I am a seasoned psychologist with extensive experience in helping children, adolescents, adults, as well as couples and families. I have been described as warm, supportive and straightforward.

Managing complex emotions and past traumas can be challenging, especially when trying to balance the difficulties of everyday life. It can often feel overwhelming to try to address these feelings on your own, though not addressing them can often be even more painful. In my practice, I seek to help my clients work through their challenges and become more aware of their patterns and thought processes. I provide clients with an empathetic and affirming space that allows them to feel comfortable tackling their issues, yet I also aim to challenge my clients to look beyond the obvious and recognize damaging behaviors.

Do you find yourself consumed by worry or struggling with self-esteem? Perhaps you find yourself procrastinating, leaving you feeling stressed and unmotivated.

Life is full of challenges! And while we work through and overcome many obstacles that come our way, there are times when we feel too overwhelmed to manage them on our own. Challenges can take many forms, whether as trauma, anxiety, depression, regular self-criticism, shame, processing a loss, or conflict with someone important in our lives. These forms of suffering deserve kindness, understanding, and support. The right guidance can help us move through and decrease these symptoms so we can feel greater contentment and connection.

I work with a wide range of age groups; young adults who are defining themselves, increasing autonomy, strengthening identities, often communicating through behavior; couples trying to improve communication styles or learning how to negotiate transitional periods in their relationships; older adults navigating life's challenges with resulting changes in roles. Clients of all ages may be dealing with relationship issues, poor confidence or self-esteem, loss, depression, anxiety and addictive problems, seeking to understand the sources of their discomfort rather than continue trying to avoid or outrun their problems.

I have extensive degrees including ;PhD,; MSW, MA, BA and have taught graduate and postgraduate studies at major Universities. I have expertise and training in body-oriented , brain-centered therapies: Somatic Experiencing , SEP certified as well as certified in Somatic Touch ,IFS , Polyvagal Theory with which I combine psychodynamic psychotherapy - - which lead to not only emotional well - being but to physiological healing. With this combination of therapies, the therapeutic work is very effective. As my work embodies a naturalistic approach, the therapy tends to be short term and/or of shorter duration than most psychologies

My goal is to create a safe space for my clients on their journey to personal growth and healing. I believe that everyone's story is unique to them and will develop a personalized approach for each client using evidence based treatment.

We all turn a blind eye to parts of ourselves that are too painful to experience. In an accepting, nonjudgmental environment, together we will explore the difficulties with which you are struggling, slowly recognizing the parts which you are unaware of, but which influence your experiences, the way you feel, and the way you act or react. Getting to know yourself in a deeper way can lead to a sense of truth, creativity, ownership of experiences, and life choices. I am a psychoanalyst and a psychotherapist, a member at the Contemporary Freudian Society.

Right now we all have issues dealing with Covid and perhaps entering into a different ways of being as the Covid threat lessens and society opens up.

We are all feeling pulled in multiple directions and struggle to manage it all. Therapy can help you create more balance in your life and improve your relationships with others. While I like to create a warm and non-judgemental space to allow you to share your feelings I tend to take a more interactive “hands-on'' approach. I consider therapy to be an active and collaborative process where we will work together to get you where you need to be. Our work together and the relationship we create together is a very important part of this process and contributes to lasting change.
