Do you often find yourself feeling indecisive about opportunities in your life? Or do you sometimes feel like there are no opportunities at all? Do you feel a lack of connection with those around you even though you love them? Do you find yourself awake at night and nervous for no reason in particular? If so, you could be dealing depression or anxiety and just need help coping with the events in your life. If this sounds like you, you may benefit from working with a counselor. I specialize in helping clients learn how to reframe their negative thought patterns using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach.

I am a blossoming therapist, looking to help you identify the strength and balance you already posses. Life has a way of providing thorns in addition to our roses, my hope for you is to continue receiving your roses and gain skills necessary to deal with the thorns.

As an Associate Clinical Professor at Yale Department of psychiatry, I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. My therapeutic approach is to help individuals and couples better understand the conflicts in their life and find healthy ways to resolve or cope with them tapping into their strengths and their social support. In addition to my private practice, I have been working at the Department of Veterans Affairs for many years as a supervisory psychologist and I have published extensively in the field. I have also supervised and trained psychologists and psychiatrists in psychotherapy both in the US and abroad.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience in working with individuals, families, couples and children. I have worked in mental health and substance abuse programs as well as in private practice. I work closely with ny clients on emotional issues as well as concrete issues that might include legal complications, housing needs, finances, entitlements. I ofen advocate for my client with organizations and agencies who coordinate housing, unemployment, entitlements, court support services and education. In this way I help my clients address the real life needs that often result in depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction

I have openings for group psychotherapy. It includes 2 sessions of individual intakes before joining a group. I have been in private practice for 35 years treating a wide range of personal and emotional issues for professionals, artists, creative individuals, young adult women, mothers, career women, men in relationships, teenagers in stressful family relationships, parents wanting to improve parent-child relationships of all ages, and couples.

When we work together, I am not just your counselor, but your advocate. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner. I have 7+ years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, individuals, and families heal from past experiences and understand behavioral patterns and where they come from. I have a special passion for working with adolescents and young adults to deliver compassionate and trauma-informed care. It's my top priority to help you feel comfortable, engaged, respected, and empowered to work through whatever you are experiencing. With me, you are in the driver's seat of your care.

First and foremost, thank you for taking such a brave step as we understand that vulnerability is not easy. I commend you. Now, why are you ACTUALLY here? Often a question thought but rarely asked. Even more so, the answer is rarely discovered. Therapy is derived from the meaning "to heal". As we understand, healing looks different to everyone. Therefore on your journey, it is important to Uncover, Recover and/or Discover those parts of your wonderful self that may be lost or damaged do to actions or beliefs of others or yourself.

I genuinely believe we are each magical beings that have something incredible to offer the world. Sometimes we struggle with our own authenticity when we struggle with issues like: substance use, body image, self-esteem, gender identity, disorder eating, past trauma and levels of systemic oppression people in our lives may not understand. I believe becoming your most authentic self is possible. I also believe each person, especially queer people deserve to have healthy, safe, loving relationships free from judgment and we are here to help you a long the way.

The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage. Part of the difficulty lies in choosing the right person to work with. All of us want to work with someone who cares, knows how to listen, does not judge, and ultimately is healing and can help in problem solving. In my 20 years of experience, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, families and couples. I enjoy this population enormously. My biggest strength is my empathy. My clients feel safe with me; they know I am an invested therapist and that I truly care. I am passionate about love, compassion and equality. I create peace every day.

We serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Whether they are just starting out in life, or well established, our clients want more from life. More happiness, more love, more freedom to be the best person they can be. We help our clients accomplish this by changing unwanted behaviors and healing painful emotions from life's unexpected crises, or wounds from the past. Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic.

Maybe you feel like you're on autopilot and are simply tired of feeling burned out. Or maybe, you are looking to deepen your self-awareness, shift patterns, and improve your relationships. My practice offers you a safe place to challenge yourself, explore, and create the change you want and deserve.

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming for all of us at times. Facing them alone does not have to be the case. Whether you are struggling with a life transition or loss, having problems in your relationships, or managing a long-term mental illness, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to cope and make positive changes. Asking for help is a healthy first step toward regaining a sense of control of your life. It is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Effective therapy looks different for each person, whether it is having a safe space to express things you have long held inside, building insight into destructive patterns in your life, or learning specific skills to improve your mood or navigate daily stressors. My goal is to meet my clients where they are now and work together toward improving their quality of life, addressing past traumas and adverse experiences that continue to affect their life in the present, and helping them identify and take steps toward their goals. I have found therapy to be hugely healing in my own life, and I hope always to do the same for my clients.

(PLEASE NOTE: My practice is currently full). You're struggling; you aren't feeling like yourself. You'd like to understand your own feelings or those of someone you love. Maybe you feel bogged down; you can't make decisions. Or you're hurting; you've suffered a loss and you don't know how to move forward. Perhaps you'd like to feel more genuine, comfortable, and happy in your close relationships. Or you're always worried; you can't fall asleep because your mind won't stop. You need tools and strategies. I am a seasoned, Yale-trained psychoIogist and I offer compassionate, responsive, effective therapy for people like you.

I believe that "a difference to be a difference, must make a difference". I have spent most of my adult life working with people to make things different. I got my PhD in Psychology from Yale University and received a diverse training - from children and adolescents to adults and veterans. Many people at times need a listener, someone to help them figure things out, someone to help them change. I try my best to be that person. Prior to my psychology training, I was a physical therapist - and I hope that my awareness of illness and handicaps adds a dimension to my work as needed

Managing life's transitions and stressors may seem like an impossible task. If you can relate to this statement, you are not alone. Many people are feeling anxiety, sadness, and self doubt. However, you are bravely taking the first step to make a change; by exploring your options for a healthier and happier you. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you to help identify, and guide you in your pursuit of finding balance and healing; by drawing on individuals and families unique strengths.
