Therapy is a place to get to know yourself better; a place where you don’t have to care for others; instead receiving care, attention and focus from an attentive therapist. Maybe you’re sick of the same arguments, patterns, or periods of depression or anxiety. . This is not quick or easy work and it requires trust and connection with a therapist who supports you without judgement. I work with clients to gain insight into their motivations and desires, supporting them on their path through life’s ups and downs.

My clients would tell you that I'm warm, compassionate, practical and real. I work creatively to address your individual needs and use a blend of methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, mind body integration, family systems, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself. Guilt, remorse and past traumas can prevent us from moving forward and embracing our future. I will work with you in identifying barriers and creating goals to achieve your ultimate self.

Whether you are searching for couples' or individual counseling, I can help you get started. Maybe you've reached a stumbling block in your relationship. I am practiced in spotting differences in learning and communication styles, family culture, belief systems, and more, and can help you to develop the skills to move forward. Perhaps depression or anxiety is what limits you in your life. You're feeling lonely, sad, unmotivated, or you struggle with worry and fear, either of which may be compromising your sleep, impacting your work or social life, leaving you feeling exhausted.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience specializing in treatment of eating disorders, body image, and anxiety. For the last 10 years I have worked in various roles, from Therapist to Clinical Director, at several eating disorder facilities and in university settings. I work with clients who are teenagers to adults, who are struggling with a variety of mental health and life issues. I have a strong background in DBT and CBT and employ an integrative and client-centered treatment approach, drawing on various treatment modalities to individualize treatment for each client.

As a postdoctoral fellow at William James College, my passion for psychology is focused on exploring the intricate workings of the human mind and behavior. With a specialization in gender identity and LGBTQ+ issues, I am dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by this community. Guiding individuals through their struggles, fostering resilience, and facilitating personal growth is my driving force.

I work with people struggling with stress or loss. I offer understanding and compassion. I help my clients recognize and understand their feelings, improve their coping and communication skills, increase their emotional intelligence, clarify their goals, implement their plans, raise their self-esteem, and heal. I work with adults of all ages and cultural backgrounds- single, married, widowed, divorced/separated, caregivers, single parents, parents struggling with their children's difficulties, and adult children of elderly parents who are declining.

Have you reached a point where your own will has sabotaged your life? Either recognizing how small you are in the grand scheme of things, lack of ability to transcend stagnancy or break free from bad habits or symptoms that rob you of joy? I have found the difference between being alive and living is rooted in transcending your identity (or sense of self ) beyond one dimensional perspectives, and I utilize the medium of color (and archetypes) to create a bridge between the conscious and unconscious world that exists within, among, and around you.

Currently, accepting referrals for Adult DBT group starting on August 2024. I see psychotherapy as a safe place where healing and change are fostered. I help patients to be able to gain awareness of their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors so they are able to change aspects of themselves that are holding them back from having a self-fulfilling life. I believe that everybody has the capacity to change and live a life worth living. The therapeutic relationship is central. I provide a warm, caring, nonjudgemental and compassionate environment that helps clients to feel supported while working on their goals.

I provide psychotherapy for adults with advanced training in anxiety, sex therapy, and women's mental health.

I pride myself on using humor and empathy to help clients push through their struggles. I encourage clients to explore their goals for seeking change and support them in finding the motivation, insight and skills to cope.

I am currently taking new clients, but am not accepting EAP benefits..."regular" insurance and self-pay only ! I work extensively with compulsive behaviors (sex addiction, alcoholism, food addiction, etc.), depression, relationship issues, codependency, sleep disorders, career confusion, and disorganization. I offer a nice blend of pragmatic and abstract responses, a touch of humor, and a vast array of resources to direct you to for additional help. Have your insurance card handy, please, when you call. .

I am a very engaged, active therapist. I enjoy the practical while trying to understand the systemic and root nature of a problem. I'm interested in a work relationship that is collaborative, drawing on the expertise and strengths of the client. . I tend to see many different kind of couples in my practice. I like teaching couples via the ideas of the Imago technique: a different way to communicate through the " stuck places"- but with a different outcome. I enjoy the work and believe that couples can find a way back to each other and their "better selves."

Learn to work with conflict, unload stress, and safely handle strong emotions in your career and your personal life. Acquire the skill to communicate with authenticity and clarity while working to resolve differences of opinion. The therapy process combines the exploration of early life influences and current everyday personal challenges in an empathic, supportive and engaging manner. I provide a private therapeutic environment for us to engage in the deep psychological work that leads to self-awareness and behavioral change.

I am currently only accepting Intensive EMDR clients over the summer, and I specifically hold places in my schedule for college and high school students wishing to recover from sexual assault prior to returning to school. These intensives generally include three or four two hour sessions completed over several weeks or a weekend depending on mutual availability. EMDR can be incredibly helpful in recovering from sexual assault. I would love to talk to you about whether EMDR would be a good fit for you or your child. Please see my website for more information.

Finding a therapist is a daunting task, even for clinicians. While I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety-related disorders and depression, I also incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Problem-Solving, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. In addition, I have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by the EMDR Institute. My goal is to help you feel more hopeful, be happier, and have agency with your life.

Do you not have enough satisfaction in your life? Do you wish you were in a relationship? Are you struggling with the one you are in? Do you wish for a better career? Talking in a therapeutic environment helps people take more control of their lives, allowing them to experience a quality of life that was otherwise impossible. It is rewarding to see this type of change take place with my clients.

Drawing from multiple theoretical approaches (psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive behavioral; relational, mindfulness, etc.), I provide the opportunity to identify, explore, and work through challenges and desires in a safe and supportive environment.

Do anxious or depressed feelings interfere with your plans for that new job, new living situation or getting and keeping healthy supportive relationships?

My clients are no longer willing to remain stuck with old thought patterns and behaviors that limit them. Clients report that our work together is insightful, exciting and important.
