Telehealth for individuals and couples who are burned out from the pandemic. We are in this together and I can help you to feel less anxious, and more resilient and connected. I also help successful women and couples. Women, everyone believes you have it all together, but inside you know differently. Stress hits at the worst moments. A rude coworker or a nasty comment from your partner shatters you. At home your romance needs a tune up. But you don’t have the confidence to rock the boat. I help women just like you rediscover their strength and intuition and live bigger, more powerful lives!

I see therapy primarily as a process of self exploration which allows you to understand yourself better. Greater self awareness can help you either make different choices or experience where you are from a place of greater acceptance. We all had to go through a process to learn how to drive a car. Somehow we expect ourselves to figure out how to navigate our lives without fully understanding what drives us, how to get where we want to go, where the potholes are and how to avoid them. Before any of this can happen, you have to become more familiar with yourself through self exploration. My work is both thoughtful and practical.

Longing to feel loved, respected, valued, and wanted? I have good news and bad news. Bad news first: the love you crave will not find/fulfill you if you don't love yourself first. We need the "velcro" of self-love for outside-love to stick. We need our own fiercely protective love to set great boundaries and choose friends and romantic partners who are good for us and good to us. How we treat ourselves becomes the template for how we are treated by others.

The thought of starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we are ashamed to ask for help, or embarrassed by what we are seeking help for. The truth is, though, that in order to move forward, we have to face those things that are causing our pain and unhappiness. And sometimes we need help to do that. Asking for help takes courage. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable takes strength.
