Currently not accepting new clients - waitlist full. I work with clients, couples and families to lower anxiety and improve communication within the family and extended family. Often it helps to work with childhood trauma, or neglect as these things can carry forward into current relationships. I do work with helping couples and families identifying and working towards resolving challenges to their communication and care for each other.

Currently I'm in network with Optum (includes Connecticare, Oxford, and United), Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Medicaid and Medicare.
I specialize in health, aging, grief and loss, and work with young adults, adults, and older adults. I work with anxiety and mood disorders, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues. My approach is CBT-based; however, I believe that developing a trusting relationship between the client and therapist first is of the utmost importance in making progress.

You’re told you’re too smart, sensitive, weird. You’re misunderstood. You crave understanding and a space to work through thoughts and feelings you never got a chance to explore. You desire true connection, a life that’s worth living and relationships that nourish you.

I began practicing as an in-home clinician working with people after discharge from long-term psychiatric hospitalization. It was during that period that I received intensive training to provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The intense dialectical process has been helpful for many of my clients to achieve stability and work towards resolving traumatic experiences. Part of regulating our behavior is teaching our body and brain to better regulate so I also specialize in Neurofeedback/biofeedback modalities to support behavioral interventions.
