*I am a Licensed Counselor and Certified Tele-Health Therapist.* Are you feeling alone or isolated? I'm here to help. Through meaningful conversation, you and I will navigate your issues with proven problem-solving techniques, coping skills, and self-reflection. My goal is to help you map out opportunities for growth, awareness, trust, and mindfulness in your life and your relationships. I provide professional counseling services with an approach that is conversational, non-judgmental and supportive. Some of my specialties include; anxiety, autism, depression, grief, guilt, life transitions, relationships, trauma, and trust.

I offer psychotherapy and coaching for individuals and couples for emotional, communicational, behavioral and interpersonal problems. I have practiced and taught in Europe, Japan and in the U.S. for 25 years. My areas of specialty are relationship issues, divorce, sex therapy, sex coaching, life coaching, anxiety and stress, depression, emotional and communication problems, adolescent issues, and psychosomatic problems. My therapy is multidimensional. Depending on client's needs, I use cognitive, behavioral or psychodynamic approach.

It can be difficult to take the initial step to contact a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable and supported.

You feel so different from other people. Trauma has resurfaced and crept back into your life. You are having trouble being your authentic self, or maybe you don’t even know what that is. You have tried everything, but continue to feel worse. Your drinking and substance use have increased in an attempt to just feel anything other than how you’re feeling right now. Your relationships are suffering—no one gets it. Your hobbies are no longer enjoyable. You have no idea why something as simple as going to the grocery store is Just. So. Hard. You are feeling overwhelmed and discontent, and you’re not sure why. That's where I come in.

Are you looking for a warm, accepting, non-judgmental experience that guides you toward concrete and meaningful changes in your life? I work with adults, couples and adolescents presenting with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating concerns, low self-esteem, relational problems, ADHD, adjusting to specific stressors, and grief/loss. I am also bi-lingual, fluent in both English and Spanish.

Through counseling, we have the opportunity to look at our lives and evaluate them with knowledge instead of assumption. I work with people to instill hope, correct erroneous beliefs, confront harmful behaviors, develop social competencies, mature spiritually and understand their own self-worth. Because each person is uniquely individual, I take an eclectic approach to therapy. I use a variety of therapeutic tools including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), Gestalt techniques, Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT) and client-centered techniques.

I work with individuals who struggle with personal relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression and grief. I provide a warm, positive and supportive environment in which clients have an opportunity to be heard so that they may move forward in the healing process. As a specialist in women's issues, I am committed to women's emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults (preschool-age 80+). I am fortunate to have helped individuals over the past 20+ years as they strive to overcome life's challenges and access life's joys. While a variety of therapy techniques that I am trained in can be of value, clients and I select the ones that they find to be most helpful to them personally. I primarily see clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, divorce, school/work and family problems, ADHD, Autism, childhood issues, and processing past traumatic or stressful life events.

**Currently Accepting New Clients.** My goal is to help you function at your optimal potential and live a life that is authentic, genuine, and aligns with your personal values. Our behavior and perception of ourselves is influenced by our individual history, relationships, and how we make sense of our lives. Difficult situations face all of us. Gaining awareness and understanding of our challenges is part of the dynamic process toward change that can occur in counseling. We can work together to help develop skills to help you cope and manage through life's challenges.

I am a clinical psychologist with 30 years' experience working in diverse settings. My experience is most extensive in the treatment of children, adolescents and their families (including behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety, and parenting issues), although I also provide mental health services to adults and couples. My basic approach to therapy is to help the client/family to identify and build on current strengths and become more aware of ways to use these strengths while also developing new skills that will be helpful in addressing the concerns that are presently causing stress/distress for the client/family.

I am offering virtual sessions during the Covid-19 restrictions. What would it mean to you to finally get to the root of your pain and find a way through? How would you feel if you woke up each morning believing in your core that true transformation was occurring in body, mind and spirit? Imagine what it would feel like to experience soul-healing techniques and get proven tools to apply to your life in order to resolve conflict, uncertainty, childhood pain, relationship dysfunction and other obstacles that rob you of a fulfilling and joyful life.

We all have struggles. Despite our best efforts/intentions, those struggles can leave us feeling overwhelmed and we don't even understand how we got here. I want to help you explore and address your concerns, by encouraging a sense of curiosity and humor, when appropriate. Rather than approach our troubles with fear, let’s look at them with interest – be curious about ourselves, how we came to be who/how we are. Learning to be curious about ourselves and the challenges we face, finding humor and grace along the way, allows us to be less judgmental and feel less ashamed of ourselves/our struggles – and move forward on solid ground.

*I am not accepting new clients at this time* I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as chronic pain or other chronic medical illnesses. I can help with processing new medical diagnoses or learning skills to better manage pain and physical health. Therapy can help you (or your child) address challenging situations and stressful transitions in your life by providing a space to process your thoughts and emotions, as well as learning helpful coping strategies.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I value addressing life challenges that families, couples and individuals face from a systemic and holistic approach. My hope is to create an environment that is safe and encouraging for all members to feel valued and supported. I counsel couples through the many stages of life, including pre-marital consultation,fertility issues, becoming new parents, divorce and the everyday stress and challenges that couples face in today's hectic world. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, family problems, or parenting we can work together to help you utilize your strengths and positive qualities when addressing life issues.

Life can be overwhelming, stressful and confusing. I get that. Sometimes we all need a little help navigating through the rough waters. I will listen to your concerns and hear what you are saying and notice what you are not saying. I will help you identify new coping skills to deal with the specific life difficulties you are facing. I view therapy as a journey that you and I will take together to figure things out in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.

*Accepting new clients!* The human mind is a wonderful, terrifying, amazing, intense thing. So this is scary, right? The idea of actually INVITING someone into your brain instead of continuing to avoid everything like you have been. But that hasn't been working. And while it's safe, it's not fulfilling or true LIVING--it's pure survival. And it's probably why you're here. Sometimes, in order to heal, we need to lean into discomfort and work with our shame and resentment. But arriving authentically means we can REALLY dig into the stuff that's been holding you back. And I'm here to walk with you, through it, rather than around it.

In a nutshell, I help stressed out and depressed individuals, struggling and troubled couples, and those who put themselves last. If you feel stuck, or are tired of recycling the same unresolved issues and patterns, therapy can help you develop effective strategies for coping with and overcoming these issues. And in the process, you can also create healthier daily living habits (e.g., exercise, meditation) and reset your goals and path.
