I specialize in working with young professionals, adults, new parents, and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship needs, family issues, trauma, self-esteem, identity exploration, and grief and loss.
Identifying and deciding to work through your personal needs is a bold and courageous step. Although it can be overwhelming to share your story with a therapist who is not known to you, it can also be liberating to speak to a neutral party. I use a warm and non-judgemental approach and value your wellbeing and boundaries. By taking a gradual and exploratory approach, you and I will develop a strong, safe and meaningful relationship in order to reach your particular goals.

We are living in challenging times. The degree of uncertainty we face is enough to cause thoughts and feelings that interfere with our daily functioning. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic issues of depression, anxiety, domestic violence, substance abuse, and suicide were already problems many people struggled with. For many, COVID has caused or intensified these conditions and created a need for additional resources. Resources that lead them to thrive and enjoy time with family and friends.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Many problems in adulthood stem from what we learned in childhood. Many strategies that were successful when we were young (ways to feel safe, reduce our anxieties, and calm our fears) no longer work in adulthood. We will talk about your childhood so that we can get a clearer idea of what you learned and how that may interfere with your happiness now. I have worked successfully with clients who are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety (panic attacks, OCD), trauma and abuse, addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex), relationship problems, and issues of identity (sexual orientation, racial and ethnic identity).

Or looking at feelings of long standing depression and anxiety and needing to openly consider what is not working in your life.
I see people in individual and couple therapy. I try to balance understanding a couple as a whole as well as the two individuals that form the relationship. I help couples focus on ineffective communication patterns that result in a sense of frustration and discouragement, which push each other away. I encourage each person to express his or her emotional needs more directly and openly. People often express anger and criticism about their partner's behavior, but have difficulty asking for what they need in a clear, non-attacking way. When each person makes an effort to change, they start to feel less stuck and more hopeful.

Most of my patients seek help with anxiety, excessive stress or anger, depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
I really enjoy working with people who want to be helped with painful feelings and experiences that have interfered with their sense of well being. All of us are limited by upsettingly negative emotions that make it harder to accomplish things that would make our lives richer, more comfortable and secure. I base my work on the principles of Mindfulnes Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This approach has been shown to be very successful helping anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, phobias and many other individual and relationship issues. Like most experienced therapists, I also integrate ideas from other approaches whenever appropriate.

The decision to start therapy is personal and courageous and not always easy. Everyone goes through times when they feel more stressed out, angry, anxious or depressed. It is easier for people to explore their lives and make transformations when they are working with a therapist that they feel comfortable with and trust. My intention is to help you identify the goals you want to work on and to help you understand what is getting in the way of achieving them. I ultimately want to give you a new perspective and look at your underlying belief systems and the repetitive patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Life can be tough.

I have advanced training in problems involving depression, anxiety, anger-management and issues related to eating and body-image.
Together, we work to create a calm, safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that allows you the freedom to express yourself. It's not always easy to speak about problems or painful pasts or even, at times, current situations. However, careful, empathetic listening and gentle inquiry make it possible to begin to explore behaviors and feelings and eventually to gain insights that facilitate changes.

Depression Therapists
What is the goal of therapy for depression?
Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognize and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.
What happens in therapy for depression?
Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.
What therapy types help with depression?
Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioral activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.
Can therapy for depression be done online?
Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.
How effective is therapy for depression?
Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
