Not feeling yourself? Do you want to move past your emotional pain? Are you having relationship problems? In a safe environment, I help adults manage their stress, anxiety, depression and difficult emotions, accept and move through life transitions, and improve their relationships. I assist individuals and couples in gaining awareness of past and present influences on their beliefs and how they relate to others. My therapy work is collaborative with couples, helping partners improve their communication and replace their highly charged emotional interactions with new productive, healthier dialogues.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have been successful helping many people cope with painful emotions and achieve personal growth. My goal is to equip you with tools to use your strengths to thrive in life. If you have experienced a loss, been diagnosed with a medical condition, or have had a difficult life transition, it can be very scary asking for help. But when you take that first step, I assure you it will be rewarding.

If you're a high-achieving individual with frequent or intense anxiety, you may feel discouraged and frustrated by your symptoms. Constant worry, obsessions, disrupted sleep and sudden anxiety attacks can be debilitating, even for the most competent person. I work with successful professionals, including physicians, attorneys, executives, creatives and entertainers, and their family members; I know it can be hard to seek help when you are used to solving your own problems. However, anxiety symptoms are very treatable when you work with a professional who offers the most effective approach.

30 yrs exp. When your love slides into painful patterns of tension & misunderstanding I can help you communicate. There are skills & tricks to being a good communicator while in distress. Bumpy communication is at the root of most problems. Have you ever wondered how someone could love you but not seem to understand you? I'll help you learn to diffuse resentments & solve problems together more smoothly. If you're feeling stuck I'm here to help you rejuvenate your connection. My sessions provide a safe, neutral atmosphere where you can feel safe. (Visit my extensive website for much more detail on how I can help you, my fees).

Depression, anxiety, loss, and change can leave us feeling disconnected, confused. It seems to me that we're all trying to be connected in ways that support our intentions and goals. Sometimes those connections - to our Self, our partners, our family and friends - get muddy or lost. I see therapy as a safe place to explore unfamiliar, at times uncomfortable, territory in order to reach for greater understanding and connection to Self and others. My approach is humanistic/existential with an emphasis on depth and transpersonal psychology.

Do you find it difficult to understand your child or teenager? Parenting is an overwhelming job and can sometimes leave you feeling powerless. If your child is having challenges in school, or at home, or with his/her friends, I can give you insights and provide a safe space to understand what is going on and how to approach the situation.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult step to take. I know the profound pain that can come with dealing with mental health challenges, including addiction...yours, or as a family member affected by another person's addictive behaviors. I understand how traumatic growing up with an alcoholic/addicted or a dysfunctional parent can be, or being involved in an unhealthy relationship. These experiences can lead to devastating feelings - shame, abandonment, depression, anxiety, isolation, anger, and much more. I invite you to share your feelings in a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood & heard.

Using a resiliency-focused approach, it doesn’t have to be an ordeal to heal. In fact, neuroscience has shown this is not the best way to work on oneself. Rather, focusing on regulating the nervous system using simple wellness skills and education about the brain and body connection can pave the way toward increased daily well-being as well as lay groundwork for resolving trauma. We can't always prevent stressors, and many of us have been through challenges or traumas in childhood that make it difficult to weather life's changes. Together, we will co-create the best course of treatment to help you live more fully in each moment.

I know that choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. Selecting someone who has experience working with your concerns and to whom you can connect is essential. I have been practicing for over 20 years and work effectively with individuals, couples and families who find themselves struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, life transitions and interpersonal conflicts. Through guided exploration, clients have been able to understand their difficulties more fully, develop more productive coping strategies and live more satisfying, complete lives.

Do you find that you are quick to judge yourself harshly or your life decisions? Is your day filled with circumstances or fears that you haven’t found a way to change? Ever ask why? Do you imagine your life with less anxious stress, more honest relationships, a stronger knowing of what’s right for you and how to achieve that? I offer therapeutic counseling using traditional and non-traditional interventions, actively bring concepts from yoga, mindfulness/meditation into sessions in an environment of support, safety and discovery where life skills, thought patterns and emotional states can be regulated, processed, and enhanced.

For over 26 years I have been working with some of the most difficult and challenging life dynamics that individuals, families and relationships encounter. I also work with adolescents and the Juvenile Justice System closely. My experience includes locked and unlocked settings, public and private sectors, community treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric, juvenile hall, probation mental health camp, group home's, private practice as well as in home counseling to probation youth. My background in law enforcement enhances my expertise in Juvenile Justice issues for teen and adult legal issues.

Hi, thanks for visiting my page! I love and often find myself working with creatives (film, tv, music, production, writing) as well as those in tech and finance. My work with individuals and/or couples is centered around anxiety and ocd related issues, existential dread (yes it’s a for sure thing!), and relationship challenges. Sessions often look like the space to problem solve, get deep, and work through blocks/feeling stuck. If this sounds like something of interest feel free to reach out, I’d love to meet you!

As a licensed psychologist with over twenty-five years of professional experience, I work collaboratively with individuals helping them overcome challenges in life which can quickly spiral into depression or anxiety. I am real and direct as a professional, maintaining a calm and helpful stance, offering practical interventions individuals can use in every day life as well as to process the impact of early childhood issues. My areas of specialization are trauma and anxiety disorders, as well as depression and disorders of childhood/adolescence. I work with children and adults individually as well as in family sessions.

My approach blends years of experience with natural compassion, humor and insight. I'm not a passive therapist. I'm interactive in sessions, using a holistic, relational approach with techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and narrative. I specialize in helping re-wire patterned thinking in your brain through talk therapy. Without a bunch of clinical jargon, we have relatable conversations in session where I will both nurture you and challenge you when needed. We stay in the present to shift behaviors and ways of thinking, while also getting to the root of the issues and feelings by understanding and processing them at the core.

If you are encountering difficulties emotionally, in your relationships, or in your career, a safe and attuned therapeutic relationship can be transformative. My approach is relational, warm, and collaborative. I draw from attachment theory and evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desenitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-informed therapy (DBT-informed), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness-based interventions.
