Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

I have been treating families, couples, individuals and children for over 20 years. I enjoy working with families in transition, including divorce and blended families. I have experience in treating people with depression and anxiety as well.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience in both individual and family therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings including outpatient and residential facilities. I come from a client-centered, strengths-based approach. I understand that each individual and family have unique needs and therefore utilize what I learn about each client to determine the techniques that would prove most effective in creating the desired outcome.

Are you missing appreciation? Does he stonewall? Does she not stop criticizing? Anxious and having trust issues? Do you feel a lack of sexual desire? Fighting over sexual frequency? I can help you stop the negative cycle. Feel love again. Feel intimate again. Trained specifically as a marriage and family therapist, I am a highly trained and experienced couples therapist. I am easy to talk to and skilled at creating tools to foster healthy connections between couples and families. Together, we repair your relationship by introducing new methods of communication to increase empathy and flexibility.

Shame and guilt often get confused. Guilt is the feeling that “You DID something wrong.” Shame essentially says, “YOU are wrong.” Shame is the voice that tells you are “Wrong”, “Not good enough” or “Inadequate.” All. The. Time. One of the reasons people don't go to therapy is because of shame. And, as painful it is to feel this way it often feels harder to work through it. This is where I can help.

Motherhood is CHALLENGING! I know that the COVID-19 pandemic and the social, financial, and logistical ramifications are all adding new stressors beyond what we would expect in the perinatal period. Now more than ever support for expectant and postpartum families is critical. We are here for you, offering telehealth, working with insurances to ensure coverage. Perhaps you have braved mental health issues for a long time, and now pregnancy, your conception journey, postpartum & world events are sending your anxiety or depression into a tailspin-it's just too much! You are not alone. Let's talk!

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I mainly work with those experiencing anxiety, worry, and overwhelming stress, depression or mood instability, relationship issues and history of trauma. You may be experiencing an acute time of trouble, or a long-standing problem. Either way, we will identify what is at the root of your struggle, while expanding your skills and ability to cope along the way.

Choosing a therapist is very personal decision. It can be about basics such as location and insurances accepted. But it also is about having a supportive therapist that is committed to help you through whatever challenges you face. It can be difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy. I do my best to make it a supportive and comfortable place that is nonjudgmental.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders and relationship difficulties. I work with older teens, young adults and adults.

I have been in private practice for 30 years treating a wide range of personal and emotional issues for professionals, artists, creative individuals, young adult women, mothers, career women, men in relationships, teenagers in stressful family relationships, parents wanting to improve parent-child relationships of all ages, and couples. I am a Certified Group therapist and have an ongoing Women's Group in the evening.

I utilize a collaborative approach to help my clients work toward identified goals. You are the expert on your own life, and in turn are the most important tool in your own healing process. If you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief or if you want to work through your PTSD, please reach out and schedule a session with me. I utilize several treatment modalities, including CBT, Narrative Therapy, and I take a strengths-based approach to treatment.

My specialty practice includes adolescents, young adults and adults whose lives have been significanlty impacted due to mental health issues. Collaborative work includes helping one tackle issues related to loss and decreased social, educational, academic, vocational, community and familial functioning. In my practice I help my clients treat the symptoms that are causing the most distress so they can begin to re-engage in living and increase a more hopeful and optimistc outlook. When appropriate, psychoeducation to families can be provided on how their loved one's recovery may be best supported .

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma that often accompanies major life transitions (launching to adulthood, birth of a baby, career shifts, loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship/divorce, health crisis). Life transitions impact our identity, our relationships and our sense of Self, often in ways we don’t expect. If a life event feels overwhelming or is keeping you stuck in patterns of thinking/behaving that no longer serve you, let's talk. Complimentary 15 min. phone call to determine if we're a good fit.

*I am not accepting new clients at this time.* I have been privileged to work with a wide variety of clients and know that everyone feels "stuck" at some point in time. Men, women, and kids are all managing the stress of work, school, family, and intimate relationships. I have demonstrated success helping people manage stress, and I know that everyone in your personal and professional life benefits when you feel more capable of dealing with life's emotional challenges. I help you get "unstuck" and move past your sadness, your fears, your anger, and your frustrations.

I rely on 37 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups. I have a strong background in treating adolescents, LGBT issues, trauma, women in transition, couples, caretaker self care, depression and anxiety. I have experience in substance abuse prevention and treatment of those struggling with recovery. I enjoy working with motivated clients invested in change and growth. I also find the challenge of working with those brave souls taking on psychotherapy for the first time, rewarding.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed.
