There are many times in life when we deal with issues that are difficult to put into words. I have found that a combination of art therapy, play therapy, with more traditional Cognitive Behavioral talk therapy give people the option of approaching issues from a variety of perspectives. I also have a background in mindfulness practice to help you learn to gain insight into your reactions to issues in your life. I work with children, adults and families to help you develop positive solutions in your life.

I am an institute trained psychotherapist, working integratively, within a contemporary, relational, psychodynamic orientation. After more than two decades of practicing in New York City, I am now located in Western Massachusetts, though I maintain NY licensure. For me, at the heart of a relational, psychodynamic, approach is my effort to strive to meet people where they are and make the work understandable and accessible based on who you are. I respect and build upon the ways in which I am invited to join and help expand psychic space, so that areas which are troubling can be demystified, transformed and feel less daunting.

I'm a clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology. I take a non-judgmental, compassionate, and collaborative approach to help people understand themselves better and improve their relationships with others. I also aim to help people move toward the life goals values that feel most meaningful to them. My style is integrative, and I draw largely from cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and solution-focused approaches. I'm also very aware of how different aspects of a person's identity—like race, class, culture, gender, and sexuality—can affect their health and well-being.

I believe that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, I seek to meet clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, I focus on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can.

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

Life transitions can bring emotions of anxiety, depression, anger and feeling overwhelmed. Often times these emotions can impact personal and work relationships. I believe that with time and strategic goal planning these feelings and patterns can be shaped and managed.
