Good therapy focuses on helping people overcome obstacles to living a productive and fulfilling life -- whether in relationships, work, or creative self-expression. As a psychotherapist in practice for 25+ years, my aim is to create an environment where patients can learn about themselves, grow, and, most important, change. My work has been guided by my social work background and psychoanalytic training, and has been deeply influenced by my connection to dance and the arts. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with anxiety, depression, personality problems, bereavement, life-threatening illnesses, and family/relationship issues.

Life comes with countless peaks and valleys, ups and downs. Having the space to ventilate your feelings is important to better understand your emotions and those around you. Therapy can help you confront challenges - whether it is frequent anxiety at work, low self esteem, or relationship set-backs - and master the skills and attain the self-awareness to succeed. We can work together to help you achieve your individual goals.

Are you living with depression, anxiety or worry? Do you wonder why you have been engaging in sabotaging behaviors? Maybe you have been having difficulty coping with the new demands of "Social Distancing" or other changes and would like help adapting to these challenges. Maybe you live with an older adult who is experiencing cognitive decline and you're not sure what to do. The good news is that all of these challenges can be helped with therapy. Whether you want to feel better quickly or spend more time exploring long held patterns there is a therapy that is right for you.

The initial phone call or email to a therapist can sometimes feel like a daunting first step, and I aim to greet you with warmth and compassion. I view therapy as a journey of self discovery and a safe place to explore the relationship you have with yourself and others. I look forward to walking you through the process of getting started and finding a treatment that works best for you. Some of my specialties include the treatment of binge-eating, bulimia, anorexia and other food and weight-related problems, as well as generalized anxiety and depression, difficulty with life transitions, low self esteem and general life stressors.

You are the expert in you, and I am the expert in helping you reach your goals. Let's collaborate.

You're feeling stuck. The job is grinding you down and maybe you're in a relationship that feels like the wheels are spinning. This is all too familiar and you're not sure how to get out of it. I know you've got potential, but there are these things, the emptiness and other tough feelings that you don't know how to deal with. It's been a long time since you've gotten the help you deserve. You can make the connections you want. You can find the career that serves you. You can find the partner that sparks your fire.

I'd be honored to work together, to earn your trust to use insight-oriented psychotherapy and other effective techniques to help you restore hope and find relief. I pledge you'll have the chance to be listened to and understood in a profound way, maybe for the first time. In a safe and collaborative setting, we'll find solutions to specific situational difficulties or lifelong, entrenched problems. We'll begin lifting emotional burdens that, on your own, you might never have thought possible. And, find the delight in an "aha!" moment that leads to substantive change for the better.

With every moment, every breath there is potential to discover something new and heal something old. It is my deep commitment to experience the newness of each moment, and to guide others in opening to the unknown. Learn to identify and detach from old thought patterns and belief systems. Begin to release emotional pain using your wisdom, your body and your connection to divine energy. Through psychotherapy, meditation, movement and more, you can journey through your past and into your presence to discover the place where your expression in this world most authentically and effectively represents the whole of you.

I have found that the most efficient avenue to life progress can be the connection between the psychotherapist and the client. Such connection promotes an evolving internal connection with one's most true passions,and offers the company of another in facing fears. I would help you to deal with conflicts that block your motivation and passion and help you open to new ways of engaging with your inner resources, and with the significant people in your life. In order to this I address any blocks & resistances that interfere with deep and authentic feeling contact.

My goal as a therapist is to create an open, warm environment where you feel safe and able to explore your authentic self. Whether you are coming to therapy to treat a specific diagnosis, seek support in navigating a life transition, learn to cope with a chronic illness or find more meaning in your life, I will support you in your journey. Utilizing the various modalities in which I have been trained, I will create an integrated and individualized treatment approach to help you become more aware of the patterns in your life and learn the skills to help you meet your goals.
