People seek therapy because they are in pain or conflict. As an empathic therapist I am very mindful of how careful listening is a critical aspect of therapy. Patients begin to experience relief when they feel they are working with someone they trust and who cares about their struggles. My work as a Psychologist for 25+ years has given me the experience and skills needed to identify the concerns and issues that keep many people stuck in patterns of behavior that hinder their higher functioning. Alleviating troublesome symptoms, and working toward a more positive self-image are key steps toward emotional well-being.

I have recently added Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as services now available in my office. I am not a traditional talk therapist, rather I do experiential psychotherapy. I trained 6 years beyond my doctorate in somatic psychotherapy, so that I include the body's experience throughout the session. In addition, I'm a Kripalu-certified yoga teacher. Through movement, breath, and mindfulness, I help you know and experience your feeling- states in your body. This allows you to expand your awareness so that you have choices (rather than being run by the programming of mind!)

Do you ever feel: Confident on the outside, but your insides are filled with self-doubt . Wonder if these self-doubts are holding you back professionally and personally. Tired of being on edge, constantly anticipating the worst. Posses a strong inner critic inside your head beating you up. No matter how accomplished, it doesn't feel like it will ever be enough. Is the inside of your mind a hamster wheel of ruminating thoughts. Are your stuck in the same old patterns. that keep knocking on your door asking you to notice..it's time to make a different choice.
