I am experienced in working with young adults, adults and
seniors
(the well elderly).
I view treatment as a collaborative effort between client and therapist. This working relationship is an essential ingredient in the healing process.
Having an eclectic approach, I try to fit the treatment to the needs of the patient. I draw from interpersonal, psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral and family systems ideas in conceptual-
izing and addressing the problems at hand. It is extremely rewarding for me
to assist clients in recognizing and freeing up their potential.

I have experience working with young adults, older adults, and
seniors
with substance use concerns, behavioral concerns, self-esteem and relationship issues, and mood and anxiety disorders.
Growth is nurtured through a collaborative, challenging, and caring relationship with a therapist. My approach is relational, culturally-sensitive, and creative, using a developmental lens to understand your story and how it informs your current struggles and goals. I integrate cognitive behavioral, feminist, and psychodynamic therapies to help you better understand yourself and your relationships. Together, we develop strategies and solutions for healing.

I have 40 years experience, and am deeply committed to, treating adults between 25 and 65 years old. Men and women suffering from confusion, anxiety and depression as they struggle to realize their potential – in their professional, sexual and love life. The goal of my work with patients is to understand their personal complexity so that new and constructive patterns of living can be obtained. Most importantly, the working through process of psychoanalytic treatment leads to the development of a strong, creative self and a freeing up of one’s potential and direction going forward.

Life is hard. And, sometimes we lose our bearings along the way. There are times when the usual answers aren't enough and we must turn inward to search more deeply for the source of the patterns that keep us stuck and that make us suffer more than we need to. The path out of our darkness requires leaning into it rather than running from it. It requires going through it and doing the work that can lead us to the other side--to a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Let’s work together to create the life you want. From starting a new job to having a baby to dealing with a divorce—our lives are constantly in flux. Transitions evoke strong emotions and raise big questions. How do I have to change things to make this work? What will have meaning in my life? Who will be there for me? What happens now?

All of us face periods in our lives when we feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed, or unhappy, but with the right support and insight, these experiences can be pivot points for change and growth. By asking how we got here, we can start to understand hidden patterns in our thinking and behavior, and reckon with the parts of ourselves, and our lives, that feel out of our control. Working together, we will explore both past and present, in order to create a new sense of clarity and agency in deciding what comes next.

As a therapist with a disability, I have a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering. I have learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities," with the help of my guide dog Faith, as she literally guides me around obstacles, and has enhanced my life, turning around an otherwise insurmountable feat. Decades of clinical and life experience, keen intuition, along with compassion and a holistic, evidenced-based approach, and a sense of humor, are some of the key ingredients leading my clients towards feeling better, finding direction and actualizing potential.

I am a (neuro)psychoanalyst specializing in unconscious, inner conflict of the interrelated structures of brain and mind. Patients are often referred to me after previous efforts have felt unhelpful, limited or kept one "stuck" in and out of therapy. My focus is both on the material functioning within awareness, and dynamics operating underneath our wish--and fears--to change. This substance generates felt and unfelt strife within all individuals, regardless of symptoms, situation or diagnosis. That is to say, there is invaluable MEANING and FUNCTION to any thought, feeling or behavior; we do not operate separate from ourselves.

Collaboration and trust characterize a strong therapeutic relationship. Therapy is very much a conversation about how you think and feel and what you hope to change. My starting questions are "why now," and "how would you like me to help"? I am trained in developmental and clinical psychology and work with adolescents, young adults, families and adults throughout the life span. Anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and transitioning to adulthood are specialties.

Right now we all have issues dealing with Covid and perhaps entering into a different ways of being as the Covid threat lessens and society opens up. Things will be different, not as they were before, exactly. This is our chance to use the Covid pause and reevaluate where we are and where we would like to be.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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, 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.
