Sometimes life’s hard moments don’t pass as quickly as we wish. This can be especially felt in the context of relationships with those whom we care deeply for: the connection may begin to feel stale; communication breaks down; one person’s growth doesn’t always align with another and relational dynamics may change.

I am a warm caring psychotherapist with a direct approach with over 30 years of experience treating adults and adolescents. I empathize with how difficult it can be to speak with someone about very personal matters and I provide a caring and nurturing environment for patients. My specialties include eating problems, with an emphasis on binge eating, obesity, and anorexia. In addition depression and anxiety, grief counseling, women's issues, interpersonal relationships as well as transitions through divorce for individuals, parents and children.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

The men and women who work with me are struggling with the most important relationships in their lives. They are either hoping to rekindle their love in Couples Theapy or dissolve their partnership through a thoughtful, sensitive and cost effective method, Mediation. Because of my years of training in understanding couples and individuals, I firmly believe that every crisis is an opportunity for growth and growth brings new opportunities. Through working with me, people will learn that they have the power to make choices for themselves and change their lives.

Staying connected to, and honoring our authentic self allows one to better navigate challenges, transitions, and change. Bringing compassion and warmth, I incorporate my life experiences and deep professional expertise from varied domains to inform my work with individuals and connect meaningfully. Through active listening and collaboration, using a client-centered and strength-based approach, we can explore your path towards growth and transformative shift in a safe, unbiased environment.

Volatile couples are often passionate couples. "We love each other and have a good relationship, why we do end up in the same hurtful arguments?" The passion in your relationship is energizing but can also turn into fights accompanied by extreme anger. Often this results in one person withdrawing and both left feeling hurt and misunderstood. I help couples turn volatility into versatility. Volatility is explosive energy; versatility means having choices and tools to use at the right moment while keeping healthy passion alive. My couples are people who have strong relationships but need help breaking patterns that lead them down a rabbit hole.

I believe that the power for change resides in each individual and that therapy can promote and facilitate desired changes through the collaborative therapeutic relationship.

I have 23 years of experience and expertise treating depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse, divorce adjustment, parenting as well as couples therapy. I have post-doctoral training and teach new therapists at the post-doc level. In addition to psychotherapy.

Searching for and starting with a therapist for yourself or your child can be a daunting and overwhelming process. It doesn't have to be.

Together we will develop a plan for emotional growth in a supportive environment.

As a Narrative Life Coach, I want to help clients unlock the themes and patterns of their lives by asking probing questions and helping them work towards their next chapters. I offer weekly optional writing exercises and readings to support this journey. Narrative Coaching works well with anyone going through a painful loss or rejection, such as a death, break-up or divorce, as well as anyone who desires change but feels stuck or struggling. I'd like to help clients to realize their potentials by exploring possibilities, expanding their thinking and re-writing their narrative.

People who come to me for therapy find a pragmatic clinician who responds actively and efficiently to urgent problems and symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and bereavement. I quickly identify and address how present day stressors are affecting my patients' relationships at work and at home. My admiration for people’s strength and resilience guides my work. I believe a good therapist should be a loyal ally, an advocate for a person’s best self, and a compassionate believer in human dignity and capacity for change. My style is warm. My personality is direct.

Are you in the midst of a life transition-divorce, illness or loss? Are you a parent who wants to protect your child from the fallout of divorce? Do you have a child with special needs that is a challenge to parent? Are you looking to break out of a longstanding pattern of behavior that doesn't serve you well? Are you in a relationship that is painful and you don't know if it can be healed? Are you struggling with issues of infertility or thinking about adoption? Facing these issues and challenges can be daunting. I work with individuals to help them connect to their own capacity for transformation and growth. With the help of therapy people can develop tools and discover resilience that they can use now and in the future to overcome challenges that stand in the way of satisfaction, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.
