We are conditioned to avoid pain and we think and behave in certain ways learned through our upbringing, culture and other life experiences. At times the way we interpret situations in our lives can impact the way we relate to others, especially our signifant other, in both a negative and positive way. Therapy gives us the opportunity to reflect on these experiences and interpretations of our world in order to recognize what no longer serves us. Sometimes all we need is the right guidance to get on the right course of action for growth.
This group is about the intersection of queer identity, gender and anxiety. Together we will foster connection, present moment awareness, compassion and self-care.

This is a special opportunity for connection and growth.

As a psychotherapist with years of clinical, supervisory, and forensic experience, I know that we all may need help when we feel lost or unhappy.

I provide consultations on court custody issues and complicated parenting situations. Presenting problems range from depression, anger, traumatic experiences, grief, anxiety, existential and life transition, to parenting, assertive behavior skills, but almost always involve relational components.

Studies show that survivors of childhood trauma experience higher levels of chronic pain. The neural processes involved in post-traumatic symptoms and chronic pain are very similar in many ways. To address both, the group will utilize 1) psychoeducation about complex trauma healing and its connections to chronic pain, trauma healing concepts, and pain and medical advocacy education 2) experiential exercises from somatic and parts-work therapies, resulting in an enhanced skill set for attending to triggers, pain, and nervous system dysregulation, as well as 3) community-building and resource sharing amongst participants.

My approach to tackling life's difficult moments is via the interface of classical Judaeo-spiritual teachings and the psychological approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. (CBT). The cognitive behavioral approach to psychotherapy teaches that ideation determines the way one feels and acts. Changing the way one thinks triggers a change in the way one feels. I also use "a strengths perspective" focusing on the client's stengths which serve to compensate for one's weaknesses. The interface of these three approaches is transformative, and life changing serving to help a client return to his or her innate and authentic self.

Transitioning into the role of motherhood, whether it is the first time or you have more than one child, can produce a host of mixed emotions.

Most of my clients feel that anxiety has consumed their whole lives. They are physically & emotionally drained but still crave meaningful relationships. They also identify as perfectionistic, depressed, and lonely. They are highly creative, an overachiever or an over-procrastinator, and an emotional sponge. Since they feel so deeply, they tend to feel ashamed of their emotions and work towards being someone different.
