As a mental health professional, i am always guiding clients to make improvements, and it isn’t always easy. I have many clients with different mental health issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My practice offers psychotherapy services for adults, couples, and children. I believe that one size never fits all, therefore I tailor the therapy to the individual.

Most of the clients I see have a history of trauma—physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or developmental trauma, which is the residue of dysfunctional caregiving. I believe strongly that people are naturally inclined to heal; our bodies and minds lean toward wholeness, even if it often feels like we can’t get there. While we go on with our day-to-day lives, acting as though everything is okay, the parts of us that were hurt—most often young parts—are still waiting and hoping for some kind of resolution to their pain. In therapy we look for those parts and take care of them; we nurture them and help them heal.

Most of us experience challenging times in life including struggles with stress levels, regulating emotions and dealing with the relationships that surround us. It can be hard to know how to improve our lives or our relationships when all of this is going on. Many of us can greatly benefit from developing a productive therapeutic relationship to manage these issues.

My approach to tackling life's difficult moments is via the interface of classical Judaeo-spiritual teachings and the psychological approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. (CBT). The cognitive behavioral approach to psychotherapy teaches that ideation determines the way one feels and acts. Changing the way one thinks triggers a change in the way one feels. I also use "a strengths perspective" focusing on the client's stengths which serve to compensate for one's weaknesses. The interface of these three approaches is transformative, and life changing serving to help a client return to his or her innate and authentic self.

As an eclectic, creative therapist, I believe in doing what works. I use EMDR, an evidence based treatment, to heal trauma and correct negative core beliefs that drive your problems.

End compulsive and addictive behaviors, instead of using a substance, a process, or a relationship for instant gratification and to escape intolerable realities.
