I have been practicing with a diverse clientele for 26 years, with an expertise in relationships (couple's therapy, infidelity, relationship conflict, discernment, etc.). I also specialize in anxiety, trauma, addictions and working with high-achieving individuals. My approach involves helping clients develop insight about why they are finding themselves "stuck," while also teaching useful skills that facilitate behavior change; both are crucial for lasting change to occur. Insight provides understanding and self-compassion. Skills help us function better in our day-to-day lives. My approach is empathic, collaborative and practical.
I tailor my approach based on your needs. With couples, my approach is informed by Emotion Focused Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. With individuals, my approach is informed by Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and 12-Step Facilitation.
I received my clinical training and then worked in NYC for 17 years. I have worked in multiple roles (therapist, supervisor, director, executive director, CEO) so I know firsthand the art of balancing a demanding career with interpersonal relationships. 10 yrs. ago, I moved my practice to MD and DE.
