I specialize in anxiety, depression and woman 's issues. I believe in client centered work and meeting individuals where they're at. One method or therapeutic style does not work for everyone, and I believe in being present and non – judgmental. These are core principles in building a healthy therapeutic alliance. I have held many hats and played many roles in the field and have worked with a wide range of individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I help individuals gain insight and confidence that they can navigate through the world on their own speed and time, helping them to appreciate their process and be proud of whom they are.

Taking the first steps to start the therapeutic process can be anxiety provoking. As a clinician, I strive to establish an environment in which clients feel comfortable, safe, and free of judgment. I believe that everyone has the strength and resilience to become their best self. In an effort to do so, I aim to help clients recognize and focus on their strengths, recognize nonadaptive patterns, and help guide them to deeper levels of awareness. Therapy is a collaborative process and I am dedicated to working together with clients to set up and meet their goals. I am also dedicated to meeting each unique client where they are at.

I work with men, women , and couples with a variety of concerns including anxiety, dating and relationship struggles, family issues, depression and postpartum depression. I have been practicing for over 15 years. In addition to private practice, I have worked as a therapist in corporate employee assistance programs with professionals working in finance, media, legal and many other fields. I practice psychotherapy and interpersonal psychoanalysis. I have an interactive style and work with people in both short and long term therapy to relieve symptoms and understand what is needed to move toward lasting change.

My ideal client is a woman , 18-55, dealing with a life transition (e.g., college, marriage, motherhood, new career, returning to work, widowhood, etc.) or relationship issue (e.g., constant arguing, separation, divorce/break-up, etc.). She is experiencing distressing symptoms of anxiety, loneliness or sadness - she wants to feel more like herself and return to her normal functioning. Sometimes her emotional struggles make sense and are tied to a life event, but sometimes she has no idea why she feels this way, like it just came on out of the blue.

I have experience working with college students/young adults coping with professional or life transitions, first-generation Americans, African-American or Caribbean-American men and women , adult/geriatric individuals with acute and/or chronic medical illnesses.

'Rewrite your past and your coping strategies will flourish'. No matter how strange or painful our life or relationships are, we can understand them to minimize their power to damage us today and tomorrow. We should not deny tragedy when it visits us. And yet, we can re-conceive of most situations to make them more manageable. This is the most gratifying work we can do as people. I am a thoroughly experienced diagnostician who has trained in all popular theories of human development, with an especially strong background in women 's issues. I have treated patients from highly diverse backgrounds.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and depleted from being pulled in many directions. You want to say no but find yourself saying yes instead, fearing that family and friends will get angry or be disappointed if you say no. You worry it may jeopardize your relationships if you do. Each time you think about setting a boundary, you feel anxious, or guilty, and sometimes even selfish for considering it. You want to live your own life. However, prioritizing yourself and honoring your own needs seems almost impossible. At times, you feel stuck, unable to know what you want, or focus on your life goals and dreams because you have little energy

The quality of relationships is at the heart of my work. Whether you are going through a separation or divorce, loss, doubts about a new love interest, parenting or step-parenting issues, pain of an affair, an upsetting move, or a life-stage transition, I can help you move through and beyond the pain or challenges of your situation. I will listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, help make sense of what you are going through, and share both tears and laughter along the way - no matter what the pain, disappointment, confusion or anger you may experience.
