How have you been doing? Are you feeling anxious, stressed, down, maybe disconnected? Do you have unresolved trauma? Anxiety and depression can be exhausting. PTSD can feel very heavy. Maybe you are having difficulty managing everyday tasks or haven't been able to heal past wounds. Seeking help takes courage and this is the first step towards feeling better. Making that first call can feel scary but I can assure you that you will feel relieved once you take that step. I'm here to help you find solutions to what's troubling you and to help you move forward to live a happier, healthy life. I look forward to that opportunity.

For psychotherapy, my speciality is in working with college-age/young adults, but I see children as young as 11.
Deciding to seek psychological services can be a difficult step. When looking for therapy, the right clinician/client match is essential. My goal is to respond to my clients with compassion, empathy, and in a non-judgmental way, as well as stay up-to-date with the most effective treatment interventions. With over 20 years of experience, have successfully treated people with low self-esteem, assertiveness difficulties, loss/grief, guilt, eating disorders, emotional eating, binge-eating, anxiety, panic, life transitions, divorce/separation, obsessive thinking, relationship struggles, "quarter-life crisis," and depression.

I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids.
*******Please see the "Groups" section about the Avoidance & Procrastination group.****** I often begin with symptom-focused behavioral counseling to attempt rapid symptom improvement. When people stay beyond that brief initial period of basic counseling, we move into long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy to find and remedy the problem's root cause.

Sometimes, life deals us an awful hand with so many wounds and hurts that we have no idea how we'll get through. We feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, depressed and don't know how to move forward with that emotion. We find ourselves stuck in the same patterns and don't know how to change them. Frequently, our relationships struggle as a result. I believe in becoming whole and healing from these wounds and hurts. I believe each person has innate characteristics that make this healing possible. In therapy, our goal is to remove these constraints that prevent you from accessing your core Self and create a life that feels lighter.

My practice is about solving problems, from relatively simple ones like smoking, weight control, or sleep issues, to deeper ones like fears and phobias, and, complex, chronic illnesses that almost invariably have multi-faceted emotional roots. Of course, chronic illnesses can rarely be dealt with as easily and quickly as, say, insomnia, smoking cessation, teeth grinding, or TMJ problems. Habits and simple fears and phobias mostly respond very well to the application of skilled Direct-Suggestion hypnosis. However, Healing Hypnosis, my specialty, is a more intensive and deeper process. That aims to get to the root of problems.
