Are you seeking better relationships, greater career success, or relief from emotional distress? I will work with you to overcome the obstacles to living the life you want. Understanding yourself and others in new ways can increase your ability to relate to people authentically and experience love. Reconsidering recurring patterns that once seemed inevitable or uncontrollable can help you eliminate self-defeating behaviors and discover new choices and options. Acquiring the psychological skills to direct your life more effectively can lead to making lasting changes. Developing your emotional intelligence can promote greater resilience, humor, and capacity for pleasure.

I specialize in working with adult females searching for personal empowerment, inner peace and self acceptance. None of us are immune to life struggles, fears and insecurities. It is not the challenges we face that define us, rather, how we cope with challenges. We are all on this journey together. Do you have the strength and courage to embrace your fantastically flawed humanity? I strive to create a warm and supportive therapy environment. I will challenge you and teach you to trust your inner voice and access your infinite supply of insight, wisdom and power. You already have the answers, it is just a matter of accessing them.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, or frustrated in your life, but aren't exactly sure why? My relational approach to therapy focuses on really getting to know you and your story, to help you to gain a better understanding of yourself, your emotions, and your goals. With this knowledge we can discover together how you can live your best life! My specialties include working with people who are feeling anxious/stressed, people struggling in their relationships (romantic or platonic), members of the LGBTQ* community, and college students. I also have years of experience working with visual and performing artists.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to help people confronting difficult issues to improve the quality of their lives. These difficulties often manifest in obstacles to relationship and career fulfillment. My intention is that both individuals and couples will leave each session with a new perspective on their life and and an enhanced understanding of themselves.

I have expertise in supporting individuals through a diverse array of challenges, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, life and career transitions, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals diagnosed as highly sensitive persons (HSPs). Drawing from a deep understanding of the unique traits and sensitivities associated with HSPs, I offer personalized and empathetic support customized to meet each client's individual needs.

I am committed to helping my patients understand and correct patterns that interfere with the realization of their personal and/or professional goals and living their life more fully. I treat individuals and couples and specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, addictions, life transitions, health concerns, unresolved trauma and parenting/step-parenting challenges. I also treat people who feel relatively sturdy and successful but are going through a period of notable stress when stretched beyond their capacity. I have a graduate degree from Columbia University and a four year postgraduate certification in psychoanalysis and comprehensive psychotherapy from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.

My therapeutic approach is based on the premise that the choices we make are greatly affected by the experiences we have had, and our experiences are greatly affected by the choices we have made. This is why it is difficult to get a clear sense of our (active or passive) role in any given situation. In therapy we aim to shed light on the way we have metabolized past negative experiences and seek to understand our relationships (or lack thereof) and our internal trepidations. The purpose of therapy is to rediscover and reaffirm our authentic voice and ultimately become a better version of ourselves.

A person seeks professional help when they feel unfulfilled and stuck, during a time of great loss/crisis or when they are experiencing relationship difficulties. Despite all efforts to handle this alone, they continue to experience a painful awareness that something significant is missing. I provide a empathic, non-judgmental and confidential environment in which we work together, at a comfortable pace, to identify/explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors which interfere with your reaching your maximum potential for happiness in your career and relationships. Through our work together, you will move toward healing and improving the quality of your life.

I am a therapist, focused on women's issues, who can help you bring joy, strength and tranquility into your life. I believe that all women have an enormous amount of inner strength which often gets lost as we take on the roles of mother, wife, caregiver, partner, and provider. As women, we often give so much of ourselves that our spirit and energy can get squashed leaving us feeling depressed and anxious.

Do you feel anxious, "less-than" or need help w/ relationships (or finding one), w/ sex, or work stress? Is now your time to live a more elegant life? Are you fearful that your relationship is in trouble or are you trying to recover from infidelity, seek improved intimacy, want to stop arguing (My TED Talk is about this!) or desire to enhance communication? Have health anxiety or want to prevent migraine? (I'm 27+ years migraine free!) If your answer is "Yes!" then I'd LOVE to help. I will help you to examine the thoughts, feelings and behaviors contributing to discomfort and teach you simple tools to secure SUCCESS!

I have great interest in, and years of experience working with people coping with a variety of life issues. In particular, I specialize in working with people who express psychological stress through their bodies. This can include eating issues,anxiety disorders,and post traumatic stress disorder.

I utilize a variety of approaches in my work with clients, while tailoring each treatment plan to the individual and incorporating the goals that each person brings to treatment. Each person is unique and that is why I choose an integrative approach in my work. I incorporate both interpersonal and psychodynamic modalities with cognitive behavioral treatments in an effort to target both insight building and positive behavioral changes.

Going through emotional distress and facing depression, anxiety, stress, or marriage struggles can take a toll on our mental and physical health. There are so many potential reasons leading us to want to embark on a therapeutic journey. Maybe something is going on in your life and your current behavioral patterns and coping strategies to manage challenges aren't working any longer. Or maybe there are struggles with a partner. I will work with you in discovering new ways toward a more fulfilling life, one with meaning and purpose. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I held a career in a highly competitive corporate sales environment.

My focus is to provide unwavering support for individuals on their journey towards well-being and personal growth. I place an emphasis on being fully present with clients, acknowledging your strengths, and empowering you to shape the therapy according to your unique style and needs. I am interested in your past and present to gain an understanding of the context in which you live and how it has shaped your worldview. Regardless of the magnitude or content of the changes you seek, my goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore your concerns and work towards your desired outcomes.

I became a therapist following a dream and my mission to help people navigate life. My goal is to help people find a true purpose and meaning in their life. We all strive to connect, be valued and appreciated and find a meaningful belonging with the people that are the most important in our lives. When that doesn't happen organically, we often experience distress and emotional disbalance. I help people reduce and eliminate these feelings and reconnect connections that are lost or missing. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults and couples.

Is depression or anxiety getting in the way? Are you feeling lost or alone? Can't seem to catch your breath or maybe catch a break? Is it difficult to put into words the way that you feel and you can't seem to connect? I believe I can help. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders with adults. I use mindfulness, CBT skills and ACT approaches to help my clients manage their discomfort and work toward their goals. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in clinical work.
