I have 30 years experience working with people experiencing a range of issues: trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, adoption issues, divorce.
Life is a journey. There are times when it's easy and good, and times when it's harder than you want it to be. If you're at one of the lower moments in your life, it can sometimes help if you reach out to someone who is understanding, a good listener and who has many years experience helping people problem-solve their way back to a place where life feels more manageable. If you are feeling more sad than happy, more anxious than calm, then maybe you should call me. We'll chat a little and see if we think we'd make a good therapeutic team.

Our experiences and our growth within those experiences, is what makes us unique. Learning to embrace the process is what makes us blossom in that process; everyday is a new opportunity to grow. Whether we are experiencing grief, trying to manage life with our experiences with trauma, suffering from depression and/or anxiety, working towards a healthy relationship with our spouse while trying to provide a healthy environment for our children and ourselves, we all experience growth differently. What we do with those experiences and how we choose to embrace them, that is our story.

I believe that "a difference to be a difference, must make a difference". I have spent most of my adult life working with people to make things different. I got my PhD in Psychology from Yale University and received a diverse training - from children and adolescents to adults and veterans. Many people at times need a listener, someone to help them figure things out, someone to help them change. I try my best to be that person. Prior to my psychology training, I was a physical therapist - and I hope that my awareness of illness and handicaps adds a dimension to my work as needed

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
