I have discovered that seniors often are not aware that one of the great benefits of Medicare is that therapy is free if they can find a good therapist who takes Medicare.
i have always been a good listener. I enjoy helping people discover new ways of looking at things. I partner with you to explore possibilities that might make your life situation work better for you. During sessions I do play an active role. My focus is on getting you feeling better as soon as possible but at a comfortable pace for you. Currently I see people via telehealth in California and Florida.

I utilize evidence-based therapies to help people better understand the problems they are facing, and believe therapy is most helpful when customized to meet an individual’s personality and goals. My treatment style is collaborative, and I strive to create an inviting space. My therapeutic approach seeks to help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves, a shift that begins within our therapeutic relationship and progressively extends into daily life.

Do you struggle with anxiety, past trauma, depression, grief, or loss of a sense of self? Do you find your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, your work, career impacted? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost by just getting through the day, answering emails, texts or calls, the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body.

Do you experience anxiety, trouble sleeping, or have difficulty trusting that things will work out? Do you tend to distract yourself with food, exercise, work, alcohol, or other people? Do you struggle with being alone with your thoughts and feelings, have difficulty setting boundaries, and find yourself in co-dependent or toxic relationships? Or perhaps you keep people at an arm’s length, put on a mask and come across as happy and having it all together to others because you’re terrified of being vulnerable? If this sounds like you, we would love to have the opportunity to work with you to change these self-destructive patterns.

FRUSTRATED with the SLOW PACE of others? Having difficulty COMMUNICATING with loved ones? Can't understand IRRATIONAL behavior by a partner or colleagues? Are you accused of being TOO INTENSE, COMPLEX or DRIVEN? These are all ways that intellectually gifted individuals may feel, without understanding what's causing it. Gifted individuals possess an intellectual complexity and emotional intensity that can lead them to experience life in ways qualitatively different from the norm. This can lead to challenges in COUPLES relationships or PROFESSIONAL settings. I have spent over 30 years working with gifted individuals, and am a CERTIFIED EFT COUPLES Therapist.

Happy, satisfying and fulfilling relationships require attention, energy, fun, humor, communication, time and investment of yourself.

Personality changes over time, affairs of the heart, infidelity, unmet sexual intimacy, abuse, cruel words, neglect, self-centeredness, different communication styles, different goals, values and dissimilar interests or fun activities also create unhappiness in relationships.
