2,500 years ago Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." He believed a good life requires an understanding of why we think, act, and feel as we do. Since relationship is part of psychotherapy, the personalities and philosophies of life of the client and therapist must be compatible. I am well-suited for clients who are curious about human behavior - their own as well as that of others. Before there were psychologists, the issues of life were addressed by philosophers. Thoroughly examining life includes considering ancient wisdom and spiritual reality as well as psychology (the science of mind and behavior).

My primary therapeutic focus is to help teenagers and adults to develop a stronger sense of self and to develop the coping skills they will need to address issues of anxiety, self esteem and self worth. I use a non-judgmental, trauma informed and holistic approach to help clients develop their ability to self soothe, including using body/movement and grounding techniques. I focus on both personal autonomy and understanding ourselves in relationships, with the goal of moving out of stuck feelings and thoughts to embody a more curious stance of your experiences and the world around you.

You've held it together for months, maybe even years. Your anxiety is higher than it used to be, and you don't feel quite like yourself anymore.
Worry Less. Live More. It starts with one conversation.
Perhaps your motivation has dipped, or you feel disconnected from others, from joy, from yourself. You are not alone.
I work with people who are feeling a mix of the blues, anxiety and disconnection - often characteristics of low grade depression. Are you ready to feel better? If so, my approach is short-term and practical.
Are you ready to have a brief chat?

My job is to facilitate the process of change with individuals and families. I am experienced in helping people with problems in personal relationships and at work. Many of my clients are feeling stuck or unsure about something of importance. They may be struggling with parenting, addiction, or feelings of anxiety, irritability, and deep sadness. Some of my clients have experienced something tragic that has left them unmoored and are wondering how to rebuild. Often, the people I work with are associated with colleges and universities. My 20+ years of experience in higher education is a resource in my work as a therapist.

Does your use of SOCIAL MEDIA feel like an ADDICTION? Do your moods vacillate wildly depending on your Twitter mentions or how many times somebody has swiped right on your profile? We fear the judgment of others, but we crave their approval and praise. These feelings can be overwhelming and make you feel like you are out of control. What if I told you that you didn’t need to suffer like this?

Our thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, relationships and experiences shape us emotionally, physically and energetically. By gently and compassionately exploring these, both healthy and undermining, new choices become possible. I offer principles from Behavioral Cognitive Therapy including guided meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, cognitive restructuring, progressive relaxation, and mindfulness. When reinforced with practice, these techniques help to increase wellness and reduce suffering and anxiety. You don't need to know the problem or the solution to begin. You only need to want something to change.

Hi, we have openings, and welcome adult and adolescent clients of all races, cultures, LGBTQ, etc. Are you struggling with work, relationships, or past trauma? We offer a safe, nonjudgemental, compassionate atmosphere. We use somatic and deeply relational modalities.

Sometimes it really makes sense to have a confidential setting to talk about overwhelming feelings or difficult circumstances. I graduated from Syracuse University with a masters degree in social work in 2003, so I have over 20 years experience working with many different people dealing with life's challenges. I worked in a day treatment program for 9 years and a mental health clinic for 2 years, before starting my private practice. Every day I bring all I have learned into each session, drawing on my knowledge and experience.
