We strive to live our best lives, enjoy good experiences, and become content when we reflect on our past adventures. However, we often feel lost or disappointed when we are faced with obstacles.

I am accepting new patients via Telemedicine as the need for mental health support is stronger today than ever.

Another area of my expertise is working with individuals and families who are struggling with addiction and addiction-related predicaments.

My couples therapy work has spanned 20 years. In addition to the attraction and happiness of being a couple, there are always challenges.

I have worked with couples who are thinking of moving in or marrying, are married or living together, are considering divorce. are divorcing or are in post divorce situations. Parenting issues are an area of particular interest to me.

I am a depth-trained and results-oriented psychotherapist. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness and teach psychological tools for personal growth and healing in and beyond therapy.

I provide online therapy to individuals, couples, and families using psychoanalytic, somatic, coaching, evidence-based, and psycho-spiritual approaches.

I am trained & certified in EMDR, which helps a person to quickly move through recent and past trauma and successfully overcome symptoms related to PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

Do you think about food constantly (even when you're not hungry)? Are you always counting calories and weighing yourself... or taking more drastic measures? I guide women and men struggling with binge eating to liberate themselves from emotional eating, take back control, and feel good in their bodies. Keep in mind that it's not what you're eating that is the true problem; it's what's eating "at" you. If you or someone you love has an unhealthy, unhappy relationship with food, I can help!

I am an advocate for the soul’s desire for expansion and connection with others.

I incorporate both the Twelve Step and harm reduction methods in my practice. Since I honor and see the value in both modalities, I will work collaboratively with you to determine which approach would best serve your path towards wholeness.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for my patients, a space where both verbal and nonverbal communication can be expressed. The art in therapy serves to reveal unconscious material that may otherwise remain unknown, and it helps deepen the therapeutic process. You do not need any artistic skills to participate in art psychotherapy. My mission is to provide my full attention and expertise so that my patients feel seen and heard, which I believe paves the path toward growth, change, self awareness and healing.
