You don’t feel like you’re “enough” — smart enough, successful enough, attractive enough, etc. Throw in social media, and the comparisons are a daily struggle. You constantly worry about what others think or say about you, and this might affect your relationships. At some point, you stopped being friends with yourself. And you want it to change, and you’re ready to put in the work. The good news is, you’ve found a therapist (Ahem: Me) who wants to help. I’ve struggled with low self-esteem, as a teen and young adult, and it. Is. Hard. In our work together, we’ll explore what you need, understand why, and how to get there.

Let's talk about sex. Are you and your partner experiencing a lack of pleasure? Are you finding it challenging to feel aroused? Do you feel you have lost the "spark"? Are you looking to increase the passion and pleasure you desire in life? Do you want to wake up and feel empowered in your sex life? Sex can be a challenging conversation. Expressing our desires and fantasies can be intimidating. Sometimes we don't know where to begin and other times we can feel that we have expressed ourselves clearly. Over time, partners find themselves having less sex. They feel "too tired", "too busy", "unable to feel aroused".

When an individual or a couple chooses to enter into a therapeutic relationship, they are in essence choosing courage. Willingly putting one’s self in a vulnerable state of self-reflection and honesty is a hard thing for most people. But when this happens in a safe and judgement-free environment, wholeness and freedom can ensue.

Do you feel stuck? I work with couples and individuals seeking to build a happy and meaningful life. Many of us fall into patterns of behavior that create obstacles to personal growth. These patterns are often related to communication, negative thoughts, and relationships. I help clients grow through self-awareness and begin to take charge of their future. I work with individuals, couples, and families to identify short- and long-term goals that set the stage for success. Setting goals sounds simple but in many cases, people need a little help to understand what’s really important to them.

As a therapist, it is my task to join with you to tackle your issues of concern. Sometimes these are situational. Other times you have become aware of a pattern or trend that continually gets in your way. The therapist must create an empathetic environment in which you can truly share and be heard. Then, the therapist can offer the insights and suggestions, so you may begin to unravel and solve the problems. It is a process. My work in Boston, Princeton, and Sarasota has focused on creating this environment and giving you the space to find your way.

My approach to counseling is framed around two perspectives. The first is that each individual knows themselves best. Because of that belief I am available to help individuals achieve the change they seek based on an understanding that each person may just need some guidance to access the knowledge they already have inside of them. The second perspective involves not dwelling on the origins of problems. Knowing the roots of a problem doesn't mean that the effects of a problem suddenly disappear. I often rely on a solutions focused approach rather than a problem centric focus with helping individuals work toward change.
