FORENSIC SERVICES: I provide evaluations, record review, & expert testimony for civil and criminal proceedings, including employment discrimination, ADA accommodation, personal injury, guardianship, waiver, competency, & sentencing. CLINICAL SERVICES: I offer psychotherapy and evaluation. My therapy clients work with me on a variety of issues, including anxiety & OCD, loss, relationships, career challenges, mood isorders, and ADD. My treatment approaches include psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, and social skills training.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

I believe you are your best resource on what works for you. Sometimes, though, we all need a little support and encouragement to make the necessary changes that will restore balance in our lives and calm the inner turbulence. YOU are capable of creating change in your life. My role is one of encouragement and support for making that change. Together we will find ways to cope better in stressful situations and to facilitate personal growth by exploring new ways to interact with your world and the people in it.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step on this adventure. I know finding the right therapist can be hard and a grueling process. For many clients this is the first time they have asked for help. I am passionate about creating a space for clients that is safe, freeing & nonjudgmental. I hope to do this through my multicultural background, interest in the client's perspective and the therapeutic relationship built. I operate from a systems & contextual framework where I believe clients are stuck, not sick. I work with clients to create goals and plans that are collaborative and empowering.

I specialize in mental health issues unique to women, with a particular focus on maternal health. I treat women struggling with infertility, anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy and postpartum as well as perinatal loss and stillbirth. All of these issues can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, lonely and isolated, sometimes even if you already have a great support system in place. I also work with adult men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating and body shape related concerns as well as individuals coping with medical diagnoses.

We all have points in our lives when outside support helps us move through difficult times, grief, stuckness, and transitions. I am committed to your healing and help you understand your family history and relationships better. Together we recognize and connect with your core self and strengths to support the life you really want to live. I am a white, cis-gender queer therapist. I believe our identities and social locations matter in the therapy relationship (race, class, ability, culture, etc.) and in your healing. I believe we all need to heal from white supremacy and support this in our work.

I believe we all have an innate wisdom and strength to grow from life's challenges and heal from painful experiences. The key lies in learning from our experiences, both past and present, and letting that acquired knowledge guide our futures. Therapy is your journey. It's my honor and privilege, as your therapist, to walk alongside you and help you process your story- creating room for insight, forgiveness, healing, and growth. I specialize in helping people build healthy relationships, overcome trauma, live well with chronic illnesses, and move through life transitions.

For more than 35 years I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

I see myself as a life consultant and partner in change. Clients who work with me are tired of feeling stuck in behaviors or emotional ruts that don't afford them freedom to live well. Trying new things, taking risks and experimenting with new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving are all part of the therapy. The client who sees me is ready, willing and, even if a bit scared, ready to find a centered self. I work both through talk and experiential, intersectional models. I am proficient in helping folks with OCD, anxiety, body image issues and most life transitions. Life is hard and support and challenge can make it easier.

You're going through a relationship crisis, feeling confused about how to get on the same page, or frustrated with the state of your connection.

We offer expert online therapy for couples in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Worldwide.

I provide a space dedicated to encouraging the wellness of individuals. Specifically specializing in marginalized groups.

Despite your best intentions and efforts, do you feel stuck in your personal life, intimate relationships, family relationships or workplace? You may be faced with challenges that are deeply rooted in your early life experiences, your primary attachments, in how you view the world, or due to misunderstanding between you and significant others. Challenges can arise during stressful life transitions, such as divorce or death of loved ones. But they can also arise from positive life experiences, such as marriage or the birth of a child. Left untreated, these challenges can grow into chronic problems that can corrode your sense of self and your relationships.

What do you do weekly to take care of yourself? Engaging in therapy is a powerful way of caring for yourself. Therapy can be life changing, but many clients say it is hardest to make that first step. I offer a safe and confidential environment and a warm regard to help you ease into what will be a transformative journey. I will listen to you and help you understand how to get from where you are now to where you most want to be. Let's work together to promote your growth, increase your self-understanding, and reduce your distress.

You are pregnant again, but the excitement isn’t there. You feel anxiety before your OB appointments and try to make sure you are prepped enough to ask all the questions you need to. More stress keeps coming up. The thought of announcing your pregnancy and each new pregnancy symptom brings anxiety. You can’t help but wonder what will happen if you lose this baby too. No one seems to understand. It hurts to hear your family and friends encouraging you to forget about your loss and move on. You want the best for this baby, but you keep thinking about the things you did or didn’t do during your last pregnancy. You wonder if you will b

People come to me for therapy because: "I am miserable every morning and need a good reason to just get up." "I spend more time online than I do with actual people." " I wish I had more quality relationships. "The sex was not consensual...and no one believes me." "I can't believe everyone can have a baby but me." "I know my eating patterns need to be changed." Drawing on my 35+ years of practice with individuals, couples, and families, I can help you more quickly develop insights into established patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce these problems.
