We strive to address your issues, meet your needs and work with you to meet your goals.

Emotional suffering can be unbearable. It doesn't have to last forever...I use multiple approaches and methods to help people feel better and manage their behavior, emotions, and relationships. I challenge you to "take control of your life." I am a clinical psychologist extensively trained in individual and group therapies. I have particular expertise and experience with individuals who suffer from depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, violence, and substance abuse. I also have extensive experience in forensic psychology, conduct forensic assessments, and have served as an expert witness in numerous legal matters.

Do you have relational conflicts? I help individuals, couples, and families to improve communications. In life we face challenging times: Loss, divorce, transitions and disappointments. Chronic pain, illness, grief and the loss of a loved one often compel individuals to seek therapy. I also specialize in adolescents and college students assisting them with growth and independence. Many issues occur, such as sexual identity, friendship conflicts, drugs and alcohol as well as academic challenges. Building trust in a safe place, may help you transform and grow. Therapy allows a new awareness of life and love can occur!

Attending therapy can be daunting and connecting with the right therapist can help soften any initial reservations. I offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space that will allow you to experience therapy in the most authentic way. Inevitably, by living, we face challenges that can inhibit how we manage our daily lives. These challenges, like stress related to family dynamics, work, romantic relationships, life transitions, and loss can disrupt the connection we have to our inner selves. My goal is to help you restore and realign the parts of you that may have been wounded along the way.

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit." ~B.K.S. Iyengar * * * A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body and a healthy soul. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your life-story, and identifying and overcoming the blockages to a peaceful way of being. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to find balance and restore a sense of wholeness and perspective on our purpose in life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space in my practice for this to occur.

Many of my clients come in to address anxiety, depression and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping women in different phases of their lives (adolescence, womanhood, motherhood, menopause). I also have experience in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression and Adjustment Disorders. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness. I use the therapeutic relationship to look at how patterns of interaction have developed and can be used to strengthen connections outside of our sessions.

We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.
