I work with individuals who may be feeling “stuck”, but are ambitious, proactive, and motivated to make changes in their lives so they are living life joyfully and at peace. I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you gain the clarity you need to understand how your past may have contributed to current challenges, behaviors, emotions, beliefs, relationships; and also shaped you into the unique person you are today. Insight is the first step in empowering you with the skills to make necessary changes to improve your health and how you live your life. It is about showing up for yourself.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience working with adolescents, adults and couples. Having relocated to the Czech Republic I currently have a private practice in Prague. In addition I am working virtually with patients, using HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform VSee. Having lived and worked in the United States as well as abroad for many years, I have had the unique privilege of working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances within the context of community mental health, education and private practice.

I work with individuals and couples evolving through various stages of their lives, whether newly married, considering divorce or dealing with other emotional life changing events. While encouraging my clients to participate fully in the therapy process, I also hold clients accountable for their progress. I have successfully treated clients coping with depression, sex/intimacy, infidelity and anxiety issues. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with each client to help them build on their strengths and identify solutions to unresolved issues. The techniques my clients find most beneficial include: Enneagram Personality Assessments, PAIRS Daily Temperature Reading, and Relationship Detox.

Hello!! I am a provider specializing in psychotherapy, receiving my master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of the District of Columbia, bachelor’s degree from Hampton University. I treat a myriad of conditions, including anxiety, behavior, adolescent and Millennial issues, depression, couple/family and stress. I am a caring and enthusiastic practitioner whose commitment to quality patient care is foremost in my mind as I evaluate as we develop goals and method of treatment. I carefully listens to my patients and provide sound advice that would benefit them. Always here to help :)

It is my belief that everyone has the ability to overcome and grow from life’s many challenges. I specialize in helping people cope with the internal and external stressors of life, specifically in relation to medical illness, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, complex grief, and bereavement. I do so by creating a safe space in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. It is then that we can explore your personal experience while working to discover and strengthen coping skills to promote resiliency.

For more than twenty years, clients have taught me about frustration, worry, sadness and striving to feel better. I work with clients who want to be happier and less anxious, who want to improve their performance, and who want to interact positively in important relationships. Working together, we identify and increase patterns of behavior and ways of thinking that are most productive, eliminating unhealthy behaviors. I also share tools for growth, updating my clients about research findings pertinent to their concerns. Solution-oriented therapy allows clients to set and achieve their goals, becoming happier and more optimistic in the process.

Have you felt out of sync, unable to communicate clearly, frustrated and wanting to try something different but unhappy with what you've tried? I enjoy helping folks learn new ways of communicating, finding new perspectives to barriers and working through individual or relationship struggles to have their needs and wants met. If you are having difficulty making it through your everyday, dealing with the stresses of life, or managing anxiety and depression; I can help. I will help you learn new coping skills using your own personal strengths to assist you with enhancing your quality of life.

I believe everybody has a story and it is my intention to create a healing and safe space for you to tell yours. We all have learned ways of seeing and navigating the world. My hope is that through our work together, you discover and access the strategies and resilience to live and experience life optimally. I strongly value the therapeutic relationship as a means to work through difficulties and uncover your unique strengths. I am a strong proponent of using play and expressive therapies to help you learn more about your inner world & reach your therapeutic goals. I am also trained in EMDR & use that to inform my work with adults.

We specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, infertility, and life coaching. What can you expect out of therapy? 1) Reducing symptoms: We’ll work together so you feel better as soon as possible by reducing your symptoms, whether it be feeling anxious or sleep problems. 2) Figuring out the root of your challenges: We’ll explore what caused you to feel this way in the first place so you can anticipate and prevent these challenges in the future. 3) Building your confidence going forward: You will learn and practice new skills that will help you feel confident overcoming future challenges.

*TELETHERAPY ONLY* I believe people continue to grow and foster their self-concept over time. Sudden life changes, chronic stress, and ongoing personal difficulties are challenging and affect how we adjust to life transitions. I see therapy as a process aiming to empower individuals to embrace their true self, foster self-awareness and personal growth. I aim to create a trusting environment for individuals and couples to explore recurrent patterns in relationships and cope with distressing emotions. I work with trauma survivors, first responders, law enforcement, and military families. I also specialize in couples counseling.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, irritability, sadness of the unknown? Watching everyone moving on with their lives and being successful? Are you battling with emotions, thoughts and/or behaviors that perhaps are self deprecating or self-sabotaging that creates cycle of shame/guilt or judgement? Sometimes we need sounding board to hear ourselves to sort out facts and myths. I will assist you by creating safe, honest and open dialogue in a non-judgmental setting, to support you in identifying and meeting yours goals. Watching people achieve their potential is the most rewarding aspect of my work.

Sometimes even the strongest people need help to work through life’s more challenging problems. I offer psychotherapy to children, teens, adults, couples, and families, using a variety of modalities such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, play therapy, and family systems approaches. Working collaboratively, I tailor therapy to successfully address the client’s individual needs and goals. I also offer consultation with interested colleagues on issues involved in diagnosis and therapy, working with allied professionals, and encounters with the legal system.

Your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health and well being. Just as you would see your primary doctor to maintain your physical health, counseling is here to help maintain your emotional health.

I provide talk as well as somatic therapy with attention to mind, body, social and spiritual arenas. Therapy goal of facilitating positive change. I am a holistic practitioner, considering physical, emotional, sexual, social, spiritual and intellectual aspects of life as legs of a table. If the quality of life slips off too often, one or more of the legs needs adjustment. Often the adjustment needed is a more mindful, flexible approach, a set of practices for moving through acute as well as cumulative life stress and for using the tensions of daily life to potentiate growth. In practice at my current location since 1990.

When everyday life gets you down, sometimes asking for help can be the hardest. I see therapy as a journey that we take together; providing trauma inform care, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, substance abuse treatment, and support for growth and change.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of people. Ideally, my patients are those willing to to invest in an ongoing treatment that involves becoming curious about their histories, the interaction between their inner and outer worlds, and the influence all have on motivation and behavior. The ability to recognize that we all play a part in our own lives and thus contribute to our own difficulties to one degree or another is an important component of the therapeutic work and recovery. I strive to co-create with my patients a safe, secure, and consistent environment within which to work.

I have 20+ years experience in the Counseling field working in the areas of mental health, substance abuse, corrections and leadership.
