Perhaps you are feeling unsure how to help your child or yourself cope during this difficult time. I am glad you found your way here! I specialize in helping children, adolescents, families and young adults work through the challenges that are interfering with their quality of life."

"For over 30 years I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, and relationships, as well as body-image, life transitions, and parenting including prenatal/postpartum issues. When stress, loss, or crisis override your usual coping skills, it can be hard handling the challenges of life. Talking to someone in a safe environment can help to heal and empower you. My approach focuses on listening sensitively so that we can understand what underlying patterns prevent you from fully loving and living. We work together from the foundation of a secure therapeutic relationship to find meaning and make sense of your experience."

I look forward to the opportunity to explore the ways in which I can be helpful to you!"

"Caught up in the obsession of betrayal? Feeling invisible, lost, or distraught after toxic relationships (or bad breakup?) Sick of being stuck as a victim?

I help people who have been betrayed, particularly those exiting or have left abusive/dysfunctional/toxic relationships. Achieve your breakthroughs with my extensive training and knowledge in healing methods that go deep to stop the torment and struggle of the past or present patterns."

"I use an integration of humanistic psychology and mindfulness-based therapy. One aspiration I hold for each of my clients is to experience more confident and conscious choice. I am interested in uncovering and fostering trust in the wisdom and strength that you already possess. In our work together, I create a space of compassionate curiosity where authenticity is allowed to flourish at its own pace. I bring patience and playfulness to this brave exploration and am committed to showing up candidly and non-defensively as your ally. Whatever you are facing is welcome and need not be faced alone."

"There are few things in life that we are able to do without the help of another person. Emotional pain can feel insurmountable when you are struggling with it on your own. You do not have to be alone with these overwhelming feelings. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have experience working with adults, adolescents, children and families. I have a particular interest in working with adults and adolescents struggling with eating disorders, self-image, anxiety, mood disorders, abuse and/or relational problems. I also work with children and families around issues of trauma, school problems, and communication difficulties."

"There isn't a website in the world that can describe what it's like to be with myself or any psychologist. That's why I offer an initial in-person (or phone) consultation, free of charge. This way, we can mutually decide: are we a good fit. Click on my website where I convey what you can expect to accomplish from therapy, the types of clients I see, my therapeutic style and the model I use."

"Are you anxious, stressed or unhappy in your life, work or relationships? Pressures at work, at home, and in school can be intense. You'd like to make a change, but may feel stuck or uncertain of the direction you want to try next. If you are looking for ways to bring about real, positive change in your life, I offer effective, confidential counseling or life coaching sessions. One of my passions is working with high stress executives, professionals and entrepreneurs. I also specialize in working with young adults (18-30) who are struggling with their "quarter life crisis"."

"How do we really know ourselves? Is change a wake-up call...a teacher...a process to endure? As a Somatic Counselor, I believe that our bodies and minds can work together as we face transitions and challenges in our lives. Exploring our inner worlds of sensation and movement can uncover powerful insights into ourselves and the stories we carry within us."

"One of my great passions is to embrace the paradox of accepting ourselves as we are right now, while also committing to change. So while you may be seeking therapy to get rid of some problem, I may encourage you to accept that problem, listen to it, and even to notice how it is taking care of you. Ironically, this is how problems seem to eventually go."

"Are you living a life that expresses your courage and your dreams? Perhaps you feel like you've lost, or never heard, your true voice? You may be in pain, in a quagmire, or simply ready for change. The heart and soul of my work is to help you lovingly explore and understand the material of your life, and step into the life you want. I work to help you identify troublesome patterns, heal your wounded places, forgive your imperfections, clarify your dreams, gather courage and begin living your authentic life."

"The ability to create intimacy in the present is often influenced by experiences from the past. A person hurt in the past may feel unsafe around others, even in a current interaction that is safe. In this way, the emotions of the past may actually effect intimacy more than the reality of the present, leaving a person feeling out of harmony or distant from his or her loved ones, friends, co-workers. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting are especially effective at freeing people from the emotion and behavior arising from past experience."

"Something has got to change. No one wakes up and asks to feel pain or anxiety, anger or overwhelm. You didn't cause the problem, so how could you know how to un-cause it? I'll show you how to get relief and feel more in control, more centered. There are new options in therapy to rewire and neutralize problematic material without having to relive painful memories, explain yourself or rehash the past. Using current neuroscience and a "memory reconsolidation" method, we can update unwanted thoughts or emotions so you can move forward with clarity, momentum and ease."

"My approach draws on elements from Gestalt Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, Mindfulness and Wilderness Therapy. Within these approaches my strongest commitment is to be grounded and awake as I support clients to discover how to get closer to their wholeness and create more room for their gifts and potential to actualize. I have been working as a therapist for ten years with clients in the United States, Brazil and Peru. The majority of this time I have spent working with clients with addiction issues and families in crisis."
