Do you struggle with negative feelings about yourself? Or frequently compare yourself to others, always feeling less than?

Are you always talking to yourself with "shoulds" or "what ifs"? Do you have low interest/motivation and find yourself avoiding responsibilities, self care or tasks that would actually make you feel good about yourself? I can help you!

My path to therapy has been anything but ordinary. Twelve years ago, I took a leap of faith and packed my entire life into a single suitcase, leaving South Africa behind to build a new chapter in the United States. Today, I am blessed with a beautiful family and a career that fills me with passion and purpose. Although I initially pursued acting, I soon discovered my true calling: working closely with clients like you, witnessing their personal growth, and helping them thrive! There's nothing more fulfilling to me than connecting with individuals one-on-one and making them feel seen, heard, and understood.

I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Yale University in 1974. My four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis is from the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (1993). Psychotherapy speaks the language of feelings. All of us struggle with painful feelings: fear and insecurity, sadness and grief, shame and guilt, conflict and confusion. All of us suffer traumatic experiences, large or small. I try to listen, attentively and non-judgmentally, to your feelings and experiences. Together, we work to increase self-understanding, understanding of others, and personal growth.

Relationships, friendships, transitions-and just being-can be a struggle at times. Through a holistic, multi-systemic approach, I want to help you work through these challenges. I have more than a decade of experience, working in a hospital setting and outpatient behavioral health settings, treating depression, anxiety, adjustment, trauma, and mood disorders (my specialty).

If you are not feeling heard, if you are feeling like you rarely come first, or if you feel like your opinion does not carry much weight, I can help you. Couples therapy can provide you with healthy habits for your relationship. Personal counseling can help you save yourself instead of everyone else all the time. Living in Fairfield County, though lovely, comes with its own sets of problems: financial pressures, the lonely and pressure-packed 70-hour work week, and the sacrifices and benefits of staying home with the kids.

I work predominately with adolescents and their families as well as adults and couples. I work with motivated but stuck clients who have/ are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I focus on the impact of these as well as other stressors and where the individual and/or family and couples' system is becoming fixed and unbudgeable.

Happy relationships are a refuge from other life stressors, while unhappy ones permeate every aspect of our lives. The focus of my work is on helping clients to create and sustain them. I teach clients how to become more intimate emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually with both themselves and their partners. Some of my clients are dealing with the aftermath of an affair; some are unclear about what they want; some wonder why they repeatedly push others away; and some are trying to understand themselves (a prerequisite for being in a relationship.)
