I often utilize Talk Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy derived from a strength-based perspective.
My ideal client faces anxiety, stress, or life transitions, seeking clarity and confidence. They may struggle with self-doubt, relationships, or finding purpose. They need emotional support, practical tools for coping, and a safe space to explore challenges. Whether healing from the past or developing new skills, their goal is to move forward with a sense of balance, peace, and empowerment. I also provide clinical supervision for social work interns, helping them grow professionally and confidently toward licensure.

Virtual counseling keeps everyone safe. Insurances accepted. Hablo Espanol, some Yiddish.

I specialize in narcissistic abuse and trauma. This includes narcissistic abuse from parents, partners, family members, in the workplace and in high conflict divorce. Whether from someone who is borderline, narcissistic, emotionally immature or self-absorbed, the impact of trauma has a profound effect. I will help you heal the confusion, self-doubt and pain these relationships cause. I believe unhealed trauma is at the root of most of our pain and suffering. Unhealed trauma is stored in the body and it will stay there unless we actively work to release it.

You’re the one everyone turns to: at work, at home, in a crisis. From the outside, it looks like you have it together. Inside, you’re exhausted. You deeply crave a break from it all but every time you slow down you feel more anxious, not less. You lie awake running through tomorrow’s to-do list and yesterday's mistakes. You feel guilty more often than not for no apparent reason. You say yes when you want to say no, then beat yourself up for feeling resentful. To make it worse, now your relationship is suffering and you don't know how to right the course. You wonder if this is all there is to life?

Okay, let me guess — life feels like a lot right now. You’re overwhelmed, drained, and stuck in patterns that just aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re questioning your relationships, struggling at work, or wondering why you feel so disconnected. That glass of whiskey, wine, or weed isn’t helping like it used to. With nearly 20 years of experience, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process difficult emotions, release what’s weighing you down, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll create a path toward feeling more grounded and at peace.

A life of greater freedom and joy is within reach. Using IFS (parts work) and EMDR, I provide a gentle, nurturing space where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and you are met with compassion as we work together to calm your nervous system, shift patterns and create lasting change. Together we can rediscover your own true north.

When life feels overwhelming and your nervous system feels constantly “on,” therapy can be a place to finally exhale. You might be here because you’re feeling emotionally stretched thin, worn down, or tired of carrying everything on your own. Maybe your mind feels busy, your body feels tense, or you’ve been pushing through for so long that slowing down feels unfamiliar. Often, what people want most isn’t immediate answers - it's to feel understood and to breathe again.
