My approach is straightforward and honest, and I believe an empathic and genuine therapeutic bond is healing and restorative. Through exploration of both current and past issues, I aim to assist you in understanding formative and current patterns and roles and how they affect your daily life. Further, capitalizing on your strengths and abilities, I can guide you towards new ways of looking at challenges that empower you to overcome difficulties.

My view on successful psychotherapy is that it provokes insight, motivation and productivity for you, not only in session but out in life. Together we create a purely confidential, client-focused relationship to distinguish your desired outcomes. Then, using a blend of mind-body and cognitive-behavioral techniques, we explore your thoughts and how they shape the way you feel and behave. We also develop new patterns of thought and behaviors to create the way you want your life to be. Lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, self-care and social interaction also come into play as they shape the whole person.

I tailor treatment to the needs of each person using my training in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychoanalysis.
I believe our central motivation is to seek out and maintain strong emotional bonds with important others. When this is blocked, we don't give up that need, we learn ways of connecting that are dysfunctional and that wreak havoc on our emotional lives. Thus, we often ask ourselves, "Why is it always me?" or "Why do I always do that?" or "Why am I always alone?" I believe the key to growth is in understanding how your thoughts, which we are often unaware of, influence your feelings and behavior in the context of your relationships.

Using evidenced based approaches (psychodynamic, CBT, DBT and EMDR) has helped hundreds of women throughout the tri-state area - and those they love - transform their lives through self-empowerment and the acquisition of new skills and perspectives.
Reading through these profiles can feel daunting when you are unsure of who can best help you. You need an able, expert guide worthy of your own commitment to face unresolved challenges. Good therapy gives causative insight, but GREAT therapy supports YOUR vision of creating a "life worth living". My work covers; career and relationships, animal companion loss, trauma related to pregnancy, childbirth and infertility, chronic or terminal illness, disordered eating, grief and loss (including child and fetal loss). My latest book, Mourning Companion Animals, Guiding Clients from Loss to Legacy is available on Amazon and other vendors.

I offer adult neurospychological assessments to evaluate the presence of memory disorders and to assess the cognitive sequelae of traumatic brain injury and other neurological diseases.
My aspiration as a psychologist is to help you reach your goals by constructing an individualized therapeutic approach that considers your strengths and inherent abilities. I draw upon my training in diverse treatment types to help you achieve the progress you strive for. I believe in utilizing a two pronged approach: I guide you toward learning strategies to reduce distress and increase your coping skills, while at the same time identifying deeper factors that underlie your presenting challenges. I find that addressing problems on both of these levels minimizes the time it takes to feel relief and maximizes the lasting impact of the therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
