I do quite a lot of work with couples, married and unmarried, parents working on problems with their children, and individual adults and teens.
I see adults and adolescents of any age . I see quite a few couples and families to work through marital or parenting problems. Most of my clients are seeking insight about how to approach their problems in new ways, to acquire new understandings which enable them to see possibilities that may have been elusive to them without the added input of an experienced therapist. I have tried to develop a style that focuses on how to help people develop their capacity to tune in more deeply to their own inner awareness and knowledge, to see options that were previously unseen.

I am a level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and am also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) and in the IFS method with couples, Intimacy From The Inside Out (IFIO). My approach to treatment is positive, strength-based and collaborative. Working in the psychotherapy field for over 30 years has taught me that the wisdom and capacity to heal lies within each of us, but we often need guidance in learning new tools and coping strategies in order to access this self-healing. I offer my clients new methods for allowing the natural ability of the mind and body to heal itself.

In my work with children, I use a variety of tools, including play therapy, to work with each child individually.
One’s experience in therapy should be as unique as they are as a person. In working with my clients, I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach because it assumes that one treatment or modality can meet the various needs of different clients. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, behavioral concerns, intellectual disabilities, life-transitions, self-esteem, disordered eating, parenting, and family dynamics. At the core, I work to create a warm, authentic, and non-judgmental space for my clients as they go through the counseling process.

I specialize in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, and situational stress for a diverse population, children, adolescents and adults.
During difficult times, the word “unravel” resonates with most of us. As human beings, at some point, we are bound to experience life stressors, trauma events, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting struggles etc. I am aware there is no single therapeutic approach, and a range of flexibility and modalities is key to guide and assist in finding resolution and balance. My great passion is bringing healing to the people who have been through traumatic/stressful experiences and struggling to anchor, reflect and or reset. I believe in meeting clients where they are and in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
