Anxiety and mood disorders were my first areas of expertise. My fascination with relationships led me to study, from the lens of sex, the complicated and delicate dynamics that occur between and within people. This view point has given me a perspective on the interplay between sex, emotional difficulties, relationship patterns and attachment styles. Whether sex and relationship difficulties bring you to treatment or it's your anxiety and mood difficulties; we'll use my understanding of best clinical practices and your history to help you live a more satisfied life, inside and outside the bedroom.

I am an extensively trained licensed psychologist and life coach. I use an integrative approach in which psychodynamic, existential and buddhist principles are informed by neuroscience, psychoanalysis, developmental and cognitive theory. I am interested in who you are -- your feelings and thoughts about your past experiences, present concerns, and the changes you want to make in your life and relationships. I provide a comfortable and safe framework within which you can share your story, temper your anxiety and make meaningful changes in your life. I continue to work safely and remotely with my clients and welcome your call.

I believe that everyone is uniquely designed and no single approach in therapy can be used exclusively. Over the years of working eclectically with the individuals from all walks and being curious about finding omnimodus approach that would describe it all, I found the following sequence in treatment to be more reflective of the needs of most in therapy: Phase I: Psychoanalytic-exploring past character formation during the childhood, including obstacles, traumas through events or other people. "It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy."

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

I'm a trans nonbinary therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate OCD, anxiety, and sexual trauma (and often the intersection of all three). I help clients understand that anxiety is not actually an emotion, but a way of avoiding bigger, more unpleasant feelings bubbling beneath the surface. Much of my work consists of helping folks process their grief at the existential nightmare that is the world we live in. Using mind-body therapies like IFS and ERP, I teach clients how to get in touch with these Big Feelings without being swallowed by them.

If we think alike, we would agree that a good life is a life in which we are able to work, to love, and to play. However, in reality, many situations become barriers and prevent us from enjoying life. At times, we might even feel we can't breathe. As a devoted therapist, I will work together with you to remove these barriers -- whatever the cause might be: career stress, rocky relationships, identity confusion, past trauma... You need not face your problems alone. Over years, I have witnessed changes happening, wounds healed, trust rebuilt, and fear given way to courage.

I come to practice as clinical therapist through many life experiences which were, at times anxiety provoking, heart wrenching, and overwhelming. By reaching out for my own personal therapy I was I able to learn many wonderful tools that have helped me navigate all of my life struggles. As I therapist, I want to help you learn how to navigate life's challenges and to learn to live your best life. I commend you for taking the first step toward therapy, The best therapist, is someone you can relate to, feel comfortable with and whom you will trust.

While I have a commitment to those people who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression having to do with disruptive life changes. At the present time the Pandemic has forced the need to change, even so many of the habits that have worked for us. The sense of isolation has exponentially heightened fears and whatever loneliness existed before is exacerbated. This has changed my practice both physically and as it relates to style. Support is so necessary to guide the way to management of fears and management of major transitions. My background includes many years at the Out Patient Unit of the Veterans Hospital Post Traumatic Stress

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

I strive to create a space where you can fully explore and process your thoughts, feelings and experiences, without judgement.
