Trust is the most important part of any relationship. It's important to be able to trust others but more importantly to trust yourself. “The true key is trust in self, for when I trust myself I fear no one else, I took control of my life, just as anyone can, I want everyone to see it’s in the palm of your hand, the past is gone, the future yet unborn, but right here and now is where it all goes on”-MCA Beastie Boys. With trust you can increase your connection to others as well as increase your ability to tolerate life’s ups and downs and enjoy life in the moment.

Accepting new clients! Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Perhaps you feel like you don’t know what to do or who to turn too. I understand this feeling, but I also know what it feels like to fully recover from this dark place. I believe that anyone who wants to change their life is able to take the steps necessary if they have the right support. At Olive Branch Therapy Group we are here for you to start that journey. During this therapeutic journey, we will begin by building a strong, supportive rapport. I understand that nothing is more important than feeling heard and understood.

I believe in the power of consistent support and structure to guide clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. We're plugged into a fast paced world where we are bombarded with issues when we have responsibilities of our own. We go to war with our emotions and thoughts which makes it hard to tend to what excites us. When our minds are constantly running, it can feel impossible to be engaged in the present moment let alone dig deeper. I place a strong emphasis on emotional processing, anxiety management, and the exploration of feelings related to dependency and fear of loneliness.

As a Licensed Social Worker and certified Trauma therapist, I aim to support my clients in navigating life's challenges, fostering a transformative experience that promotes inner purpose and resilience.

People struggling with fears, depression, relational problems, especially people who have somehow "lost" themselves tend to experience me as deeply compassionate yet able to target the primary cause(s) of their pain and identify what they may be doing to contribute to the ongoing problems in their lives. A sometimes surprising part of my therapeutic manner is that I am interactive in sessions while maintaining great respect for a person's capacity to direct their own lives and utilize their current pain toward growth of their real self and, hence, an enlivened life.

A 12 year-old patient recently commented that our work together is like "a cocoon" & that at the end of the sessions, she leaves "stronger, lighter, & free." This profound insight is so meaningful to me since this is precisely how I conceptualize how psychotherapy works. Counseling can only be done in a trusting, gentle, & protective manner. Within this safe vessel, it creates in the person a sense of trust that will enable them to tolerate frustration, persevere, have confidence, and subsequently develop loving attachments in their adult life. This in turn, positively impacts health, optimism, hope, and life satisfaction.

I've been in private practice for 24 years as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and a psychoanalyst. My method aims at deep changes in the personality so that your troubling symptoms are relieved in a more permanent way. Often, you don't know why your life feels so unsatisfying,why relationships feel troubled or why you cannot seem to choose what will make you happy.Or there may be just a particular area of difficulty in a life that seems to be going rather well.

Virtual sessions only. Do you want to create a more peaceful and happy life for yourself and/or your family? Together, we can address your concerns and achieve your goals without judgment. I have over 20 years of experience in the field working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I am most passionate about working with adults dealing with relationship, family, phase of life and communication issues, parenting issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adoption, disordered eating, generational trauma and more. I use humor and a humanistic collaborative approach to help you achieve your therapy goals.

I enjoy working with all kinds of people, because each opens a window on a unique world, new to me. I enjoy the process more when a client is motivated to do the work, but struggles are part of the process for many clients and a challenge to therapists to become better therapists. I don't pathologize and I regard what some therapists call "resistance" as a signal that I need to be doing a better job of remaining open-hearted. Most of us struggle at one time or another, some more than others. I encourage you to call if you or a loved one in your care is struggling and decide whether I may be of assistance.

Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking and/or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back.
