Seeking help is not an easy decision. Although, this first step might lead you to a positive resolution of those daily problems that are causing you stress, anxiety, and depression. Having someone who can listen to you without judging and helping you reach better functioning and goals is worthy. Do not delay seeking help; you will be relieved that you did. We also provide consultation on many issues such as College/school learning disability petitions, legal problems, and employment conflicts among other life issues. We also do life coaching.

Is anxiety or OCD getting in the way of the life you want to lead? I use evidenced-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - the "gold standard" of anxiety treatment - to help people overcome panic, worry, phobias, and OCD. In therapy with me, you will learn how anxiety hijacks your brain and body and how you can stop it from getting the upper hand. Learn more at rpaTherapy.com.

Experiencing relationship conflict or career stress? Want to learn healthy communication skills? Struggling with anxiety or depression? Feeling stuck but not sure therapy is for you? I can help because I've been there too. Years ago a painful breakup motivated me to go to therapy, which helped so much that I eventually left an unfulfilling career to become a therapist myself. I can help you find relief, get unstuck, and make changes to create the life you really want. I can also teach you self-care practices like meditation, healthy communication strategies, and other skills.

There are moments in life when things feel overwhelming and we struggle to find the answers to how to move forward. This can sometimes make us feel stressed, stuck, angry, anxious, or depressed. These feelings can also end up affecting our relationships, work, or life in general. I am a therapist who works collaboratively to find ways to help you explore what's happening in a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental environment. We'll work together to help you realize and build on your existing strengths and develop new emotional and behavioral strategies, especially self-compassion.

No matter our background or experience, we all hit a bump in the road at one point or another. Navigating challenging and stressful life events such as infertility, parenthood, academic and work transitions, relationships, trauma, chronic illness is complicated. Intense feelings of anxiety, panic, or depression may seem overwhelming an at times, we turn to short term solutions, such as procrastination, alcohol, etc, which lead us in the wrong direction. Working with clients I focus on clarifying what is important and meaningful in life and how to take steps to actively move in that direction - even when faced with challenges.

You need to talk to someone. You're in a stressful place in your life. Not only is your desire for clarity and comfort at its peak, your need to find the right therapist is a leap of faith. Seeing me, you may find our sessions to be empowering, challenging, yet comfortable, and at times humorous. You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that are no longer working for you. Many with whom I work find a significant lift by learning to cope with anxiety and depression, without the need for medication.

I believe that the relationships that people share are a gift to humanity. I aim to help clients enjoy that gift to the fullest. What I bring to each session is therapeutic knowledge and experience, while the ideal clients bring the will to change. The combination of these elements provides the best chance for healing and growth. Passionately, I have found fulfillment and success assisting survivors of sexual trauma, verbal and physical abuse, and emotional manipulation. I help individual clients; yet many of the couples that I work with include one or both partners who seek help recovering from these experiences.

A patient wrote this to me: "You are someone who knows the song in my heart, and could sing it back to me when I had forgotten the words." In my over 27 years of psychotherapy practice, I have learned several things: one is, in meeting with patients, to clear my mind (at least to try hard!) of all the theories and clinical orientations I have absorbed and to allow my emotions, mind, body, and considerable life experience to be present in our interactions.
