Having a special interest in eating disorder treatment and related conditions my clients often have difficulty with issues of mood (especially anxiety and depression), lack of self-identity, fears of judgement and being alone, a craving for connection, a sense of not being understood, concerns about the future, and at times even self-hatred. The mental state of these types of conditions lead to an overwhelming, all-consuming thought process that is usually obsessional and demeaning. The goal of any patient is to learn how to rid fears, quiet intrusive thoughts and find a way to a more fulfilling life with some sense of inner peace.

The approaches I utilize with children include play therapy, creative arts therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), neurofeedback, stress management through mindfulness, and existential-humanistic therapy.
Life poses many challenges. We are burdened by our circumstances, and carry the past with us into our present. All the aspects of our lives together can leave us bewildered, anxious, angry, sad, or afraid. This colors our thinking, decisions and the situations we create. And it leads us to wonder: how can things be better?

I'm a strong advocate for emotional well-being. Experiencing emotions is as natural as feeling hunger, and facing emotional challenges, as common as experiencing appetite. Engaging in therapy to process emotions is essential, much like regular doctor visits, whether for a check-up, addressing initial symptoms, or seeking help when issues have already affected life functioning. I'm the author of How Deep Is the Wound?, winner of the 2025 Foreword Indies in Self-Help and of Traumatization and Its Aftermath, winner of 2023 Best Books Award and 2024 American Legacy Book Awards in Psychology/Mental Health

I also offer LENS Neurofeedback.
Healing often begins when you realize the ways you’ve been relating to yourself or your partner are no longer working. I work with couples and individuals navigating emotional disconnection, recurring relational patterns, and trust ruptures. Many clients come in feeling stuck in cycles that repeat despite their best efforts—distance, misunderstandings, shutdowns, or conflict that seems to resurface in the same ways. At times, this shows up as feeling emotionally alone in relationships, unsure how to rebuild closeness, or struggling to trust again after significant ruptures.

Living with depression is like living with thick fog that rolls into your life and affects everything meaningful in its path. It changes everything about you … how you think, feel and function in daily activities. It may have even started interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and enjoy life. The people close to you probably have noticed, but they don’t know how to help you, and you don’t know how to help yourself. Trying to get through the day is overwhelming and seems like an impossible task. Seeking help from a therapist can seem scary because you want to make sure you choose someone who you truly connect with.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

Neurofeedback Therapists
How does neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback, meaning it provides real-time information about one’s physiological functions—in this case, brain activity. As they receive this feedback, clients are guided by a computer program, typically via visual or auditory cues, which aims to modify the brain patterns associated with their negative symptoms. Over time, proponents argue, clients learn how to better regulate their own brain function and improve the symptoms that cause problems in day-to-day life.
How effective is neurofeedback?
Some research has found that neurofeedback can help treat conditions like ADHD, and anecdotal evidence suggests that many people who undergo neurofeedback find it beneficial. However, some experts have expressed skepticism, arguing that the evidence in favor of neurofeedback is thin or may be due to the placebo effect. While the procedure is generally seen as safe and has few side effects, it is not typically considered a first-line therapy and is instead often recommended as an adjunct treatment.
What are the limitations of neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is generally considered safe and most patients report manageable side effects, or none at all. However, the research on neurofeedback remains inconclusive, and some experts are skeptical that it’s as effective as its proponents claim. It can also be costly and may not be covered by insurance; thus, it’s important to confirm cost and insurance coverage before initiating a neurofeedback program.
How long does neurofeedback last?
A typical neurofeedback session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. There is no set number of sessions needed for a course of neurofeedback. Before initiating a neurofeedback regimen, clients are advised to discuss the treatment timeline with their provider, as well as when they might expect to see results.
