If you are ready to get better, I am here to help you! I am extremely empathic which is great for clients (not so great for me, ha) I specialize in depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders and couples therapy, I can help you to better understand yourself. Without even being aware of it, many of us recreate the same destructive patterns in life over and over again. Through the process of therapy, these patterns can be broken and a new and happy you can take hold. But you won't feel better without first understanding what makes you do the things you do. I do zoom, phone and in-person sessions. I look forward to speaking with you!

The decision to start therapy is a very personal and courageous one. Many of the people I see are struggling with feelings related to anxiety, depression, and/or relationship conflict. As a psychologist and psychoanalyst, I have been helping people understand themselves and make meaningful life changes for over 20 years. In my work with individuals and couples, I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we work together to understand the patterns that keep you stuck and identify how you can make positive changes in the here and now.

Sometimes we find ourselves seeking help and support when life hands us a path we aren't prepared to deal with. I believe that understanding and exploring the authentic self is essential in overcoming many complex struggles. I work to help uncover what my clients basic truth is, and in doing so work with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, parenting, pregnancy, and family dynamics.

There is nothing more important than the therapeutic relationship established between you and me. As with any relationship, our relationship will be based upon mutual trust, a responsibility I take very seriously. I believe it is a privilege to help you. I am best suited to the patient who is genuinely interested in resolving his or her problems. What is the problem, what is the solution, and how do we implement it? I will know I have done my job effectively when you smile and tell me your therapy is finished.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and their families at some of the most challenging times in their lives. I have a passion for working with teens and young adults facing depression, anxiety, school issues, and family related issues. Prior to working in private practice, I worked with adults and teens struggling with a variety of mental health and behavioral issues in high schools, inpatient and outpatient programs. In my private practice, I try to create a comfortable space for teens, young adults and adults to discuss and create change for themselves.

As a therapist, I empathize with the barriers and challenges that can impede your ability to function effectively in your life. I specialize in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as I specialize in working with teens and pre-teens. My goal with therapy is to provide a safe and warm space where we can explore and create change together. Whether you seek individual growth or wish to improve relationships, I assist individuals of diverse ages dealing with a spectrum of issues, all striving to create transformation in their lives.

Do you ever feel like you're drifting apart from yourself and those around you? Are your own needs consistently relegated to the bottom of your never-ending to-do list? Do you often ponder whether life should feel more fulfilling and joyful? In today's turbulent world, it's not uncommon to experience feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty, especially when it comes to managing the complexities of relationships, careers, and everyday life. The tendency to neglect self-care and push aside personal needs can result in long-term repercussions for both your mental and physical well-being.

I have had success treating the middle aged female, 40-60, with relational, launching, re-entry and life change issues. I also integrate biofeedback of various types into the treatment program in order to either avoid or minimize medication interventions, when appropriate. I search diligently the patient's medical history and symptoms, and work with local medical providers, to rule out general medical conditons that may be driving psychological symptoms, e.g. hypothyroid and depression, or adrenal issues and anxiety or depression. Anxiety can be treated with biofeedback interventions and I provide in-office treatment and take home devices.

Are you experiencing debilitating intrusive thoughts and obsessions that will not get out of your head? Do you have to engage in time-consuming rituals to get through the day?

In my practice, I utilize Evidence-Based Practices to treat OCD and Anxiety, including CBT, ERP, ACT, and Cognitive Based Mindfulness.
