"It's hard to find the right therapist. Finding a good fit is very important, however, going through profiles, you may not be entirely sure what you're looking for. I recognize how difficult the first step can be and I see your willingness to stick your neck out as gutsy as well as a sign of strength and resilience for which we will build upon. Good therapy reaffirms life,helps you tap into joy & find meaning and pleasure in life, it improves your relationships, and strengthens your self esteem."

"Most of the mental suffering we endure (if not due to present grief and loss) arises either from our fervent attempts to resolve uncomprehended emotional conflicts, or because we never learned to endure and adapt our unruly interior lives to the world around us. I help individuals to feel better by attending to what they feel in the moment, as a way of understanding how they have come to be themselves -- and how who they are is at odds with what they want to be and feel. I am trained both in "classical" psychoanalysis and in Columbia's pioneering Program in Narrative Medicine."

"I am an experienced psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples address their difficulties in a thoughtful manner.

I have seen so many people benefit and thrive by doing so. I look forward to helping you be your best self."

"There are many reasons why people seek therapy, and reasons differ significantly in terms of how particular problems and circumstances influence their lives. I work with adults, teens, and couples seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, poor self-assertion skills, identity issues, life stressors such as death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, career change; and people who have difficulty maintaining meaningful relationships both in their personal and professional lives. I work also with couples in helping them find solutions to problems in an otherwise satisfying relationship. Please enquire about insurance options."

"I am warm, open, and informal. People feel safe and comfortable enough to trust me with their secrets, fears, and intimacies. I am aware that by the time you call a therapist, you want some relief! So, I work from the "Top Down" -- giving stress-relief, relaxation, new perspectives, and ways to help you to feel better quickly --as well as from the "Bottom Up", so you understand why you are the way you are, and how you might change what you want to..."

"I believe that we are all unique and different in our own ways and that there is not a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. As a therapist, I am responsible for providing my clients with an environment that feels safe, comfortable, and free of judgment. I know that it can often feel overwhelming to know where to start when you decide to see a therapist. What you are dealing with today, in the present, can be the best place to start."

"With a lifelong interest in holistic health practices, I believe that self-healing happens on many interlaced levels of care for the body and self, and supports the interweaving of different practices for optimal wellness.

"By reading this today you've already made the first step toward finding some relief and creating the life you want. Most people desire a life filled with growth, love, intimacy, and meaning. As human beings we create these gratifying experiences through an authentic and positive connection with ourselves and others. Sometimes this process is hindered due to difficult life experiences such as loss of a loved one, career transition, or relationship issues. It can be difficult to cope with these challenges alone. I am here to help, listen, explore, and collaborate with you on this journey towards healing."

"Wouldn't you love to know WHAT to eat, HOW to eat and WHY your past efforts haven't brought you sustainable results? Wouldn't you love to know that you can transform your relationship with food from one that is mired in fear and confusion to one that is joyous, loving and free? The Freedom Promise programs will give you powerful insight and strategies related to letting go of disordered eating behaviors and limiting beliefs that keep you tied to a toxic relationship with food. You will examine what you eat and who you are as an eater."

"Each of us is unique. The basis of character and personality is heavily influenced by the interplay of unique past, present, and future experiences and expectations. This means that treating the individual requires a dynamic approach as there is no single technique to address the unique combination of issues that an individual confronts. By combining various techniques within the psychodynamic framework, clients are guided through the process of not only understanding the concerns and issues they face on a daily basis, but through the process of gaining a better understanding of self. Through this process, obstacles are explored that may hinder personal development and growth."

"Do you find that you have organized your life around self-protection and avoidance in response to a painful or negative experience? Are you struggling with the impact of a traumatic event? If you find yourself unable to move on from the past, managing feelings and reactions that you believe should have long disappeared, it is easy to become despondent and overwhelmed. However, these difficult experiences and the painful aftermath can lead to tremendous growth and potential - the possibility of leading an even more fulfilling life once they have been right-sized in your daily experience."
