Do you want to FEEL MORE EMPOWERED? Is the stress of daily life overwhelming you? Would you like to learn skills to help you cope better with life's challenges and feel more confident in your choices? During my 30 + years of experience I have been helping people overcome difficulties in their lives.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapies such as DBT and trauma related therapies such as EMDR to help clients achieve a more satisfying life.

Transitions are difficult and overwhelming at any age. You feel stuck, and unable to think clearly. Many days you are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood swings, and irritability. Past traumas and the heavy weight of life are being triggered and getting in the way of your best self. Picture what it would look like to have a more positive, and stress-free life where you can move forward. I work with children and adults through issues that are causing anger, mood swings and problems with friends and relationships.

What's the bottom line in therapy? To help a client to take control of his or her own life. As an advanced level, PhD clinical social worker, (Columbia University), I apply only evidence-based techniques known to help clients learn how to live more satisfying lives, at work, school or at home. Widely trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I work in the most direct way to evaluate how they interact with others, and to identify where and how changes could be made, and where support is available. Additional training allows me to integrate the visual arts to enhance self awareness and problem solving where appropriate.

I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.

If you're trying to make it all work, while dealing with difficult emotions, uncertainty and lack of support, you're not alone.

As a high-achieving woman, no one would know that you suffer from persistent anxiety. You're healthy, happy, successful, and according to your social media profile, you are "killin' it." So, why don’t you feel you’re doing as well as you should be? Imposter syndrome kicks in, and you're constantly comparing yourself to others, and you never seem to measure up. It takes a toll on you when you are always worrying, doubting yourself, and overthinking everything. Your relationships, self-confidence, and health pay that toll. You don't want to keep feeling this way, but you don’t know how to change things. You're ready for a breakthrough
