I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in the Berkshires and virtually in New York City. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with a range of emotional and relational/interpersonal issues. My orientation is primarily Psychodynamic and Relational. I am strongly influenced by Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, and my training in EMDR. I work collaboratively to help you make sense of what is going on- to identify the problem and why you are feeling the way you are feeling, and use this knowledge to consider how to shift things.

SHIFT HAPPENS. You cannot stop the changing tide . Follow your passion, change your career, rebuild self-esteem, strengthen relationships, control addiction, delete stress, find balance in your life. You need a therapist who has first hand experience and empathic approach to make you successful. There is no SINGLE method that works for all people. I focus on the individual needs and responses of my clients to ensure that they are free of cookie-cutter therapeutic approaches or psyhchobabble, where the individual always counts first. You owe it to yourself to experience the strength you can gain from the right guide.

Scared, anxious, depressed, frustrated, stuck...? Looking to deepen your relationships and resolve on-going conflicts? Experiencing painful loss, a difficult transition, or trauma? I help shed light on unconscious motives, patterns, and beliefs that are no longer serving you in order to allow healing and positive changes to occur. Just as importantly I focus on utilizing your strengths so they better support you in this process. I listen deeply and compassionately in a safe, relaxing setting. And always with absolute positive regard. I work with individuals, couples and families.

Men and women who appear to benefit the most from working with me are those who arrive via their own motivation. They are clear that something is not working for them and they are open to investigating what might move them forward. Having curiosity as well as a willingness to expand their "comfort zone" contributes to a successful outcome. It is my intention to assist a client in expanding their understanding of their situation, others and themselves. Being "mindful" is more than a slogan; learning to be with things as they are or make changes adds greatly to well-being.

Hello! I'm a spiritual and somatic counselor, and author of the forthcoming book "The Mind-Body Guide to the Twelve Steps." I offer a trauma-informed, heart/body-centered, and attachment-based approach to support you in releasing stress, developing awareness, and deepening relationship with yourself and others. My commitment is to provide you with a gentle and nurturing space that encourages exploration, discovery, and transformation. Sessions are collaborative, and incorporate mindfulness, guided imagery and dreamwork, and somatic practices to engage your body-mind's inherent capacities for healing, insight, and connection.

I have experience working as a therapist in community mental health settings as well as working as part of the Therapeutic Community Group Program at the Austen Riggs Center. I approach each situation by fostering a warm environment in which I welcome you to express whatever emotions or thoughts are on your mind. Through collaboration, I aim to help you gain a better understanding of your own mind and to work towards diminishing whatever symptoms you may be feeling and improve the quality of your life.

Providing care for people encountering problems with substance use, anxiety, OCD, depression, and sleep issues. Psychological science combined with care and compassion can be very helpful in finding ways to move forward with these difficult experiences. Acceptance-based behavioral therapies focus on building skills and developing new patterns of behavior that can deepen a sense of meaning and engagement with life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I take a developmental standpoint and work with my patients around where they have become stuck in their lives. My treatments are highly individualized based on what my patients wish to work on and what we negotiate together as treatment goals. I have experience working with a diverse range of people confronting issues such as major life transitions, experiences of adversity and trauma, and cultural adjustment.

When stress & anxiety keep you from feeling like yourself, it makes everything harder. I can help you change the ways you deal with stress, tension and struggle, and improve your relationships. Anxiety and stress can be related to trauma in your past, difficulty managing demands and day to day problems, or the challenge of big life changes. I use somatic psychotherapy, mind-body, and creative approaches to help my clients make profound change. You can have less tension, worry, self-doubt, and feelings of isolation and feel more energy, joy, connection and support.

We're only on Earth for a little while: too short a time to spend it indulging bad habits, ignoring our talents, suffering inadequate relationships. Personal Coaching has two main goals. First, it helps you to notice and release your fear, resentment, self-destructive sorrow -- the whole range of negative habits in thought, feeling and behavior. Second, it helps you to give your gifts to the world: your talents, your capacities, your joy. On every level, coaching enhances your relationships: with family, partner, co-workers and friends, with this amazing Earth, and with your own sense of yourself as fully alive.

When things aren't going well, we all need different things. Sometimes we need to vent, sometimes we need someone to tell us it'll all be okay, and, sometimes we just need to someone to help us figure out what to do next. When done right, therapy can be all of those things for us. My primary goal is to ensure everyone I work with feels like there is someone here to help them through life's many trials and tribulations by focusing on creating a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship. It's through this relationship that I am able to make interpretations and suggestions that can lead to the change that you are seeking.
