There are times life overwhelmingly challenged us and we somehow prevailed. However, for some of us, our thoughts, emotions, or bodies became stuck in the aftermath of it all. This may look like always feeling down, constantly on edge, or numbing life's pain away. Whether it's recent stress or a traumatic experience, the space for therapy is one where we explore the avenue that can help resolve old echoes from past experience.

Being human is not always easy and life can be quite difficult. There may be times when you worry about the future, feel angry or sad; guilty or ashamed; feel upset about the emotional pain you are experiencing; or feel overwhelmed, anxious and stressed. Therapy can help by providing you with the tools and insights to help you navigate through the most difficult of life's experiences. I believe our most challenging times in life can also be our greatest opportunity for change and growth-therapy is the place to nurture that process.

Now, more than ever, you may find yourself or a loved one carrying an extra heavy load. I strive to serve my community by way of data-based psychological and therapeutic services including psychological and neuropsychological assessment with adult, as well as adolescent, clients of all races, religions, and orientations. My practice emphasizes therapeutic treatment of individuals with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues and interpersonal conflict. My primary goal is to provide an open, empathic environment where life's challenges can be confronted, overcome, and some of the load can be lightened and left behind.

I am most qualified to treat people who are having problems in living fulfilling lives because of troubling symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) or general dissatisfaction with themselves and relationships. I believe my treatment approach contributes to personal growth at any age. My rigorous training, 10 years post-Ph.D. has qualified me as a Training/Supervising Analyst who treats other therapists, and supervises other therapists--psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers in their work with adults, children and adolescents. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I treat sexual and marital dysfunctions. As a child psychoanalyst, I treat children and work with parents in parent guidance.

I specialize in therapy for anxiety and OCD in children, teens, and young adults; therapy and evaluations for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children; and parenting support. For young children, I offer diagnostic assessments to better understand their symptoms, development, and relationships, and to guide treatment recommendations. Therapy for young children can help them and their caregivers to improve their relationship, improve coping skills, reduce emotional outbursts or other mental health symptoms, and reduce parenting stress. I use strategies from evidence-based approaches, tailored for the needs of each family.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with midlife struggles no matter what you do? Maybe this season of life isn’t quite what you expected. The challenges in midlife can leave you feeling stressed, depleted, lonely & lost. You might feel unsettled or realize that the strategies you used to use to get through your days aren’t working for you anymore. Anxiety and depression are creeping in. You’re distracted, frustrated, tired and irritable and just want to be heard, seen and understood. You’re dealing with empty nest changes, menopause changes, relationship changes, even changes due to loss and grief. That’s a lot of change to navigate.

Do you struggle with worrying? Is your mood lower than you think it should be? Are you overwhelmed by the challenges of work or school, relationships, or family? Perhaps you are finding parenting more challenging than you imagined or would like to find someone to talk with your child or teen. I have experience with a variety of clinical issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting challenges, postpartum issues, trauma, adoption and attachment, LGBTQ and women’s issues. Whatever the stresses you are facing, talking through them in a warm, safe environment can make a difference.

You're the only one who can change you, but I can help sharpen your awareness of how you stop yourself from growing. We are in search of your blind spots; I have the sharp eye to notice things you haven't--your voice, choice of words, how you hold yourself, or the effect of your words on others. Together we will experiment in session with new behaviors and awareness. The results will likely surprise us both. You have within you already the strength and peace you seek; you just need help understanding how you stop yourself from accessing it.

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused.
In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

You can learn to raise yourself...to enhance the positive aspects of life and build resilience in the face of adversity. The therapeutic relationship is tool to gain self knowledge, acceptance and access to your own wisdom. Therapy does not take difficulties in life away. Instead, you change your relationship to them. You learn the difference between the kind of suffering that is natural and unavoidable from the kind of suffering that is self inflicted. With this growing awareness inner strength and respect for yourself grows. Little by little you uproot destructive patterns and come back to life.

There are times when life’s challenges can feel harder to deal with than others, and when this happens, you may need additional help. I have a developmental, client-centered, strengths-based approach to the therapy process. So whether you are brand new to therapy or very experienced with it, I view my role as your therapist as someone who can support you along your unique healing journey by helping you to better understand and, when needed, make peace with your story while also working on practical coping skills to help daily life feel more manageable.

Are you having difficulty managing your anxiety or moving forward in your grief? You feel overwhelmed & unsure of what to do. The Negative Committee inside your head won't shut up & sit down. You want to break free from self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing. You are harder on yourself than on others. You've experienced a loss & wonder how life will ever feel normal again. You're struggling to make sense of this loss. You don't know what the "new normal" is & want the old one back. You feel paralyzed, depressed, relieved, guilty in your grief all at the same time. You & your partner feel like roommates not partners?

My practice specializes in the application of evidence-based therapy for a range of behavioral, emotional and relational concerns. I am an integrative practitioner, which means that I commonly work by combining a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches which are tailored to an individual’s specific needs. My work primarily draws from Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is an approach to therapy supported by research and has been shown to be effective for a number of problems, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, and relationship problems.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, but tend to primarily work with adolescents and young adults. I have the most experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or social difficulties. I enjoy working with clients who are engaged in their therapy, open to self-reflection, interested in better understanding themselves, and motivated to learn and try new strategies to make positive changes in their lives.
