Some areas are relationships, dating, breakups, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, workaholic challenges. creativity, gay issues, and success.

What is causing the twirl in your stomach at 4AM? How do we get the racing thoughts to stop? Sometimes anxiety takes over to the point that your body hurts.

We have to unpack the bag for you to be able to breathe again. In session we will find some old hurts that never healed as we hear your story. Together we will find the parts of you that you want to keep. Together we will work towards you feeling prouder and more connected.

I see how tired you are. I see how you’ve been putting others’ needs before your own. We learned to do that as children, as parents, as women. But you also need to be taken care of. You need to love and feel loved. You need to feel safe! When these needs go unfulfilled - by others or ourselves - we get anxious and depressed. Let’s take some time for you to show up for you. We’ll look at how your past has influenced your present to make sure your relationships look different in the future.

As a solution-focused, mindfulness based cognitive/behavioral psychologist, I work by collaborating with you to identify problem areas and devise manageable strategies in the service of gradual, stepwise change.

Do you ever feel irrelevant or disconnected from others you care about? Do you feel overwhelmed with too much to do, or not involved enough with things you enjoy doing? Do you ever feel isolated or empty? Do you stay in relationships too long or not long enough? Do you have difficulty asking for what you want or what you need? Do you ever feel like you are constantly getting more than you are getting? Do you want to make some changes but feel stuck? "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". James Baldwin

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.

By better understanding who you are and where you want to go, you can live a happier more fulfilling life. My approach is supportive and empathic but, above all, practical. While I believe an understanding of the past is essential, positive change occurs in the present. I work with individuals and couples who are interested in seeking a better understanding of themselves and each other and the skills involved to know oneself and communicate more effectively.

I have been an individual and family/couples therapist for more than 25 years - It is reassuring to see all the changes that have developed over time. There are so many options for people including brief consultations as well as video sessions. I think people today are more comfortable creating good smart relationships with therapists and are seeking out a good fit. The internet helps with this. For me, a good fit would be someone who is ready for work, has an open mind, and is curious about themselves and interested in making change. I am a clinician who is direct and fairly straIght forward as well as supportive and kind.

Is your child’s thinking, feeling, or behavior negatively affecting their ability to fully engage in life? I help children and families identify challenge areas and provide support through offering individual sessions for children, family-based sessions, and parent-focused sessions. While I may offer specific expertise relating to therapy and child development, parents are the experts when it comes to their own children, so I rely on collaboration with family members to provide the most effective treatment.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
