Have you felt confused, overwhelmed, or upset by where your life is heading? Do you feel unfulfilled, yet do not know what is missing? Are you struggling in your relationship(s), school, or at work? You can see something is just not quite right, but can't put your finger on what it is exactly or how to make it better. We can work together to explore your concerns, needs, and goals to foster a life with happiness, engagement, and meaning.

I obtained a PhD in Psychology, a Masters in both Counseling and Psychology. I am an LMHC as well as a CAP and I'm on most insurance panels. I can help you with Mental Health as well as Addiction issues. I provide a different approach with each individual respecting and recognizing that everyone has different needs. I welcome couples, individuals, those struggling with depression, bipolar disorder and addiction. Change can be hard, but its not harder than staying stuck somewhere you don't belong. I believe that no human has to struggle in silence.

If you have been reflecting on your life or current relationship, and words such as "stuck," "frustrated" and/ or "confused" describe how you feel, now might be the time to consider therapy. A common belief is that we "should" be able to figure things out on our own. However, human beings often grow to their fullest potential working with and connecting to a safe person (e.g. the right therapist!). I really appreciate you considering therapy!

In the broadest terms, my practice centers on the idea of helping you to establish or restore greater authenticity--a more authentic voice, space of desire and trajectory of drive/motivation. This can be addressed through more short-term approaches that focus primarily on the present, or a deeper approach that considers and works through past experiences as they inevitably impact the present in ways not always available to consciousness. By uncovering these occluded forces left over from the past and lingering in the present, you will be able to develop broader insight and live more fully with greater intention.

Are you looking for exceptional therapy? Are you finding it difficult to call? It is sometimes not easy to take the first step toward beginning therapy. For some it is about having thought they could do it themselves, for others they think it is a sign of weakness, and yet others sometimes worry about using therapy as a crutch. Then there are those who can hardly wait to begin, perhaps begin again, with a new and different therapist, eager to enter the journey of self discovery and self improvement. All this is normal. Either way, you will feel understood and cared for.

CUTTING EDGE THERAPY. It's not you, it's your nervous system!! Many people are unaware that when telling the worst events of your life, your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing respond as if it were happening in that moment. We will do it in a very different way and together. Symptoms such as anxiety/panic attacks, depression result when your Autonomic Nervous System has not completed its response. Prolonged periods of time in this highly aroused state causes our bodies start to break down and we see "syndromal states" such as migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, etc.

In private practice for 32 years, my passion is helping people break self-defeating patterns and be able to embrace the life each person desires. The treatment is psychoanalytic and spiritual in nature and requires a deep commitment by both the therapist and the patient. Therapy is designed to heal the past, remove the blocks, and work through resistance. This process requires the willingness to stay engaged in the process until treatment is complete.

All of us, over the course of our lives, have found ourselves faced with challenging life events - some small and others so much bigger than ourselves that we become overwhelmed and unable to face them alone. We may experience feelings of grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, marital strife, illness, or addiction to mention a few. However, what is most important is that we not face these alone, and remember there is help and relief. Each one of us has a sense of resiliency to meet our life challenges - even in our worst times. Finding that resiliency is the beginning to healing and living our best lives.
