Change can be intimidating. We develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood, causing disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. My approach to therapy is rooted in helping clients develop a deeper understanding of these patterns and effecting change and empowerment through insight, support, and challenging maladaptive beliefs.

I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc. I provide high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I also do "second opinions" for anyone experiencing therapy stalemate and/or major change. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry--a disguise to the depth of fear(s). Anxiety ensues and one doubts whether the "new" is possible.

Therapy is an experience that can benefit everyone. It allows us to take the time to look closely at ourselves. It can help us manage difficult life changes and improve our relationships. Everyone experiences stress and worry, and speaking with a psychologist who is nonjudgmental and objective can help us understand how to achieve our professional, personal, and relationship goals.

Perhaps you are doubting your abilities and self-worth; or maybe you are facing challenging situations and uncomfortable changes. You might be feeling "stuck", confused and uncertain as to how to move on from past experiences or how to manage worries about the future. Let us work together in identifying and accepting your true self and developing the skills to handle life's stressors. Let us work towards embracing every day in a meaningful way. Whether you are a seasoned creative professional, or a hobbyist slowly exploring her creative side, our practice will help you overcome the psychological obstacles that get in your way.

Your life has changed in the last couple of months. While it is natural to respond to our new reality with fear or numbness you may feel stuck in those feelings. It is possible to become unstuck from the internal suffering. Together, we will be curious about emotional and psychological patterns, anxiety, depression or relationship issues to establish new boundaries, feel empowered and affirm your own rhythm, even during these challenging times. As people do this profound work, they report a greater sense of aliveness, increased creative flow, and their relationship with themselves and others feels more meaningful.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in treating anxiety, depression, emotional instability, pregnancy and postpartum difficulties, relationship concerns, trauma, and difficulty with life's transitional periods (i.e., loss, breakups, new jobs, etc.). When your coping mechanisms are no longer sufficient, and you're feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, anxious, disconnected, or out of control of your life, therapy is an opportunity to learn how to increase your ability to manage life's demands, improve your quality of life, and accomplish change.

As a therapist, I aim to make my clients feel seen, understood and accepted unconditionally. However you identify, I want to uncover what makes you you - your values, beliefs, and outlook on life - while also maintaining an appreciation for overarching human needs, such as the desire for connection with others and the longing to feel understood. My therapeutic style is warm, active, and nonjudgemental. I am devoted to providing a safe space for clients to work through both past and present issues.

Anxiety, depression, relationship problems and stressful life transitions often trigger the desire to seek help from a psychotherapist. It is my role to create an atmosphere of trust and safety conducive to the telling of your story and challenges and then exploring new ways of working on these. I like to introduce different ways of thinking about a problem to open up various possibilities and solutions. Together, we work to move you closer to your goals.

If you are beginning your search for a therapist, you have already taken a courageous step. You may be at a place where the feelings you are experiencing and the circumstances you are in are creating a lot of distress. You want help, but perhaps are not sure what the therapy process is really all about. Or, you may be familiar with therapy and are looking to start again. I welcome you to start exactly where you are, and I hope that my empathic, non-judgmental, interactive approach helps you to feel that you have taken the right step.

We use positive interventions which are ways of promoting superior/optimal functioning rather than merely alleviating pain or restoring the individual to a previous baseline functioning. We believe that your previous best should be your new baseline. We seek to wake people up to the possible in their lives and teach them how to engage their own intrinsic resources. While a retrospective approach is helpful in identifying old patterns, that is really only relevant in understanding how those patterns may impede or support the future focus.

In my practice I operate from within an interactive, holistic approach, incorporating psychodynamic perspective based on empathy, acceptance and understanding as well as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment methods. My therapeutic philosophy acknowledges the specific and unique needs of each individual client. I foster a practical approach based on the above principles, allowing us to create a supportive relationship together. Our process will be goal-oriented, and during our interactions we will facilitate healthy coping techniques as part of the healing process.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my passion lies with helping children and families effectively navigate their daily lives. Over the years I have worked with children and families, collaborated with different professionals and advocated on children’s behalf within the education system. I provide a warm and supportive environment where I help children and families address issues such as: managing overwhelming emotions, developing social skills, creating a positive sense of self, building strong communication skills and more.

The decision to enter therapy is often a courageous one. Whether you have been in therapy before, or this is your first experience delving into the psychotherapy process, I welcome you. Our work together will be a supportive journey to discover and heal that which ails you - your struggles, relationships, your wounds, trauma, a psychological disorder, or whatever it may be that is causing you disharmony in your life. As a naturally intuitive, compassionate, tender and deeply empathic therapist, I create an environment for my clients that allows them to move at their own pace.

I specialize in anxiety, insomnia and life purpose because they’re challenges I’ve personally overcome. I help people find the exit ramp out of anxiety. I understand how much the race for external validation has cost you. Living in repeating cycles of overwhelm, avoiding, then shaming yourself for it. You wonder if you have to live with the physical symptoms and insomnia forever. And the highest cost of all – you never got to know yourself. Paradoxically, your anxiety is actually a flashing signal to change. Work with me and discover the way back to you. And, if it feels like chronic insomnia has taken over your life, there’s hope.
