Welcome! I'm Dr. Flax and have been in practice for over 20 years, helping people
make meaningful change. I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—especially when past experiences continue to impact our present lives. Together, we’ll work to understand the root of your distress and help you move toward healing and growth. With a focus on how trauma can shape our inner world and relationships, I help clients gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths.
I provide compassionate, individualized care using evidence-based approaches like DBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed therapy. I help clients gain insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting change in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.
Seeking support takes courage, and you're not alone in this. I offer a safe space to explore your experiences and begin healing. By fostering awareness and breaking cycles of maladaptive patterns, I aim to support you in building resilience, improving relationships, and enhancing emotional well-being. I invite you to reach out when you're ready.
