You know that gut sensation that something about your professional life or relationship isn’t right? Or that feeling of anxiety about everything and anything? Feelings that block you from confidently living your present and planning your future . You may feel like things are always stuck with no end in sight, and find yourself thinking: “I’ve tried so hard for so long and I don’t see much to show for it.” “Why can't I get my marriage right?" “I try so hard to be such a good mother/father/husband/wife etc...“Why do other people with less training, effort or experience often seem to do better than me?”

I'm a Licensed Certified Social Worker with many years of clinical experience, currently licensed in CA, FL, NJ and NY. The focus of my work is with betrayed partners (of sex addicts). Most of my clients approach me trying to understand and process the trauma that they have suffered. For many patients, their recent trauma, is not their first. Patients often tell me that I’m so easy to talk to and that they feel comfortable and validated when working with me. In helping my clients understand their trauma, and the dynamics around it, I work gently and carefully, while ensuring comfort and safety as we talk about these difficult topics

I am a licensed clinical psychotherapist who treats anxiety, depression, and trauma for children, adolescents, and adults. Each client is treated as the expert on his or herself and is given practical tools to cope with life's challenges. My goal is to create a collaborative plan to help work on personal as well as family-related challenges and obstacles. I view each client as trying their best to navigate the challenges that life often presents and I cater my therapeutic approach to each individual depending on their age and the nature of their goals. I believe we can tackle whatever issues might come your way, together.

Our strongest reactions have roots in the past. We can't change difficult situations of the past but we can work together to understand how you have been impacted and work through challenges in the present. My goal is to work with you to uncover your true potential and innate healing. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, in a warm and supportive environment, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and/or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing healthier relationships and a happier, more fulfilling life today.

Do you constantly feel overwhelmed in your life? For a woman who’s struggling with setting boundaries, daily commitments can often feel like too much. Your nervous system may be stuck in "fight or flight mode", and it can affect your self-esteem and your relationships, making your life too difficult to manage. This can happen for multiple reasons, one of them might be a childhood trauma. Despite that you can learn how to trust yourself again.
