Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

With over 23 years of experience, I work compassionately with individuals to help alleviate the painful symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss. Life transitions and events including relationship issues, college, marriage, childbirth, divorce, death of a loved one, chronic illness, and retirement present new challenges and often touch upon unresolved past issues as well. Working collaboratively with clients through insight oriented psychotherapy, I can help to enhance one's ability to make desired life changes, and to provide a greater sense of well being overall.

Life can be difficult, but I believe that with the aid of therapy people can obtain a deeper understanding of themselves, and find ways to overcome their obstacles. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have experience with treating mood and personality disorders, anxiety, behavioral problems, relationship/marital conflicts, and parental/family issues. I believe every person is unique, therefore I utilize a variety of treatment approaches, including- Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Family Systems.

The more you understand yourself and your patterns of behavior the better you can make positive change. Do you have marital issues that you are struggling with and need an honest objective opinion? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and can’t seem to get out of the cycle? Many times it is another set of ears that is needed to help bring objectivity and clarity to an issue of life's crossroads. I also enjoy helping people understand why they keep repeating negative patterns and behaviors. Therapy can be very positive and inspire you to make changes.

Listening to what you say, and to what you don't say is very important to me. I am often told that talking to me was the very first time that a client had their feelings accepted. Helping others honor the unique perspective with which they see the world is the best way to enable a person to trust their feelings, to value their experiences, and to lead a richer life. I do believe that leopards can change their spots!
I consult with psychotherapy and life-coaching clients in my office and also by phone across the country.

You spend the majority of your days simply going through the motions in your life; feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unfulfilled at work, at home, or in your relationships. You see how much time has passed and wish that you could have a life filled with more joy, fulfillment, security & abundance. You don’t know where to start. To the outside world, your life might appear to be okay, but for you, something just doesn’t feel right. You push yourself to do better, be better, but inside, you battle with a little voice in your head that is telling you it's not enough. At times, you feel like you’re barely holding it all together.

You are overwhelmed right now in life. Either you have a congenital/chronic illness, high pressure job, difficult relationships, or you have lost someone in your life. Sleep is not coming easily at night, you are constantly worried about what you say, what will happen going forward, your current relationships are not how you want them to be, and you have a nagging feeling the other shoe is going to drop when you think about the impact on your health now or in the future. Life is feeling like a hamster wheel right now, you have to keep the wheel going, and cannot get off it without feeling like everything will crash down on you.
