Stress and emotional pain are feelings that we all experience and often times it can become overwhelming, especially now! Often we find unhealthy ways to cope with the pain that we are feeling and our problems get worse. With my experience as a therapist, I have helped many young people walk the path to a healthy form of emotional healing. Whether you yourself or your child is struggling with feeling down, having excessive worry, struggling to concentrate, acting out, or drinking/smoking too much, therapy can help.

I provide therapeutic services and support to help individuals and partner(s) who are experiencing sexual concerns. Many issues can contribute to impaired sexual functioning and desire like anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem and unhappiness. Additionally, sexual concerns can also be the result of a medical condition, medications, stress or relationship difficulties. I specialize in helping people and partner(s) resolve their sexual concerns, along with other psychological issues, using a broad base of treatment approaches.

I am a practical professional who is committed to those I work with. The goal is to identify actions that improve your life and translate these actions into concrete steps to promote emotional stability and effectiveness in dealing with long-standing and daily challenges. I work with adults and children helping them deal with specific problems as well as supporting their development of long-term, positive life-goals. I am board-certified in Clinical Psychology and Sleep Psychology treating adults, children, families and couples with emotional, behavioral and physical-health concerns. I specialize in treating anxiety, panic and problems such as chronic pain and insomnia.

As a skilled and empathetic psychotherapist, my goal is to help you lead the life that you desire. I pair my psychodynamic training with evidence-based approaches and techniques to determine where changes can be made to help you find relief and fulfillment in your life.

Perhaps you feel sad, incapable, overwhelmed or responsible for the hardships you've suffered either personally or between other people? Is your self-understanding based on how other people think or treat you? Whatever your struggle, the first step is finding support. I know asking for help can be hard and may seem to make things worse, like your fears are real. But let me pause and remind you that your life does not have to be dictated by others or negative feelings. Finding true freedom in relationships and with yourself is really possible! You just have to take that first step, in fact you're already doing it.

Through psychotherapy, every person has the capacity to grow and change and live the life they’ve always imagined. I can help you recognize and alter patterns in your life, develop new skills to enhance your relationships with family, friends, and partners, and move toward greater joy and personal fulfillment. I specialize in treating individuals and couples with anxiety & depression, low self-esteem, postpartum depression, parenting issues, sexual & physical abuse, domestic violence, trauma, and work-related stress. I also specialize in working with women who struggle to show up authentically in their lives.

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples, often in transition or crisis. If we work together, you will become more fully self-aware and present as you improve and deepen your relationships with others. I am a warm and engaged participant in the psychotherapy and problem-solving process and as such, I am continually awed by each person's story and the unique reservoirs found to deal with life's difficulties.

I help individuals, couples and families reconnect with and draw strength from the goodness in themselves as they cultivate positive behaviors and new perspectives on life. I specialize in untangling the patterns that cause us harm, including avoidance, addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic suffering, self harm, suicidal ideation, and low self esteem. I help couples and families find more wholesome and supportive ways to connect and care for each other.

I work with folks navigating a wide range of issues, including life transitions, burnout, stress, self-image, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. I am passionate about helping my clients feel their feelings, let go of old ways of functioning, make decisions rooted in their values, and view themselves and the people around them more compassionately. Together, we'll work to grow you into the person or partner you want to be.

I believe it shows courage to seek out therapy, especially couples and family therapy. You may be struggling with serious emotional issues, deep personal crises, relationship distress, or a sense of distance with your child or adolescent. Many couples I work with have lost a sense of connection and/or find themselves hurting each other over and over again. Many individuals I work with simply want to get more from their lives - more love, joy, and connection. I collaborate with you to create a therapy environment that is warm, safe, supportive, challenging when needed, and authentic.

A clinical psychotherapist for over 30 years, I work extensively with individuals, couples, and families treating depression, anxiety, grief, and other emotional stressors. I have broad experience working with familial issues (e.g., balancing relationships, family, career, etc.) and specialize in couples and women facing critical decisions in their lives. This includes natural life transitions such as marriage, pregnancy, and menopause. Many of my clients come from or work in multicultural environments, and I help them to address many of the challenges that arise from living in another culture. [I am bilingual (Spanish/English)]

I work with clients to create a safe and affirming relationship so that there is room for healing and growth. My work with each client is unique, however central to my work is respect for your issues, concerns, and the challenges you face in your life. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to create the changes that you are seeking in your life. I am comforatable working with a wide variety of issues from career and work life to recovering from childhood trauma and abuse.

Therapy is collaborative. I work closely with you to understand and explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and your behaviors because small changes in one area can lead to significant changes in other areas. Together we will identify and challenge unproductive thoughts and behaviors to bring about improved mood and a greater sense of well-being. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs and help you achieve your goals. I provide support and practical help so you can address current life challenges and long-standing issues.

I specialize in helping people suffering from depression, anxiety (mood disorders), early trauma, family or personal transitions, relationship concerns (including marital and/or family issues), psychosomatic issues, losses, and grief issues that are inevitable throughout our lives. I focus on understanding the underlying fears and blockages that interfere with more satisfaction and enjoyment in life--put another way, in thinking about our psychological lives and our states of mind, the past is prologue. I deeply value the uniqueness of each patient's experience and the importance of active and supportive collaboration in promoting growth and change.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Health Coach with a broad range of experience in private practice, schools and universities, a private psychiatric hospital, and community mental health clinics.

In a warm and caring environment, I help clients move forward with hope despite sometimes difficult circumstances; improve relationship and communication skills; and mobilize their strengths toward achieving life goals. I am insurance eligible, and many clients receive out-of-network coverage for their sessions.
