Other symptoms that are common are grief, loneliness,isolation, anger, rage, fear,feeling frozen, malaise,chronic pain,sleep disorders, physical illnesses,addictions and consequences of abuse.I never fail to be awed by my patients' ability and courage to face themselves and evolve in committing to the therapeutic process.Together, we discover their creativity and strengths that they use to survive difficult circumstances.

Irritated, isolated, overwhelmed...? In the midst of COVID-19, relationship management is more important than ever. Crisis can bring out the best and worst in you and your circle. Learning the skills to regulate cycles of distress and the courage to repair wounds are crucial to emotional survival and well being. Too much social distance and too much closeness in shared living/working spaces, creates unprecedented challenges in relationships. Trained in the traditions of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychoanalysis, I will help you become a more effective (and affective) influencer of your personal and professional ties.

You don’t need to suffer in silence. With a background in crisis support, I understand how inner pain can feel all encompassing. It takes courage to allow a therapist into your inner world, but starting therapy is a powerful first step in creating meaningful change. Together, in a warm, and open environment, we will discover how your relationships and conflicts have been shaped by past experiences. The resulting insight and self-awareness will provide the foundation for anxiety relief, growth, and empowerment. I will be there to support and guide you as you work to overcome obstacles and realize your full potential.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, empathy, and honesty. I strive to create a warm, safe space for my clients to explore, grow, and develop confidence and trust in themselves. As a therapist, I focus on the person, not just the problem. My goal is to provide support and help you hone in on your resilience and resourcefulness, so you leave our sessions feeling empowered, centered, and in control.

Things may be going wrong, but there is nothing wrong with you. When we’re struggling it can feel like our pain is unique, that nobody could understand. We fear that sharing our darkest thoughts will leave us feeling alienated and rejected. Instead of reaching out, we try to fill the emptiness with food, substances, or perpetual busyness, only to find ourselves anxious, ashamed, and more alone than ever. It doesn’t have to be this way. Every one of us has strengths we can use to help us change and live the life we want.

Everyone, regardless of their age, has the potential for significant growth and positive change. This deeply held belief forms the bedrock of both my professional and personal life. I approach my work from a place of empathy, humility, and attentiveness. Many people struggle with anxiety, self-doubts, unhelpful behaviors, and difficulties in their relationships. Working with the right therapist allows you to create the necessary space to explore and address these struggles in a spirit of curiosity, non-judgment and self-compassion.

While I have a commitment to those people who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression having to do with disruptive life changes. At the present time the Pandemic has forced the need to change, even so many of the habits that have worked for us. The sense of isolation has exponentially heightened fears and whatever loneliness existed before is exacerbated. This has changed my practice both physically and as it relates to style. Support is so necessary to guide the way to management of fears and management of major transitions. My background includes many years at the Out Patient Unit of the Veterans Hospital Post Traumatic Stress
