As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1997 and in private practice since 2012, I offer individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults and also provide couples and family therapy. I offer traditional therapy as well as alternative holistic/somatic treatments such as body psychotherapy, EMDR and sandtray therapy. My work is deeply informed by a holistic mind/body/spirit approach to healing and well-being.

Nothing in life is permanent; dealing with change and loss is inevitable. I believe that how we cope with these life transitions often defines who we are and who we will become. Working with people dealing with grief and loss, as well as with people in the arts confronting creative challenges, has been the focus of my practice for over 30 years. I've also worked extensively with young people who are gifted but considered "quirky" or socially awkward, with the goal of helping them realize the value of what they have to offer others.

Life gets tough sometimes, you might be having a difficult time in your relationships. You are struggling with communication, trust, intimacy, and you might be feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner or loved ones. It's important for you to feel heard in your healing journey. Your goals to improve your relationships, increase emotional intimacy, and create harmony and balance in your life are valid. I help my clients deepen their understanding of themselves and their loved ones, cultivate compassion and empathy, and create meaningful connections.

My orientation to psychotherapy is to approach every session as a creative undertaking, whether it is with an individual or a group, a couple or a family, a child, an adolescent, or an adult. This is true for every stage of the treatment process, beginning with engagement and problem clarification, with developing a working relationship based on trust, and moving constructively forward in relation to established objectives. The process of each session involves engaging purposefully to facilitate problem resolution, newness, and growth. When appropriate the course of treatment can be as brief as three sessions.

It can happen in any relationship. The day-to-day grind of work, school, family and other responsibilities can cause a loss of connection. What were once minor disagreements can become a source of ever-escalating conflict. Many couples find it difficult to break the cycle and get "unstuck." I can help you improve communication, regain physical intimacy, recover from and affair, understand how past experiences affect present difficulties, manage parenting / step-family challenges, build trust, prevent a divorce and get a good start with premarital counseling.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, nurturing and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients can openly express their emotional needs and find solutions to the challenges life brings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years experience specializing in preteens, adolescents, young adults and families. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, low self esteem, bullying, relationship and peer issues, academic issues, loss and divorce I believe the most success in therapy comes from focusing on the individual's needs and building on their strengths.

Are you a mom trying to manage the everyday chaos of family life? Are you also dealing with the unique challenges of food allergies within your family? You want to be the parent you know yourself to be, yet you keep letting yourself down. Juggling kids, work, and life can leave you feeling drained. You just want some help to find that sweet spot where you can stop yelling and rediscover the joy of family life. For moms dealing with the ups and downs of food allergies, it can feel so overwhelming and lonely. The constant worry, label-checking, and meal planning is exhausting. Keeping your child safe is a full time job.

I'm fortunate to be working with very bright, successful people who may be having difficulties in family or work relationships, struggling with difficult transitions, or may be experiencing anxiety, depression or self-doubt. My therapeutic approach is to explore with you the underlying causes of your concerns and then to create new ways of responding to problems so that they don't resurface.

I am passionate about working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and adolescents and their families. I strongly believe that a safe, collaborative and caring therapeutic relationship is essential to effective therapy and can provide a foundation for healing and growth. Drawing from relational, cognitive-behavioral, insight-oriented and family systems models, my approach is always tailored to individual client needs.

Ever since you experienced the death of your loved one, your life has been turned upside down. The death of a spouse/partner, family member, or friend is life-altering. You’ve had an endless range of thoughts and emotions. “What am I going to do? I’m terrified. My life feels pointless now. I’m grateful for the life we had, but I feel like I died with them.” You can still feel their presence because reminders of your loved one are everywhere. That profound loss has left you disoriented and isolated. You don’t feel connected to anything anymore. You’ve been in a fog and have started to wonder, “When will this be over?”

Are you a woman who grew up in a challenging or even unsafe family environment? Do you struggle with self-judgement, self-doubt, or self-sabotage? Do you find yourself confused in personal/professional relationships? If so, you may believe your difficulties are your own fault, and that if only you could be better or stronger, things would be easier. In truth, you may be dealing with unhealed trauma. Unsteady attachment to one or both parents can be the unrecognized source of a lot of adult suffering, Understanding its impact and learning to care for yourself instead of judging yourself is the path to freedom.

As a psychologist I work collaboratively with my clients to address their concerns (both in-person and via teleheath). I have extensive experience working from an interpersonal perspective with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, trauma, loss and adjustment to life changes (e.g. illness, divorce). I believe it is important to explore how a client's family background, culture and social environment play a role in the challenges my clients are experiencing. I view people as resilient and help clients to use their strengths and resources to make positive changes in their lives.

I can, I'm capable, I have the capacity. My goal is to help you recognize these truths and use your strengths to improve your ability to cope with the difficulties you are going through. I view therapy as a collaborative process. Through our relationship, I will learn about your strengths and challenges and help bring you an awareness of both. We will also work on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression or other roadblocks that are hurting your relationships or preventing you from achieving the things you aspire to. I'm interested in helping you challenge your negative assumptions and/or limitations about yourself.
