I have over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly incorporating a combination of CBT and mindful techniques in order to help navigate through all aspects of life.

Covid-19 has brought the world of mental health fragility to a new level never seen before. The isolation and loneliness felt by everyone from children to the elderly has caused a rise in depression, anxiety and fear regarding every day life and the future. These strains are unhealthy emotionally and physically and need attention to avoid lasting impressions. The working relationship in therapy is to define underlying issues, stuck thought patterns and transform negative behavior to evolve into a positive and thriving attitude and consequently, life choices. We will join together to create the life you desire, as I help guide you.

My view is that lasting change comes through self understanding. I help people in a safe, nonjudgemental environment to develop a greater sense of control over themselves and their lives. As a psychoanalytic therapist, I am best suited to help people who are curious about themselves and others. Current neuroscience shows us that overcoming emotional problems usually involves a process of understanding underlying issues. I am experienced in helping individuals, couples and families in times of crisis.

I consider therapy a cooperative and interactive process where I can offer my experience in listening carefully and find a path to use your strengths to feel better in your relationships, your work and your body. Therapy should be a safe place in which to untangle depression and anxiety which may be situational or long term. Feeling troubled by relationships with our partners, young children, adult children, parents, work challenges, medical issues and many life changes may lead us to seek help. I have experience working with the painful experiences of abuse, trauma, and loss, whether recent or old.

I approach therapy with the understanding that our mind and body are not separated but aspects of a unified whole. Our emotions and life history are held and manifest in the body and change begins when we acknowledge and work with our full being. Through a process that goes beyond talk, I help my clients bring attention to how their concerns effect how they breathe, feel, move, think and express themselves, as I support them in gradually exploring the underlying emotional terrain.

My clinical orientation and training is Integrative, as it combines Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) perspectives with Eastern one. I probe for problematic thinking styles and attitudes that are often part of personality disorders and self-handicapping strategies. In many cases, this plays a central role in many disorders.

Many conditions can affect our cognition, interfering with skills such as learning, memory, attention, problem solving, planning, or processing information. Neuropsychology is focused on understanding how brain health impacts cognition and behavior and using that information to make or clarify a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and/or monitor cognitive abilities over time.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.
