Greetings! Thank you for visiting. I am currently online only with limited morning hours. I aim to work collaboratively, leading clients to solutions that are useable tools for a lifetime. My experience as a trauma therapist in the military and private sectors has allowed me to practice with many people. Throughout my experience, I have learned the power of education and used it as a complementary modality to the therapeutic experience. I address the mind, body, and spirit connection with you. Let's explore your needs and give you the tools for life-long healing!

Does is feel like life is a treadmill and you're going over and over the same territory but never getting anywhere? Whether it's an intimate relationship that is stuck on the same issues, an addictive behavior that you can't seem to break out of, or a neurotic pattern of depression or anxiety that robes life of its joy, sometimes life can be discouraging, and trying harder in the same way brings only more frustration.

I hold an assumption that understanding the contexts of your life is integral in getting to know you, the problems that you are up against, and the knowledges you have come to in spite of those challenges. My practice is built on fostering an environment of collaboration vs. prescriptive one size fits all solutions. I would describe my work as conversations of possibility that are non-pathologizing. I do not adhere to a singular understanding of health, but rather embrace the multiplicity, nuance, and uniqueness of each person’s lived and embodied experience. This literally makes it possible for me to listen from a place of

Hello! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here today. It is a brave and vulnerable step to consider therapy, and I believe it is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. I specialize in working with women experiencing perinatal and parenting issues: infertility and pregnancy loss, depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, birth trauma, and overall adjustment to parenthood. The journey to becoming a parent is complex, and you deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated along the way. Additionally, I enjoy supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationships.

Supporting growth in self-awareness helps us lean into who we are, accept ourselves, and look at growth edges that may be painful or scary. As a therapist, I encourage my clients to achieve better ways of engaging with problems of living and improve personal well-being by expanding self-awareness and developing interpersonal communication skills. I practice from a clinical, Gestalt-oriented, developmental lens with evidence-based approaches, to support clients where they are and as they engage in the therapeutic process.

NARCISSISTIC EMOTIONAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE & IPV! Dealing with an abusive, hostile, "high profile" professional, threatening entire ecological system of your life? Your partner, spouse, boss, co-worker, family member? Putting you down and/or threatening you & in the next breath telling you how much they love you? Are you drained, devalued, debilitated to exhaustion? Trivial demands? Isolation? Are you smothered? Is your hair falling out? Are your adrenals pumping? Are you denied sleep? Devouring your will is what the abuser wants so they can control. You must not have any space or feel emotion in the relationship: especially anger.

I believe you can change by focusing on what is important to you, and your strengths. My expertise is working with ADHD, Anxiety, Addiction, Depression, Childhood & Adulthood Trauma, Relationship, and Couple’s issues. (Check my website if you're interested in more details of my approach)

Individual therapy offers a non-judgemental space for you to learn more about yourself and the issues that are troubling to you. Central to my practice is a supportive and trusting relationship in which you can feel valued, respected, and worthy. I will be with you throughout the process, offering my support, encouragement, and candid observations. Facing these issues can be intimidating and seeking help takes courage. Whether you work with me or another professional, I am glad you are beginning this journey.

Is it hard to turn off your worries? Are your thoughts intrusive and distressing? Do you feel they control you? Everyone worries at some point, of course, but it’s when the thoughts won’t go away, or you find yourself stuck in them, I can help you. Having anxiety isn’t a hopeless situation (no matter what your head may be telling you.) Far from it. My specialties and expertise are focused on treating adults and children who have anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, are going through life transitions (like life after divorce), or who would like help with their parenting skills.

Clients come with a desire for change and willingness to take on a journey of self discovery. I support the client in entering this process in whatever way feels right for them. Individuals start by looking at family dynamics, life scripts and their personal thought process. I encourage clients to make deeper connections with their feelings as well as choices and impact on others. The task of my client is to uncover parts of themselves and to develop compassion for who they have been and who they are becoming.

I have over two decades of experience using a strengths-based approach with families of all kinds. It IS possible to have high expectations for your kids AND to stop punishing, stop yelling, start enjoying your child.I customize solutions to meet your needs. Services include parent coaching and child therapy, in an office setting or virtual. Peaceful parenting, improved family relationships, more fun.

Family dynamics can be one of the biggest challenges we face, and one of the most difficult things in our lives to manage. Relationships are hard, both with partners and with children. Do you find that your children sometimes feel like more of a burden than a joy? Are you finding your child's behaviors challenging or unmanageable? Maybe something is going on with your child that is more than "just a phase." Is parenting with your partner often stressful? Do you feel like you're not being heard and your relationship is unsatisfying? If you find that you are overwhelmed or consistently frustrated, maybe you need some support.

I work with children, adolescents and adults. With children and adolescents, I do individual treatment and family consultation. The issues I work with include developmental concerns and adjustment problems, e.g., socialization, loss, divorce. I reinforce my work with children by strengthening parenting skills. I collaborate with schools as needed. My work with adults and the elderly includes life cycle issues, stress, depression and anxiety.

I am philosophically committed to the belief that people function at their highest level in the context of their relationships and their communities. I work with each client as an individual but also as part of his or her social environment. Therefore in addition to working with anxiety, phobias, depression and marriage and family issues, I offer some special services. These include: in-school observation, in-home work with children and families, relaxation training and social skill training.

I am currently seeing NY residents by video and OH residents in person or by video. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who want help with disordered eating, anxiety, and/or depression. Exploring conscious and less conscious thoughts and feelings helps to bring internal conflicts to light and resolve emotional pain. I have a supportive and calm demeanor that helps people open up about their inner life and find new ways to cope. I often recommend use of nutritionists, physicians and other professionals to best address the whole person and reduce uncomfortable and relentless symptoms.

"The only thing constant is change." Life is full of moments that require major adjustments to how we live, think, and act in the world. These times of adjustment can often be stressful, even painful. On the other hand, there exists enormous opportunity for growth during these times of change.

You make sense. I know it doesn't always feel that way; it often feels like no one understands why you do what you do, sometimes even including you. It's a lonely and disheartening feeling. I create a safe and judgment-free space for individuals and couples to discover, make sense of, and shift out of what is driving the stuckness. Together we will break patterns and heal parts of yourself you lost contact with along the way.
