As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am committed to providing quality professional services to individuals, couples and families. Each client is unique. Therefore, I incorporate a variety of modalities - CBT, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Solution Focused coupled with a collaborative approach to identify one's inherent strengths and desired goals. Specialities: Relationship/Marital Discord, Family Conflict, Racial Identity, Life Transitions, Women's Issues.

I want to help people discover, think about, give meaning to, and find compassion for, alienated parts of themselves that are repressed and forbidden, containing unmet needs, historic conflicts, and unfulfilled dreams. Reunion with these parts can help people better understand their current behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and develop options for changing old patterns in their relationships with themselves, partners, and work that were once effective defenses against psychological pain. Therapy helps us become more fully alive, creative, connected to others, and free to be ourselves with less, and perhaps more realistic, fear-- individually, in our families, cultures, and society.

In a quiet, comfortable and cosy garden - like office location, I work with clients on life transitions, parenting when parenting becomes a tiresome task finding the gift to raising a child. I am a certified anger consultant and grief counselor working with those experiencing the many forms of loss. In addition, I work with the special needs population and their families, socialization training, teaching sexual boundaries and safe practices, while remembering the siblings of those families who often inadvertently get lost in the efforts made to the special person.

I am a cognitive-behavioral psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., panic, agoraphobia, OCD (BTTI Certified), social and generalized anxiety). The clients I work with are seeking a treatment approach that equips them with tools to function more effectively at work, within interpersonal relationships, or to simply experience less distress in their daily lives. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an interactive, directive style of therapy with a primary focus on current issues. Once the anxiety has diminished, some of my clients choose to continue in therapy to work on other issues and concerns.

I received my Masters degree from Philips Graduate Institute in 2003, and have been providing services to children, couples, families, elders and adolescents in different settings such as Private Practice, hospitals, and Health Care centers.

Services: Life Coaching; Couple Therapy and Coaching; Family Therapy and Coaching; Hypnosis; Individual Therapy for Adolescents, Children, Elderly, Men and Women; Parenting; Family Therapy; Sex Therapy; Relationship and Intimacy; Stress Management, and so on.

Many of us recognize our lives lack fulfillment. We long for love, belonging and feelings of success. We crave peace of mind. Trauma and negative schemas often make achieving our goals difficult and we find ourselves right back where we started, as if in a loop. More than ever, we need someone to hear us. Luckily, Mental Health awareness has increased and you are in the right place to find help. My group practice includes myself and two other fantastic therapists, Ryan Muldoon AMFT and Gabrielle Amoils Pollak LMFT

Wether you struggle to restore perspective, calm and balance in your life, attempt to heal trauma, depression and anxiety, or seek to discover and pursue greater potential and purpose, I offer a safe, open, curious and non-judgemental place to do just that. Everything you think, feel, do and experience actually makes complete sense - we simply may need some time to understand and appreciate why it does. This growing awareness allows for better design of a life with purposeful future and relief from the past, offering real, actual choice rather than the apparent choice in repetitive, automatic and unconscious routines.

As a psychologist, my goal is to help you make lasting changes in your life. In a setting emphasizing compassion and kindness, I encourage you to work through areas where you are stuck. Together we will discover your resources to go beyond past and current traumas and troubled relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families. While my approaches vary with your needs and aspirations, the goal is to establish a trusting relationship that will help you find your own way to joy and fulfillment.

Thank you for considering therapy with me. I am looking forward in meeting you. You will find me to be flexible and sensitive. I enjoy helping individuals in achieving personal growth; in a caring & safe environment. Whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief/loss, sexual dysfunction, we can work together to resolve your issue and minimize your suffering. Your natural state of being is a gift and is what I work with in psychotherapy to bring out your hidden potentials to surface.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, to sort things out, especially when you're confused or feel stuck. I offer a safe place for you to get to the bottom of what's going on and get clearer about what you want, who you are and who you want to be.

I believe that our journeys, through life's experiences and struggles, make us who we are. My own life's journey has led me to my career as a psychotherapist, which allows me the opportunity, honor, and privilege, to work together with my clients to realize their own strengths, limitations, and to identify and achieve their goals. I believe this can take place, within a strong therapeutic relationship, built on non-judgment, trust, safety, and compassion.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and hold a PhD in Somatic Psychology (body psychology). This unique combination of credentials facilitates a focus on clients' cognitive process as well as mind-body health. I work with a diverse client base including women, men, couples and gender-diverse individuals on relationship and sexuality issues. My treatment specialties include: recovery of sexual health after sexual trauma, sexless marriages/relationships, compulsive sexuality (often called "addiction") and non-traditional sexual expression including fetishes and redefining monogamy.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I help clients when "sex isn't working." I'm passionate about working with clients who are having trouble experiencing arousal, desire, and sexual pleasure. When sex isn't working due to ED, PE, low desire, sexual pain, or tensions between partners, my specialized training allows me to offer a variety of tools and solutions to improve your sexual experience. I believe that my role as a therapist is to help clients rid themselves of shame and guilt, get in touch with pleasure and joy, and experience more fulfilling relationships.

We are constantly in relationship–to ourselves and our bodies, to one another, to our many identities, to the contexts and systems we exist within–and issues in our lives arise as a result of these nuanced relationships, not because something within us is "broken" or "wrong.” My work focuses on being curious about, exploring and renegotiating these relationships to help clients discover their most authentic selves.

I believe every person is unique and complex. As your therapist, I want to help you get the life that you want. Knowing that we are all wired differently, I work with my clients to discover each person's unique gifts. These gifts, or strengths can then be nurtured and honed. Together we can target problem areas and figure out how to use strengths to remove life's obstacles.

Thank you for viewing my profile. If you feel anxious, sad or perhaps you struggle with one or more of your relationships, you are not alone. Together, we will work on gaining a better understanding of yourself, what motivates you to do the things you do, and explore the dynamics of your interpersonal relationships. In a direct, warm and gentle approach, I will help you explore your internal obstacles and together, we will work through them. Please feel free to reach out with any questions that you may have and/or to set up an initial consultation.
