I have experience with addictions, including eating disorders, as well as helping couples cope with infertility, adoption and changing careers.
Are you silently suffering by not using your voice? My therapeutic approach is to focus on helping you find the strength to use this voice and understand how anxiety might be getting in the way from you having the life that you want. Honoring your truth is the path to healing and creating healthy relationships. I will work with you to help reduce negative "self-talk" and better understand how anger, shame and guilt can actually help guide you to your authentic, more fulfilled self. Additionally, I have many years of experience in working with clients around the US and the globe via Tele-therapy.

In treating couples I have worked with infertility, Interfaith issues, couples navigating their child's learning differences, adoption related issues, parenting differences, and couples dealing with infidelity.
I have 25 years of experience in working with adults and adolescents who present with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity issues, trauma, parenting issues, family conflict, and relationship difficulties. I work with clients to understand the root of their current difficulties, and to help them develop the insight that they will need to avoid repeating problematic patterns. I meet the client where he/she is at to work on the issues that both feel most relevant and also interfere most with their enjoyment of life. There is a dual focus on symptom relief and on building introspection and self-esteem.

Feeling overwhelmed with life, and don't know where to begin? In today's demanding world, you find yourself with so many things that you are juggling in order to create a healthy balance in your life. No matter how much you put your best foot forward, there is always something that gets in the way, causing you to doubt your progress. You try to push through each day with a smile on your face, but internally you are falling apart. You are living in survival mode and feeling like you are barely making it. Life has a way of making us feel broken down, conflicted and frustrated. I can reassure you that it does not have to be this way.

Are you a woman dealing with fertility issues?

Have you been battling with feelings of frustration, depression, anxiety, hopelessness or worthlessness? Do you find the stresses associated with your fertility journey are beginning to impact your personal relationships, making them difficult to manage? Your family and friends offer their support but you still feel alone and isolated.

I offer additional expertise in the areas of relationships, sexual orientation, gender identity, and adoption issues.
I believe that people have an innate capacity to heal and change. Access to this healing is sometimes blocked by negative and destructive patterns that are formed when there is a need to adapt and survive difficult, traumatic or overwhelming experiences. In a collaborative, empathic, and safe atmosphere, I facilitate people’s connections to their own resources and foster the creation of a compassionate self that is free to make mindful choices and unhook old patterns. Through psychodynamic and somatically oriented approaches, people find new insights and awareness, build resiliency and create pathways to greater fulfillment.

Are you feeling stuck in feelings of worry about the future, or anger about the past? Or feeling guilt or shame because you don't know how to get out of the pain you're feeling? Part of the issue might be because you're human, and we are not designed to cope with our problems alone.

Asking for help can be hard, but most of us could benefit from guidance at some time in our lives. I am a sensitive and empathic clinician who is interested in working with people to discover answers to questions and problems that get in the way of achieving goals and enjoying life. I believe that therapy is a process of building trust, examining patterns, and making connections between past and present, and that the process can improve one's outlook and functioning in the world.

I help adoptees, people living with trauma and people suffering with anxiety and panic move towards the life and relationships they want. I work with issues of identity, connection, belonging, and how trauma is held in the body, the way the body keeps the score. My goal is to help you find both symptom relief and deeper change. I run groups for adult adoptees, and I have a new group starting weekly, Monday nights, running Jan. 27-June 23. In addition, I work with people on their sleep issues with CBT-I.

I specialize in working with people who are feeling impacted by external factors such as trauma, abuse, loss, relationships, and stress. This impact might look like frequent negative or unwanted thoughts, nightmares, irritability, anxiety, sadness, hypervigilance, or being numb to feelings entirely. Some people use therapy to get rid of these symptoms or to improve on their day to day happiness, some may use it to get "unstuck" from things that are bothering them, and some may use it because they need compassion and support regarding the harder aspects of their life.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.
