As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It can be difficult to know if you are on the right path, have healthy relationships, and are satisfied with your life's direction. How do you feel about where you are headed? I can support your self discovery in a compassionate and understanding way. I work towards identifying one's strengths and empowering clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems and life transitions. I specialize in working with young women, new moms and couples navigating the transition to motherhood and parenthood.

Could you use support and someone to listen without judging you? Do you need some skills to cope? Increasing awareness and learning effective ways to handle situations and communicate feelings can lead to positive change and more meaningful relationships. I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and DBT (Dialectical) in my practice. Anxiety, depression, relationships, sexuality, gender identity, substance use, exercise/eating/sleeping routines are all subjects we can explore.

I see my role in the therapeutic process as an agent of change and flicker of hope. My only goal is to help you make the necessary changes in your life so that you can experience joy, love, abundance, and meaning. I believe that the only way for any of us to heal and grow from the pains of our experiences is with someone who can not only provide an understanding to what we're going through, but help us experience something different. I seek to achieve this outcome with you through a collaborative relationship and instilling empowerment in you.

I enjoy working with adults who are ready and willing to work on issues that stand in their way of being content in their lives.

If you would like things to be different in your life and are ready to see if we can work together, please give me a call.

Life does not proceed as we each envision it. It can be unexpected, messy, complicated, disappointing, tragic, and challenging. In countless ways we strive and struggle. We can feel ourselves to be adrift. Yet we are connected, radically interdependent. Even so, we all have our own perspectives on life and our struggles. We each are tethered to our environment, our social roles, cultural identities, interpersonal, historical, professional experiences, and so on. Through exploring this web, and the various vantage points that the web offers, a unique therapeutic process emerges for each person.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in 4 states, (California, Florida, Virginia, Maryland). If you are motivated to do your part, what I will bring to our relationship is my passion for psychology which is as fervent today as over 30 years ago when I hung out my first shingle. My job will be to figure out how to help you arrive at your pinnacle given your unique temperament and situational challenge. Your job will be to do the work.

A psychotherapist and credentialed schoolteacher, I have worked with children of all ages and their families for the past 20 years. This unique background--combining family therapy, child development, and education--provides a strong foundation for meeting individual, child, and family needs and fostering long-term happiness and success. In general, the families I work with are dealing with issues of infant, child, and adolescent development. Families may be facing such challenges as preparing for the arrival of a newborn, children’s behavior issues or depression, school-related concerns, and life transitions.

We live in challenging stressful times. Expectations and pressures of all kinds can overwhelm our ability to cope and live the life we truly desire. If you feel stuck from tackling these issues on your own, I am here to accompany you. I believe that real healing and flourishing is possible when an individual is motivated to examine his or her struggles in a supportive environment. I have worked as a therapist and an educator in a variety of settings for 20 years, including community mental health, private practice and college/university counseling centers. My training and experience equip me to address a range of issues.

Realizing there are times that are too overwhelming to handle on your own is scary. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe environment that supports children, families and adults through whatever life circumstance they are struggling with. I encompass a gentle yet direct approach with my clients, and ensure every unique individual diversity is honored and respected. I draw upon therapeutic modalities that help the individual re-establish a relationship with their lost inner strengths and opening new perspectives that foster more self love and compassion.

Life satisfaction hinges on the quality of past & current relationships because we grow in relationship with others. This is what therapy is all about. I work with adults, adolescents, college and transitional-aged clients to unearth the roots of inner distress, expand awareness, curiosity, energy and empowerment. Life is not rigid, it flexibly ebbs & flows. Growth, while scary demands a surrender of outdated beliefs and behaviors, leaving a familiar comfort zone. But guess what? You will not be alone.

Changing old habits and building emotional resilience makes sense at any age. I base my theoretical approach on the widely researched neuropsychological findings of Attachment Theory. Underlying successful treatment is the richness of the therapeutic relationship. I use evidence based methods including CBT, Mindfulness and brief psychotherapy.

Choosing to search for a therapist can be difficult and scary. Whether you are navigating stress, life transitions, reckoning with your identity or complex mental health concerns, I provide an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment that supports healing, growth, and empowerment. I offer support to adolescents, adults, and families, with a special interest in working with emerging adults. I understand the role of a therapist can be both a resource and a witness as you discover what needs tending.

Most of us have come to a place in our lives where we could use some extra support, look at things in a different way and make different choices. Therapy can be helpful in assisting families and individuals in managing relationships and mental health issues. Therapy is a safe and confidential place to freely express your concerns and be heard. It is a cooperative effort between the therapist and client.

I have over 20 years experience helping children and parents better understand the gifts and needs of differently wired people. I seek to understand a person's sensory needs, social emotional needs and relating style. This discovery process attunes families to their children, whether young or grown. it provides older children, teens and adults a better appreciation of their gifts and insight into past struggles. And most importantly, it points to a way forward in life

My clients are curious, growth-oriented people who seek lasting change. They want a therapeutic experience that offers more than traditional talk therapy.
