Often people reach out for therapy at a time in their lives when they are in transition and ready to make changes that will better themselves. Patterns of negative thinking and self-sabotaging behaviors can make you feel stuck and often can get in the way of living your best possible life. My goal is to help you understand the root of your anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-image issues and/or trauma and to work through these problems so that you can become 'unstuck' and move forward in a more positive, self-freeing and fulfilling direction.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified in the advanced training of Perinatal Mental Health in Connecticut, New York, Maryland and Virginia. My practice is rooted in my recognition that while the transition into, and experience of, motherhood is often depicted as tender and joyful, it can also be met with feelings of isolation, worry, depletion. My intention is to work alongside women to explore skill-building strategies, to process role and identity adjustments, and to help women move through transitions knowing they are not alone.

The natural evolution of life brings many stressors and transitions our way. We may be faced with relationship problems, choosing a life path, difficulties at work/school, family upsets and more. Feelings of disconnection, confusion, grief, anxiety, depression and others can be difficult to manage. Increasing self knowledge may enable us to confront such challenges with less difficulty. Greater internal understanding often brings about a stronger understanding of why and how we react, moving us toward a more healthy and fulfilled experience.

I became a psychotherapist to help support others through life's challenges. From relationships to family to career, life can be a roller coaster of events. I believe that creating some space in your life, even just one hour a week, can be very beneficial to your health and overall well being. As the saying goes when flying on an airplane, "...make sure to put the oxygen mask on yourself first before attempting to help others around you." This is crucial. If you are not well, how can you help take care of those around you?

There is no reason to delay... a better life is yours for the making!

The specific challenge may be a relationship that isn't working, a pattern of behavior, a way of treating yourself or other issue. I am easy to talk to and highly interactive.

My clients come in with many different troubles and often, the troubles lead to a great many other problems that they have or have had in their lives. There is no problem too big and there is a way to live better. I believe we are looking for contentment. To feel "okay" and, today's society tries to warp us into believing we are not okay because we need something else than what we have right now. We all have the capacity to choose a better life, better relationships, better care for ourselves. The answer is not outside of us but within.
