People thinks you have it together all of the time. Really, you are overwhelmed spending all your energy making it look so. No one would know you are highly stressed, both at work and at home. You take care of everyone else's needs before your own, and while its exhausting, you feel too guilty to put yourself first. You have always succeeded in school and in work because that was what was expected of you. However, you know you are not living your truth. You know it's because you never took the time to figure out what truly fulfills you. As you try to sleep your heart pounds while you criticize yourself for not being good enough.

I serve individual adults as a CERTIFIED JUNGIAN ANALYST sensitive to injustice and cruelty within one’s society, work setting, family and/or partnership, and especially within one’s own psyche. This covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. We would aim at your gaining greater clarity and self-acceptance and living authentically and more fully. We might explore dreams, fantasies and whatever else your soul expresses, applying courage, honesty, humility and imagination.

Are you feeling stuck? Many people seek therapy when they are lacking energy or direction in some aspect of their life. Sometimes sadness won't leave. Or anxiety grows. Often past hurt and trauma interferes with daily life. Or it is difficult to negotiate one of life's transitions: finding or changing work life; partnering/marrying; moving/settling; separating/divorcing: birth; aging; illness and pain, or death of a loved one. Whatever the reason for seeking help we decide on the goals, charting a clear path for the journey to emotional health and greater satisfaction in life.

As a creative arts therapist, I help people connect words, thoughts, and feelings to their life situations. I am committed to building therapeutic relationships that in turn help the Hudson Valley become a region of health and wellness. My approach offers tools to access relief, develop coping skills, and explore solutions to work through life's challenges.

We all have the fundamental need to grow into and express who we are meant to be. However, this natural process can be inhibited by our need to adapt to pressures of family and society, by trauma, or by seemingly unresolvable contradictions in our personality. The goal of therapy is to bring this latent process to life, and to make it more conscious. A good therapeutic relationship will help you to be more receptive to yourself and to notice and honor these inner workings.

We seek therapy when we find ourselves stuck. My role is to help you get unstuck so that you can live a happier and more rewarding life. Working collaboratively, we will identify and explore unrecognized patterns of relationship. Our basic experience of the world is largely determined by the nature of these patterns. I can help you change these patterns, and in this way to discover new possibilities for living.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 9 years, working with individuals and couples in a clinical setting, as well as private psychotherapy. I believe that every person can reach their potential, strive towards their goals, heal from their past and obtain happiness by learning how to be present in their lives; while learning how to be insightful about oneself and gain empowerment.

I have cultivated my own method of holistic healing, an alternative to traditional talk therapy, called Integrated Mind-Body-Spirit work. I weave together clear, effective, and actionable aspects of the most prevailing approaches to the littlest-known, and address the whole person.

*Accepting new couples & individual therapy clients. All sessions are virtual. OON.* Are you looking for a more embodied, connected, and fulfilling life? Maybe you tried traditional talk therapy before, but found it wasn’t enough? If you are seeking lasting, holistic personal growth and open to working on it, consider my integrated mind-body-spirit approach. I can help you develop your inner resources to navigate stressful periods; balance your nervous system; communicate clearly and effectively; tend to unprocessed grief; understand your inner conflicts, mood changes, unexpressed creativity, soul longings; and more.
