Making the decision to embark in the journey of beginning therapy can be nerve racking, therefore finding the therapist that fits your needs is essential. I have experience with child, adolescents, and adult using individual, couples, family therapy from various socio-cultural-economic backgrounds. I believe, providing individuals with the access to appropriate, effective, and accessible Mental Health care can help individuals begin to accomplish their goals and thrive in their lives. I specializes in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment to life transitions, trauma using a holistic and strength-based approach to help clients.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Are you considering therapy for your child or adolescent? I specialize in treating children and adolescents who struggle with Anxiety, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), spectrum disorders, and behavioral and social challenges. I will help your child work through their challenges by building self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, problem-solving skills, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. I also provide child-parent therapy and parent management training. I believe that parents are an integral part of treatment, and my approach is geared towards empowering parents.

My practice focuses on Marriage Counseling, Couples Therapy and Individual Therapy. If you are in a committed relationship and having problems my training and experience will help close the emotional and sexual distance between you. I am a former editor to the Ladies Home Journal column "Can This Marriage be Saved?" and the author of three books on marriage. In individual therapy problems that cause anxiety, self doubt and stress are addressed. I offer insights and strategies to resolve personal issues so that your life has an ease of being, feels free and full, and less of a struggle.

My approach to treatment is intended to help you bridge the gap between how things are and how you want them to be. My aim is to help us both develop a deep understanding of what feels most urgent for you now, as well as what patterns from the past may be complicating your ability to live a full and satisfying life. With an increased capacity for self-reflection, you will feel you have more choice when it comes to dealing with obstacles and a greater ability to make the positive changes you desire.

You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I create an atmosphere where the client understands that it is ok to not be ok but I also push the client to independently develop their own mental resilience and identify what they need to push forward through their struggles.

My ideal client is a woman, 18-55, dealing with a life transition (e.g., college, marriage, motherhood, new career, returning to work, widowhood, etc.) or relationship issue (e.g., constant arguing, separation, divorce/break-up, etc.). She is experiencing distressing symptoms of anxiety, loneliness or sadness - she wants to feel more like herself and return to her normal functioning. Sometimes her emotional struggles make sense and are tied to a life event, but sometimes she has no idea why she feels this way, like it just came on out of the blue.

While with DBT, he helps clients learn better emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. He is passionate about building connections and assists clients in finding strengths and skills within themselves to work through any struggles they might be experiencing.

Now accepting new Clients! Perfect does not exist! We all have stories we tell ourselves,(who to be? How to show up?) Some of these stories have allowed us to thrive and succeed, while other stories no longer serve us. Seeking another narrative can allow you to have the life you desire. Whether it's individual, romantic or familial change that is desired, together we can explore outcomes that match your current desires for change.

Are you feeling unappreciated? Does he shut you out? Is she constantly criticizing? Are you having trouble trusting your partner? Do you feel less passionate? Why should you wait any longer? What could be more important than saving your relationship? I am here to help you end that negative cycle and regain your sense of trust and intimacy. Most people are not naturally "good" at sharing their love, but it is a skill that can be learned. Relationship requires dedication. No matter what you are going through we will find a way to make your relationship what you know it could be. I understand what it's like to be vulnerable.

My goal as a therapist is to create an open, warm environment where you feel safe and able to explore your authentic self. Whether you are coming to therapy to treat a specific diagnosis, seek support in navigating a life transition, learn to cope with a chronic illness or find more meaning in your life, I will support you in your journey. Utilizing the various modalities in which I have been trained, I will create an integrated and individualized treatment approach to help you become more aware of the patterns in your life and learn the skills to help you meet your goals.

A desire for change and growth is a sign of health. Sometimes we get stuck and face a multitude of external and internal barriers to becoming the person we want to be-whether is be personally, professionally, or relationally. If you are like many of my clients, you have tried a variety of traditional approaches to therapy and hit a plateau. We will work together as you pursue deeper healing and more meaningful growth that will move you towards your higher, most authentic self.
