I am passionate about working with college and international students, as well as people of color who are keen on exploring their identities, navigating life transitions, and coping with anxiety and adjustment issues by establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Greetings! I've been working as a therapist for over 30 years both in NYC & here in Western Mass & I have a broad range of experience which informs my practice. Having worked in community based mental health as well as hospital & college settings over the years, I have engaged with people from ages 18 - 80 years old, from diverse cultural & class backgrounds.

Are you a young adult who is feeling exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Are you finding yourself more stressed and in need of support? Perhaps you are simply looking to enhance your overall wellness or strengthen boundaries within your relationships.

Are you hoping to learn new ways to cope with stress, trauma, family conflict, anxiety, or depression which are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive?

As an integrative health practitioner, I believe healing and wellness are on a continuum and can truly blossom when we are in alignment with our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional centers. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach in working with adults who have a history of anxiety, burnout, insomnia, those living with a chronic disease, managing life transitions and those seeking their purpose. I specialize in and resonate with empaths and highly sensitive people to help them manage and navigate strategies for operating in a challenging world.

I view therapy as a process of deepening awareness of your experience and patterns in order to access greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I serve as a guide in examining your inner world with curiosity and compassion. This exploration—and the intimacy with yourself that emerges—brings with it the capacity to open more fully to life with its ever-changing realities.

A few openings in September. Do you have paralyzing anxiety that makes it hard to concentrate or live in the moment? Do you feel unable to see the brightness in your life because of the dark depressive clouds above you? Are you struggling with dealing with a painful past which has left you feeling hurt, worthless, hopeless and very stuck? Trauma, anxiety, depression and other issues all affect your brain/body functioning. Hearts can race, minds can spin, palms can sweat, heads can be foggy and you may feel as if you are constantly in danger even when you aren’t.

NOT accepting new clients at this time. For many years, I have worked successfully with individuals who want to address their own suffering and facilitate lasting change.

I help adults free their minds from the grip of stress, fixations and unhelpful habits so they can be more present in their lives and skillful with their time, focus and choices. For many, they struggle with stage-of-life demands, caught between lists of expectations yet with a deep, guttural need to recapture vitality and fresh perspective about their life path. They feel held back by something. Others seek ways to abate the stress that unhelpful attachments breed. My clients seek change, not book recommendations. I offer them a forward-moving, holistic, mind-body, active and engaged approach that encourages their evolving self.

For many individuals a spiritual and holistic based approach can provide nurturance, wisdom, and depth as one navigates life's challenges.

When your relationship is in crisis, your whole life is in crisis. Is there anything more ungrounding than a rocky connection between two people? If your marriage or partnership isn’t working, you know all too well the dis-ease of not being on the same page. At worst, you feel hopeless. Receiving specialized help and guidance is the most effective way to move through this painfully discordant time. My hand-picked therapists and I specialize exclusively in treating couples using evidence-informed gold-standard models, including Gottman Method Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Pragmatic Experiential Therapy.

I like to work relationally, which means that we, together, work on whatever challenges present themselves for you at this time in your life. It is my belief that each of us holds the answers to our own life challenges within ourselves. Therapy can create a supportive framework that can help clear debris from life's path so that one can see the path more clearly. Adult life is often connected to our history, and the culture/environments we grew up in. Therapy can be a place to understand the threads between past and present. I often work with folks who are becoming parents. This phase is complex and can stir the silt of our story.
