Are you looking for a therapist who will do more than sit, nod, and ask "how that feels?" You’re a woman who is no stranger to the idea of self-care (even if it’s hard to come by some days) and who knows if you can find the right kind of support, you can experience the relief and change you’re looking for. You’re tired of the miscommunications with your partner and want support navigating all the responsibilities of parenting & motherhood. You’re ready to ditch the anxiety or overwhelm that never seems to go away. You’re looking for someone who can help you gain the insight, skills, and understanding you need to get unstuck.

Life is a journey for all of us. We can feel confused, lost, hurt, alone, cut off, shut down and numb along the way. I've spent over thirty years learning and understanding how to help others on their journey to growth and discovery. I'm grateful for the trust my patients have in me and for the opportunity to be sharing the journey with them. Find the right guide for you to help you reach your goals personally, professionally and in relationship to others.

We all turn a blind eye to parts of ourselves that are too painful to experience. In an accepting, nonjudgmental environment, together we will explore the difficulties with which you are struggling, slowly recognizing the parts which you are not aware of, but which influence your experiences, the way you feel, and the way you act or react. Getting to know yourself in a deeper way can lead to a sense of empowerment, ownership of experiences, and life choices. I am a psychoanalyst and a psychotherapist, a member and faculty at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society.

I specialize in working with both individuals who are struggling to manage anxiety & looking to improve self esteem; and couples who with concerns and/or changes in their sexual relationship .

My role as a therapist is to help you access those parts of yourself that are hurt or lost and help you understand what is preventing you from moving forward. Working together, we will explore these issues and help you harness your strength and resilience. I am here to support and guide you through it all! Sessions with me will include a lot of self reflection and exploration to help you gain better insight into the underlying cause of your symptoms, empowering you to make healthy life changes. I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to work through your inner struggles and facilitate deeper healing.

Therapy works through collaboration; we work together to understand your experiences, memories and relationships in order to create change. I believe people are stronger, happier and more successful when they are connected to those around them.

If you want to solve your personal problems, control your headaches, or other symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression, deal more effectively with your loved ones, friends and coworkers, then I would like to help.

Vitality, growth, love, empathy, and meaning are essential to healthy functioning and a sense of well-being. We often create these gratifying experiences through an authentic and positive connection with ourselves and others. However, sometimes these connections are hindered due to difficult life experiences, such as loss of a loved one, career and life transitions, addiction, divorce, or relationship concerns. These struggles can lead to feeling down, isolated, anxious, and confused about how to move forward. I am here to help.

Do your interactions with family members and significant others cause you distress? Do you feel isolated because there is no one to speak to? Let me help you navigate those feelings and find ways to take affirmative steps toward improving the quality of your life. I am an empathetic and engaged therapist.
