Hi, and welcome! Are you stressed out from juggling work, family, and trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself? Do you want a more satisfying relationship with your spouse/partner, or with your children, instead of "just going through the motions"? Does your worry or anxiety prevent you from enjoying your life? Are you depressed? Have you lost someone important in your life? Do your feel haunted by a past negative experience? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, I can help you. You can do more than just survive. Make this your best year!

I love what I do...helping people to manage more effectively and live the lives they want to! I know how anxiety and depression can impact a persons life, but I also know that people can learn skills to manage better. Maybe you have been in therapy before, and are really looking for skills to do things different? I am very solution focused. If you want to master any aspects of your life, and are invested in moving forward, then I would love to work with you!

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy. ABOUT ME: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy.

I am committed to working with individuals who have a wide range of mental health issues. With thirty years experience I am committed to the fields of anger management and domestic violence helping clients discover and alter dysfunctional thought and belief patterns that support and justify acts of anger and domestic violence. In addition I also work with couples and individuals who have a wide variety of emotional issues including loss, grief, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. I have a cognitive behavioral orientation and work with the strengths of each individual to sustain behavioral changes in thinking, feelings and actions.

Do you struggle with difficult emotions? Feel that something is missing? Unsatisfied with aspects of your life? Working together, I can help you learn to understand your feelings; untangle complicated emotions; increase positive experiences, improve communication and relationships; end cycles of depression and anxiety. Sometimes you feel the need or desire to initiate change. Other times change may present itself in a way that leaves you feeling that you have limited or no influence over your circumstances. I help people deal effectively with change.

Do you often criticize yourself for making a mistake or worry that you are a bad person? Do you tend to blame yourself when something goes wrong? If so, you are not alone. I work with folks on learning how to ground in the present moment when these feelings are overwhelming and how to create new ways of seeing themselves. I also work with my clients on discovering how they came to develop these tendencies based on cultural, familial, and societal messaging. I have specialized training in eating disorders/disordered eating, trauma, anxiety, depression, and perfectionism. I often work with women exploring queerness for the first time.

Âs a therapist who is passionate about assisting late-diagnosed Autistic Adults (formally or self-assessed), my goal is to provide compassionate support and guidance, to help you navigate the unique obstacles that you face while assisting you in fostering your strengths. My therapeutic approach is direct, open, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

You're troubled and don't know the way out. The strategies you may have tried--addictions, ruminating, blaming others or yourself, and secrecy--don't hold the answers and increase your suffering. I would be happy to talk with you about your situation and explore how therapy could help you find the way out. I understand about addiction, trauma, and the difficulty of feeling safe and learning to trust again. I can help you take charge of your life and solve problems so that you can cultivate happiness from within and create a better life for yourself.
