be a short-term experience that supports real change. I am excited to be your guide and provide you with a therapeutic experience that is tailored to YOU. I work with clients ages 4 and up with unique and fun offerings for each age group.

I believe in an individualized approach to counseling/therapy. People often contact me for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, and other life transitions. To me, each situation is unique.
My being a good listener as well as offering a variety of "psychological tools" are both important. For example, tools might include new skills in communication such as better ways to handle conflict or manage difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, envy or guilt.
Providing a safe, supportive and confidential place to discuss difficult issues is essential. I also believe strongly in building on people's strengths.

When marriages fail, it is not increasing conflict that is the cause. It is decreasing affection and emotional responsiveness."- Sue Johnson, author of "Hold Me Tight." I help couples create emotional safety, heal past hurts, and learn to take emotional risks. Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) is a revolutionary approach to relationship therapy because it's not just about teaching couples to communicate differently, but instead about guiding them towards a new experience of themselves and each other. Relationships change and grow when we experience our partner in a new way and we learn to be responsive. I can help.

I have been in the healing profession for 30+ years. Through my work as an energy psychotherapist over the past decade, I have witnessed dramatic changes in my clients lives. I use a variety of healing modalities, coupled with a traditional therapeutic approach. In my experience, energy work alone will often relieve or eliminate emotional or physical symptoms. Combining this with therapy provides us with an understanding of why we act in destructive ways, the opportunity to re-evaluate those decisions and provide tools necessary to break free from old, limiting beliefs. The desired outcome is to create positive lasting change.

It's certainly not easy to keep all the "plates spinning" all the time, is it? We all get discouraged, distracted or thrown off track sometimes, especially when we have big changes happening. Counseling can help you learn new strategies to stay focused on what's important. I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and changes that come with age.

Life can be really amazing. It can also feel equally challenging and confusing. Work concerns. Relationship worries. Motherhood and midlife. A desire to feel fulfilled, but feeling overwhelmed instead. We often fear that if life feels hard, we must be doing something wrong. But the reality is sometimes life truly is difficult...and we feel it. For more than two decades, I have worked with individuals seeking more out of life, but who are feeling stifled due to difficult situations, feelings, or beliefs. Whether you find yourself navigating anxiety, depression, or a challenging crossroads or transition, I welcome hearing from you.

Good therapy is not just talking, its about taking action in your day to day life. I love to teach practical, everyday skills to elicit rapid change. Working with me will be like taking a class in YOU.

I believe that we all have an innate capacity for healing and growth. Therapy allows us to tune into our strengths and our inner resilience. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed perspective where I strive to facilitate a safe and collaborative environment in which to explore healthier ways of being. I also believe that a relationship based on a foundation of trust is important so you feel comfortable to explore deeply personal issues, develop self-awareness, and embark on the process of personal growth.

I believe in the basic goodness of all humans, no exceptions. I am honored to sit with couples as they build their trust, & strengthen their love, commitment & true understanding of how ‘to be with each other’. Intimacy requires vulnerability; risky but doable with courage & curiosity while feeling safe. I get to see soft, smiling eyes increasingly shared & I love when a couple says their children are noticing. My work is inspired by my connection with my husband Steven, by neuroscience, mindfulness, spirituality& body centered work. The body doesn't lie, we must learn its language. The mind, to protect us, will hide certain truths.

I have openings for 2-hour parenting consultations. Parenting consultations are designed to assist parents in feeling more connected to their children and more effective in their parenting. These sessions can be more directive than psychotherapy, although collaboration is essential to identify the function of behaviors and engage in creative problem-solving. My goal is to leave parents feeling validated and supported, recognizing that parents are the true experts on their own children. We value and normalize the needs and emotions of parents to increase confidence and self-compassion. Please view website for details.

Most of us develop ways of seeing and engaging the world through 'habits of mind' which may create suffering, lead to anxieties, depression, negative self image, or unsatisfying relationships. Sometimes suffering emerges because of a particular stress in our lives; sometimes it has been a long unwanted companion we can't shake. With guidance and personal effort, we can discover and gradually free ourselves from self-defeating habits of mind. Individuals who may especially benefit from my approach are those who would glimpse beneath the surface of temporary symptoms to the enduring habits of mind which get in our way.

I work with adult individuals and with couples of all ages and stages of relationships. Perhaps a recent event in your life has produced anxiety or sadness or a rupture in a relationship. Or perhaps you have a nagging sense that life could be better, that something is holding you back, or you are confused about some of your feelings and longings. Or maybe you have trauma which has lurked in the background for a long time and you are wondering if it would help to look into it but you are a bit hesitant. These are all areas we can work on together.

Move to the next level in your life and relationships. Learn how to be happier, more content, and more forgiving of yourself and others. Find more peace in your mind and at home. By learning Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, and by focusing on overall health and wellness, my clients often see noticeable improvement within a handful of sessions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I treat a wide range of psychological and emotional issues and I have extensive experience in family, couple's, and individual therapy.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
