I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic personality disorder). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

OUT of NETWORK with insurance. Everyone has a story and I want to hear yours.

I'm a seasoned clinician, with advanced expertise in family and couples therapy. I also have a sub-specialty: treatment of the professional writer, artist and performing artist. But I do not limit the scope of my practice to specialties; my work extends through life's full spectrum of quandaries and quagmires. Patients say the keys to our success are: safety, authenticity, flexibility, respect, wisdom, kindness, humor, and clarity. We work together, to understand the feelings that can sometimes ambush, block or trigger a person, derailing relationships and careers. We work without fast-forwarding past the hard parts - but without losing precious time.

I have been a pre-marital and marriage counselor/educator for thirty years. I love my work because I strongly believe in marriage as a vital social institution and as a dynamic opportunity for personal growth. In fact, I believe conflict can help build your relationship, depending, of course on how it is managed.
I start with this premise: emotional connection is the most important element of a good marriage. When that fails, the marriage will suffer.

Living with anxiety sucks! Overthinking, trouble sleeping, worrying nonstop, feeling like your heart is beating out of your chest. There always seems to be something to worry about. You wish you had control of it, but it feels so unmanageable. It effects evert facet of your life at work, home, school and social life. You've tried everything and nothing has worked, and wonder if it will ever go away. All you want is peace and stability, able to live your life like it used to be before problematic anxiety. Finally in control of it!

When life presents us with challenges - illness, transitions, trauma - it can be difficult to process our suffering and overwhelming emotions. If you have been feeling discouraged, depressed, or anxious, you are not alone. My aim as a therapist is to create a space in which we navigate through these challenges together to facilitate healing and growth. I am attuned to the fact that all people are unique and invite clients of all races, nationalities, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities and body sizes.

In the current society we live in, buzzwords from the psychology field are being used widely. This has allowed for a drastic change in how therapy is perceived. From that, something else surfaced: the concept of modern loneliness, an issue that seems to be all around us like an invisible, yet quantifiable, statistic. We constantly hear about self-care, self-worth, self-love and boundaries as remedies for all challenges we face. The need for connection with the self is essential to a healthy life but to what extent have we decided the focus on the self will lead us to relatedness and responsibility for others?

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

As a family systems thinker, I believe that each individual, couple, and family belong to many different demographics, impacting our responses, outlooks, and narratives in understanding that there is an understanding that no one client is the same. Staying curious, sitting in the learner's seat in moments, leading with empathy, and facing different realities create an opportunity for a healthy, understanding, and safe therapeutic relationship. My goal as your therapist is to create this type of environment in a collaborative effort to find the right fit.

My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, and adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
