Emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges come in all shapes and sizes; my goal is to help you and your family develop the skills and tools to face those challenges head-on.
My practice focuses on helping kids, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Tourette Syndrome, panic attacks/ panic disorder, phobias, ADHD, school avoidance, behavioral challenges in the home make changes in their lives so that they can live the lives they want to live. I know how much anxiety can impact someone's life at school, at work, and in social relationships. I work with clients to have goal directed treatment to improve their lives in these areas. It is important to me that I use scientifically backed treatments which have been shown to help other people achieve their goals.

Se sta pensando di chiamarmi, è per almeno una di queste ragioni: ha dedicato senza successo considerevole energia e tempo a risolvere la sua ansia, le sue paure, le sue ossessioni, le sue perdite e il suo trauma, la sua tristezza, i suoi fallimenti nelle sue relazioni o nella sua produttività; é stanco di ripetere gli stessi errori e comportamenti e non é stato in grado di cambiare; é stato respinto, ha sperimentato di non essere amato, compreso, preso nella sua unicità; o non ha fatto tutto ciò che desidera per essere più coraggioso, creativo, per essere più come persona.

I am experienced with a broad range of issues, I offer individual, couples, family and group therapy.
I believe that a client that comes to session in good faith to genuinely seek treatment is most likely to achieve their therapeutic goals. Any client who takes that first step to therapy is showing great courage. Once in therapy, simply being themselves and being open to the process will lead to exploration, goal setting and positive change leading to a happier, healthier way of life.

My specialty is relationship challenges whether partner, family, work or friend related.
Wanting to be happy is often a way of saying “I want peace”. Life’s difficulties test us and sometimes we feel defeated but it doesn’t have to be that way. Often, we suffer needlessly because we treat the symptom rather than the cure, we entertain the story rather than the truth and we give full rein to our personality rather than to our heart and soul. If this resonates with you, I invite you to ask yourself, "Am I living as fully as I can?" or, "Am I feeling powerless, stuck and not enjoying life?" If so, I can guide and support you to look inside for deeper truths that will allow you to grow and to find peace in your life.

Attending therapy can be daunting and connecting with the right therapist can help soften any initial reservations. I offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space that will allow you to experience therapy in the most authentic way. Inevitably, by living, we face challenges that can inhibit how we manage our daily lives. These challenges, like stress related to family dynamics, work, romantic relationships, life transitions, and loss can disrupt the connection we have to our inner selves. My goal is to help you restore and realign the parts of you that may have been wounded along the way.

Life has become an endless string of chores. You've gotten good at smiling on the outside, but internally you're just going through the motions. The loneliness, exhaustion, and lack of motivation are eating at you. Despite the well-meant advice from friends and family members you still feel stuck, unable to live your life fully. You know you desperately need to find meaning and purpose, but you barely know how you got here, much less how to begin fixing it. Symptoms of depression are often related to traumatic experiences.

We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
