I specialize in working with individuals healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief.
I believe that each client has the ability and knowledge within themselves to create a fulfilling life - but you don't have to figure it out alone. I approach therapy with the mindset that you are the expert of your own life and experiences, and customize my approach to each client's needs. My work with my clients is free from judgement and criticism: instead, we will work together to figure out your path back to yourself.

Some common issues include anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood behavior problems, parenting and relationship difficulties, sexual concerns and grief/bereavement.
I have been a licensed psychologist for the past 32 years. I have always felt it is a privilege to work with people and help them achieve the life they desire. My approach is to help people look at past events and experiences which affect their mood and behaviors today and prevent them from getting what they want in life. I also focus on the present by teaching people skills to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. We set goals together and work towards meeting them. I will be offering mindfulness-based treatment for anxiety and depression for individuals. Accepting new referrals for a wait list.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and depleted from being pulled in many directions. You want to say no but find yourself saying yes instead, fearing that family and friends will get angry or be disappointed if you say no. You worry it may jeopardize your relationships if you do. Each time you think about setting a boundary, you feel anxious, or guilty, and sometimes even selfish for considering it. You want to live your own life. However, prioritizing yourself and honoring your own needs seems almost impossible. At times, you feel stuck, unable to know what you want, or focus on your life goals and dreams because you have little energy

I completed my doctoral training at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I work with adults on a number of different issues, but I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, including problems such as panic disorder, excessive worry, social anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. I frequently work with couples on relationship difficulties as well. CBT is a present-focused, skills-based approach to working on problems. Together, we identify goals for treatment and then we lay out a plan, using skills and strategies that have proven through research to be helpful for people who are working on similar issues.

I use talk therapy and, as needed, simple and effective body-based interventions to help reduce anxiety and post-traumatic stress.
A non-judgmental environment where you can explore your real feelings can make a world of difference and help you find solutions that are right for you. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed; are unhappy and don't know why; if you keep having the same pattern of problems at work or in your relationships; or if you simply want more out of life, therapy can help you achieve change in unexpected ways. Change can come through understanding how childhood shaped your experience of self and others. We collaborate to help you grow at your own pace.

I offer supportive services for persons struggling with depression, anxiety, life changes, work pressures and interpersonal difficulties.
Many persons can benefit from supportive services, especially during particularly difficult times in their lives. The first steps in seeking out help can be difficult or feel intimidating, however. Therefore I make every effort to help an individual feel comfortable and respected in this process.
My training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy leads me to take an educational approach, so that an individual can more clearly understand his or her own difficulties, and then begin to understand things in a new way, so that he or she can begin to feel less stressed and more in control.

Whatever it is you want to work on -- motivation, sports performance, reducing your stress and anxiety, self-confidence, phobias, smoking cessation, increasing your happiness and zest for life, mental concentration, mending your broken heart, eliminating bad habits --.
Your willpower alone isn't working. And you keep beating yourself up because you feel like a failure. But it's very difficult to will yourself to get over a fear, or exercise more, or stop worrying so much, or motivate yourself to change any habit. And nearly impossible to will away chronic pain, or intrusive thoughts. Your conscious mind --where your willpower is -- constitutes only about 10% of your mental capacity. Your subconscious mind controls 90%, and has an unlimited supply of resources. Hypnosis and mindfulness meditation give you better access to your subconscious, making change so much easier.
