Post pandemic earth is a tough place to live. My adolescent and adult clients alike have experienced increased anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, stress and anger; around loss, personal responsibilities, connection, and even just taking up space in a chaotic world. I approach therapy as way to take back parts of yourself that have been lost to loss and harm, while discovering emerging new parts. Though our discussions get heavy, I aim to smile and laugh with my clients through it all.

I have exensive post-graduate training in family and adolescent treatment/ Family and couples treatment may include the issue of chronic illness and its effects on the family and the struggles of the "sandwich generation" where couples are coping with both the needs of their children and their aging parents.

I also enjoy working with adolescent and young adult clients, particularly those healing from trauma or navigating life transitions.
Therapy is about accepting who you are, while also exploring the ways you can grow. I’m here to assist you in processing conflicts and experiences, and working on ways to help you cope and move forward. I use art therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to support introspection and healing. Art therapy can help you access and harness your strengths for healthy change, but you get to decide how much art making you want to integrate. If you haven’t made art since second grade - no worries! No artistic experience is necessary to benefit.

I help children/ adolescents and adults to imaginatively explore their feelings through mindfulness and talk therapy.
I imagine you may wonder what your life means. You might want to feel vitally connected to nature, the spiritual world and people in your life. Or you feel sad or numb and want to understand why, to feel more energy. Or you just want to sit still and not worry about the future. In one way or another, you are looking to feel safe and fulfilled, to relieve distress and feel less alone. Perhaps you feel loneliness and don't know what to do about it or have an addiction you sometimes hide and sometimes admit to yourself. You may have a child or adolescent you're concerned about, with conflicts you hope can heal.

I enjoy my work as I help individuals, adolescents and marital couples discover better ways of coping with their emotions.
Most adults enter psychotherapy because they are dissatisfied with certain aspects of their lives or certain aspects of their selves. Most want to change but don't know how. I find that as I provide an accepting, non-judgemental attitude to the understanding of their problems, individuals are able to uncover emotional blocks, untangle emotional confusions, and work toward developing more successful ways of being in their worlds.

Understanding one's own triggers coupled with parenting strategies to use with a troubled teen or a toddler prone to tantrums creates more peace in the home.
I work with individuals and couples. As a marriage counselor, I strive to teach the skills of true empathy. When a family system is strained, parents often need individual support as well as marriage counseling. Providing support for parents is essential to the health of the kids and the whole family. When a child is having trouble, the family system struggles. Identifying the barriers to communication and how one's history shows up in one's parenting style is necessary to whole family healing. You don't have to parent a troubled teen or difficult toddler alone.

I have postdoctoral training in both child/ adolescent and adult psychoanalysis. My approach underscores the significance of relationships with others and the role of social and cultural forces in personality development. As a psychoanalyst, I see patients on a 1-3 times a week basis for intensive long-term work that typically lasts no less than a year for children/ adolescents and two years for adults.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual, family, couples, adolescent, and marriage counseling. My experience includes working with PTSD, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, family and relationship problems, and mood disorders. While I take a more holistic approach, I am trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. Making a decision to see a therapist might be the first step toward healing, and I will gladly guide and support you along that route.
