"My style of therapy involves the provision of a safe, nurturing, warm and professional environment in which to help people explore and gain insight into their behaviors and problems. Every person who enters my office is treated as a unique individual and I work together with that person to gently approach the most difficult or painful subjects and to gain mastery over them."

"I help people understand how their thoughts and feelings are connected and how knowledge of self can significantly change behavior and mood. You can begin to redefine how you view yourself in the world by building an interpersonal, here-and-now relationship. Together, we will explore your past history and your interpersonal dynamics to better understand why you may feel depressed, anxious, angry or lonely. Our relationship will serve as the backbone for personal growth and it will help you navigate changes in your life, and ameliorate your depression, anxiety or maladaptive relationships."

"It takes inner strength to acknowledge the need for help with life problems. In my work with people, I recognize their strengths as well as their struggles. I use approaches suited to specific needs in order to increase awareness and promote growth within a caring, supportive setting. My experience as a school psychologist has afforded me much opportunity to work effectively with young people, families, teachers, and school administrators."

"My goal is to help people feel and function better in love, work, play and inner peace. Life is often challenging and stressful. Sometimes we feel lost. Most of us engage in self-defeating beliefs, patterns and behaviors which leads to unhappiness and life dissatisfaction. The goal of therapy is to change these negative ways of feeling and being. When I have asked clients what has been most helpful in therapy, the most common response is " You helped me see things from a new perspective, which ultimately led to positive changes in how I think, feel, behave and relate to others"."

"Psychotherapy can be a powerful and liberating tool. The decision to enter into therapy for the first time needs to be approached with care and consideration by both the patient and the therapist. The therapeutic process can open up a world of opportunities to you. You may be depressed or overwhelmed with anxiety. You may have experienced trauma in the past and struggle to put words to the feelings you do have. Psychotherapy can help you get a handle on these feelings and empower you to bring meaningful and lasting change to your life."

"When we engage, I believe you will sense that I have been enjoying my work. If you are feeling lost, alone and confused, you may not want to share that with others yet therapy provides a safe haven. Working together on your goals can result in tremendous comfort and relief. It's risky to feel vulnerable but hopeful that you are working towards resolving what needs to be repaired in your most meaningful relationships. I'll be there to hear what concerns you, in your own words without judgment and join you in all celebrations along the way."

"If you have a desire for growth and discovery and can appreciate the value of process-oriented and relational therapy, then I may be the right therapist for you. I will engage you in a way that allows for energetic shifts, so that you have the ability to solve your own problems and remove the blocks to peace and happiness."

"Do you feel "stuck" or hopeless dealing with the same painful problems that don't seem to get better? If difficult emotions are becoming overwhelming and beginning to interfere with your life, there is hope. I work with adults, teens and couples experiencing anxiety, depression and struggle due to long-standing issues or perhaps a recent crisis. You may be dealing with a major loss, divorce or relationship/family conflict or other upsetting emotional issues. With skilled and compassionate therapy, it is possible to find a way out of the pain--towards greater peace and happiness."

"It looks like you have taken the first step towards exploring feelings of anxiety, frustration and/or sadness which may have been with you for some time. Those feelings have affected your relationships with everyone in your life. I work with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and have helped them grow and develop from confused to clear; from dejected to hopeful; from feeling weak to empowered. My philosophy of practice is cognitively behaviorally based but I use Mindfulness and psychodynamic methods, as well. It is an integrated and flexible approach."

"I have a doctoral degree in Clinical Social Work and have been in private practice for 22 years. Clients generally come for treatment when experiencing emotional dysregulation causing some level of depression and/or anxiety. As a therapist, I offer help by providing a safe, supportive and empathic relationship in which change and growth can take place. Some specialty areas I have worked with are: Eating Disorders: As part of the Adolescent Medicine team at NorthShore/LIJ, I worked with teens diagnosed with Anorexia and Bulimia providing individual, group and family therapy."

"Therapy is about people. Our "problems" relate to difficulties in living with others--and then, with ourselves. We approach these problems by connecting to another person. In therapy, you enter a relationship--a relationship that, from the first session, should feel relieving, clarifying, and helpful. The goal is for you to come to understand yourself more fully and build a pathway for a successful future."
