I want to remind you that even when things are hard, even if life is feeling impossible right now, you can continue to treat your body with kindness and respect.

Walking through this journal called life is difficult and there lies an extra layer of challenges when one is struggling with their mental health specifically related to past or current traumatic events.

My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature and this is why I specialize in the use of EMDR, IFS, and ACT.

Hello, I've been a psychotherapist in private practice for over 45 years. That experience, coupled with earlier work in hospitals and clinics, means I have helped thousands of people, from seven to ninety years old, deal with just about every problem you can imagine. My practice is truly holistic, in that I not only consider your thoughts and feelings, but also your history, habits and lifestyle.

I am dual licensed and provide therapy to New York and Colorado residents. In my 16 years of practice, I have found that no one story is alike and the path to our best self is as unique as the individual being supported. I provide therapeutic interventions at your pace and believe your story deserves a safe space where it can be shared.

I believe that the beauty of counseling lies in helping others feel comfortable enough to be themselves, safe enough to be vulnerable, and empowered enough to take action steps needed to make the change they want to see in their lives become a reality. Navigating life, career, family, relationships, health, addiction and sometimes our own thoughts and hearts can be challenging. Please know it isn’t something you have to do alone. More importantly it is possible to navigate and or overcome such challenges. No two people are the same and therefore therapy at Wellness UR Way LLC will be tailored to each clients specific needs.

At this very moment, you are enough. Despite this truth, one of the biggest challenges we face as humans is finding the place within ourselves where we can feel enough. We deserve to feel enough; whether that means feeling whole within yourself and your body or sufficient in your relationships. We spend years of our lives searching for that feeling and yet it is something we already have. If we continue to allow our negative thought patterns and emotions to impact our daily lives, then the reality of healing becomes less visible.

Many of us feel like we don't belong, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone in a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. You will discover that the person most equipped to help with your own healing is you, and you are never truly alone.
