Life can feel overwhelming at times. Some might find it difficult to find the emotional courage to seek psychotherapy when you are already dealing with a quagmire of complex competing loyalties, identities, and personal and political conflicts. Whether you are dealing with the stress of racial identity, cultural integration, concerns related to fertility, substance abuse, or transitions throughout the life cycle, this process does not have to be an isolative experience. Carrying around those frustrations with nowhere to process them can further exacerbate difficulties in daily activities.

Therapy is a deeply personal and exploratory journey. Allowing the heart, mind, and soul to be vulnerable with another person can be daunting. This is why my clients are provided a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental environment in which daily struggles and triumphs can be processed. My ability to foster a trusting, caring, and genuine relationship with you will allow our work to be both meaningful and productive. You will receive unconditional support and acceptance, while also being challenged to open yourself to new viewpoints and make constructive changes in your life. It is an honor to help guide you on this journey.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating and body image concerns, as well as issues related to women's health, pregnancy, miscarriage, and adjustment to significant life transitions such as parenthood, work-family balance, college, career change, and loss. I believe a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential in the facilitation of healing, and the process of growth and change. I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs.

Psychoanalysis is kind of a fancy word. Really, it’s just a technique to better understand yourself, your real self. It’s about you and your relationship to your inner and outer worlds. That is, how do you relate to your self and others? How do you belong to your own experiences? Analysis is a process of bridging your understanding of your reality with the parts of you just beneath perception. It is an (re)alignment of your awareness, bringing forth facets of your self, together, allowing for realization of your uncompromised potential. This is treatment of you and your person so as to improve functioning and relieve pain.

Are you looking for an open-minded, non-judgmental therapist to help you address problems and facilitate your living a more truthful and productive life? Are you struggling with life, relationships, creative pursuits, or coming to terms with your past? Seeking therapy requires courage, and it is with respect, curiosity, and dedication that I approach this important work.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 40 years of experience. My greatest strength as a therapist is helping clients gain freedom to be aware of everything they feel and to make decisions about how they are going to express those feelings in their daily living.

No matter how many times you promise yourself that this is the last time – there is always another… Another binge… Another purge… Another meal that must be restricted… Another weight you have to reach… Another and another and another… No matter how miserable this is, no matter how many times you promise yourself that this is the last time – there is always another. It's torturous, it's misery, and it's dominating your life. The good news is, that when you're finally ready to break the cycle, there is help - and hope.

My training in mind/body therapy and clinical hypnotherapy are powerful tools that are strss-reducing and facilitate your feeling empowered.

My style is active, non-judgemental, supportive and collaborative . I believe that emotional injuries from the past live in the present, effecting how we relate and react to people and events throughout life. Psychotherapy has the potential to help heal past wounds and impart the insight needed to change how one views oneself and one's own participation in conflicts and problems. I am an empathic listener and strive to help clients grow in all aspects of life.
