Protecting yourself from pain by trying not to feel it only causes more pain. Do you distract yourself from uncomfortable feelings by over-working, eating or drinking too much, shopping, or dating? Much unhappiness is created by no longer useful coping devices. Avoiding feelings like anger, shame, regret and powerlessness, closes off access to informative parts of you. In our work together, I utilize practical tools, not just theory, to help you identify and remain connected to your feelings. Staying connected to yourself while relating to others allows for loving in healthy ways and feeling loved and valued by others.
My specialties include working with people who: struggle with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, hormone-related issues, traumatic experiences of assault, abuse, and oppression, divorce, marital discord, unhealthy relationship dynamics, intimacy, employment-related issues, and pre and post incarceration.
I work with individual adults and couples of all ages, races, ethnicities and sexual orientation. I also provide support groups for women experiencing hormone imbalances due to childbirth, fertility treatment, perimenopause and menopause. Please contact me to schedule an introductory session or to discuss a women's support group.

Groups
Outing Menopause
Symptoms related to menopause can negatively impact our relationships and functioning. Yet, finding support can be difficult because of the myths and stereotypes surrounding menopause. Whether you are perimenopausal or menopausal, you will benefit from this support group. The group's mission is to support women through group discussions and to educate women of holistic treatment options that take into account the physical, psychological, sexual and social changes a woman experiences during the transition.
