I have practiced Jungian Analysis for 40 years in Manhattan and Westport, CT. I also practice shorter-term Jungian-oriented psychotherapy and Couples therapy

The challenges life presents are abundant and complex. Whether you are feeling stuck, struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse or relationship issues, you don't need to go through it alone. I work from a person-centered approach where I meet each client where they are in their process of change to help clarify and achieve their personal goals in therapy and in life. I offer clients commitment, compassion, freedom from judgment. My areas of specialization include addiction, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, life transitions, chronic mental health issues and couples work.

When life presents you with challenges, it can be difficult to ask for the help you need. I will provide you with a safe, supportive and comfortable space where we can work together to address these challenges, identify and utilize your strengths, increase self-compassion and gain the confidence to achieve your goals. You will receive guidance to develop techniques that allow you to achieve your desired outcomes and make positive, life-long changes. I am passionate about and dedicated to the empowerment of women. I look forward to utilizing my own experiences and skills to support you on your own journey to empowerment.

I believe in the power of therapy and mindfulness meditation. I've been witness to the growth and flourishing of so many people, as they discover and release themselves from age-old blockages and fear. I know the power of releasing the 'inner critic' and the value of discovering 'wise mind.' My psychotherapy home office is a refuge, where you will have the space to look within, and free yourself from whatever inner cognition(s) are holding you back. I promise to bring you the most effective, evidence-based strategies, including advances in neuroscience, to increase your overall wellbeing and whole-heartedness.

As a psychotherapist, life coach and wellness expert, I specialize in working with people 18 and up coping with stress, life transitions, parenting, chronic illness and more. I am a compassionate and intuitive practitioner with an integrative and collaborative approach. My work incorporates my clinical training and experience, mindfulness and wellness practices, life coaching and psycho-spiritual education. I am the author of the Amazon #1 bestselling book, Inner Wealth: How Wellness Heals, Nurtures and Optimizes Ultra-Successful People, and was been named one of the top 100 Women in Healthcare by Women We Admire in 2021.

Let's partner together to achieve resolution and relief of the challenges you face. Even just after a few sessions many of my client's are surprised to discover strengths they didn't even know they had.

I am a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor at Insight Counseling in Ridgefield, CT with more than 26 years of experience. For the last 17 years I have worked in a local high school creating prevention programming, and providing education and evaluations to the students and their parents. I also have a passion for adventure- based programming, "because it helps people get out of their comfort zone". The experiential component can be very valuable to the healing process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialty in the treatment of Eating Disorders. I work with adolescents and adults who are looking to develop the psychological insights, skills and strategies that are necessary to create positive and lasting change. Together, we will expand awareness of self and others, examine the underlying long-term issues that led you to seek therapy, and work toward creating a new way of coping with inevitable challenges.

We are surrounded by a story that unwanted feelings are pathological, an illness to be eradicated by taking medication, relentlessly policing thoughts, and consuming a never-ending supply of self-care products and services. Taken alone, that narrative can conceal deeper causes of distress by focusing solely on how well you adjust to and cope with their effects. Lasting relief requires a more holistic approach, one that accurately identifies and addresses the personal, social, and structural barriers that are keeping you stuck.

Do you have trouble pulling yourself away from the computer, or making it out of the office at the time you planned? Maybe it feels like there’s always more to do. You can always push harder, work faster, or achieve the next goal – and then it will feel safe to take a break. Has that day come yet? Many professionals say it never does. It’s normal to want to build a secure future for yourself or your family, or to make a mark for yourself in your field. There is a way to do that without sacrificing your health, personal life, and general wellbeing. I help busy and stressed professionals create a balance that actually works for them.

If you want to make a change, please contact me. For individuals and couples, no problem is too small or too large; all you need is a desire to change. I am an expert listener, and once the problem is understood, we will utilize the most appropriate technique to enable you to achieve your goals. I have a weekday morning group for adults who want to improve their communication skills and increase their ability to be emotionally intimate. Please call me if you are stuck, confused, unhappy, anxious, mistreated, lost, or alone.

Whatever the challenges in your life, you have tremendous capacity for personal growth, positive change, and contentment. I use an integration of evidence based interventions to collaborate with you in creating an individualized treatment approach.

If you are here, you are taking the first step towards building the life that you want.

Through a supportive client-centered approach I specialize in helping individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, parenting problems, self-esteem, unresolved trauma, grief and loss, abuse, and relationship difficulties. I work with children of all ages, teenagers, adults and families. My goal as a therapist is to provide highly effective counseling in a safe and nonjudgmental environment that offers empathy and encouragement which will instill hope and foster growth.

*What is Therapeutic* is for you to define, and RE-define – and is not limited to sit-downs to "discuss problems." In its essence the word problem means "question," so just an openness-to-inquiry can be a healing pathway. Our worlds (and hopefully we) are constantly changing yet it's rare that we're overtly made ready to move, or flow, with these outer/inner shifts. We now know that a flexible mind serves our ability to function well, and that resilience and compassion are **skills** to be cultivated. Good counsel can help you dig deeply into your questions, your habitual patterns and your strengths to allow you more "room" to live.

I am a short term therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions and other difficulties which get us "stuck". My treatment approach will help you recognize your strengths and use them to move through these bumps in the road, transitions and crises. In therapy with me, you'll find a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can discuss your difficulties and uncomfortable feelings. I am down to earth and interactive in therapy. I will help you get to a place where you feel better about yourself, stronger, ready to face stumbling blocks and make the changes you want.
