My goal as an integrated heath care professional is to treat the whole body; so patients can experience changes in sensation, perception, thought or behavior corresponding to his or their mental or physical health needs. My success in treating chronic illness is founded in the idea that all therapeutic relationships are a partnership of patient and clinician in restoring the body to health. The use of Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy can address a variety of physical and mental health issues in a shorter time; with longer lasting effects.

While I have extensive postgraduate training and am a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association, I tailor my style and approach to the needs of each client. Many people are particularly anxious about the first visit, so I maintain an especially active stance during that session, to provide a comfortable environment and to help clients best describe the nature of their problem. After the initial consultation, I will provide an assessment in clear and direct language, along with my treatment recommendations. If I feel the client can best benefit from services I don't provide, I will make an appropriate referral.

If you have gotten this far in your search for a therapist, you have made an important decision to get some help. This next step - finding someone you can trust to do this work with you - can be somewhat daunting. How do you make this choice? You really won't know who will be a good match for you until you sit down and speak with someone.

I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.

What's the bottom line in therapy? To help a client to take control of his or her own life. As an advanced level, PhD clinical social worker, (Columbia University), I apply only evidence-based techniques known to help clients learn how to live more satisfying lives, at work, school or at home. Widely trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I work in the most direct way to evaluate how they interact with others, and to identify where and how changes could be made, and where support is available. Additional training allows me to integrate the visual arts to enhance self awareness and problem solving where appropriate.

It's hard to think about starting therapy. And maybe it's never worked in the past. And often it can be more difficult when you've experienced what is considered a trauma, even if you don't think of your life that way. You just know you're not happy and haven't been in a long time. Sometimes therapy works when you try one more time. Maybe you just have to be ready.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have experience providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults with a range of needs.

Struggling with anxiety and depression can be exhausting. Whether you have coped for a long time or a new situation has emerged, the sensations connected to feelings can seem overwhelming. The knot in your stomach, tension gripped shoulders, tightening up, shrinking in, weighted down, these are all embodied experiences of anxiety and depression. This is where I join in, meeting your feelings on a body level. If you are seeking a creative, body and movement based way to find more ease, or have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and want a movement oriented therapy, dance/movement therapy might be for you.

Sometimes life isn’t easy ! As a matter of fact life can be extremely demanding. Daily stress, life pressures and complicated pasts can make us feel unbalanced and overwhelmed. More times than not, things like stress, anxiety, anger and sadness are normalized yet they impact our emotional wellbeing and relationship with others. We often sacrifice our self-care by not prioritizing our own needs in order to fulfill demanding roles which often leave us unfulfilled. You are not alone ! Empowering others to develop a stronger sense of self has always been my passion.

I became a therapist because of a deep and innate desire to help others overcome obstacles in their lives. I believe that every person deserves a chance to explore their emotional world and foster a deeper understanding of who they are, what they need, and how will they meet their goals. As a therapist, I believe in utilizing different theoretical models and approaches to meet my clients where they are, and to provide care that contributes to a meaningful change in their mental health journey.
