Is your anger causing problems in your relationships? Or at work? Do you feel like you go from 0 to 100 in seconds? Out of control anger can get you in a lot of trouble. No doubt you’ve already experienced some of that in your life and you’d like to get a handle on it. You want to stop hurting the people you love, the people you’re friends with, the people you have to work with, but when something happens to set you off, you just can’t help blowing up. You may worry about whether one day you’re going to use up your last chance and lose your significant other, your family, your job. You need some help getting unstuck from this.

I believe that who we are, our thoughts, emotions, and actions are inspired by things deep below the surface. Some of which include our childhood experiences and our core beliefs. My goal is to walk alongside you in exploring who you are and who you hope to become. As such, I am looking for clients who value curiosity and desire to develop insight and self-awareness. I am specifically interested in working with individuals who are exploring interpersonal challenges, navigating life transitions, exploring their cultural and/ or spiritual identities, and navigating self-doubt amid professional success.

My goal is to develop and nurture a therapeutic relationship that enables individuals, couples, and families to live their best lives. I believe that everyone deserves fulfillment and have it within them to not only explore the possibilities but to also make it happen.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, PTSD and spirituality. I also specialize in working with families in conflict and crisis. I work with people of all backgrounds and have a particular passion for supporting those who are struggling with their Judaism and Jewish identity. Mindfulness-based body-centered psychotherapy is my primary approach to psychotherapy. I sprinkle in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as appropriate. Upon request, I also enjoy integrating spirituality based on your value system. I am a holistic psychotherapist and do not push medication; instead I support my clients in using psychotherapy and integrative medical physicians to heal.

I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker with exceptional clinical skills and compassion in providing counseling for anxiety, depression, PSTD, grief counseling, caregiver support, life challenges, and stress management. I will assist you in gaining insight on how to manage life challenges through Talk and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and developing coping techniques. Serving teens and adults.

As we move through the journey of life, we experience such an array of emotions. These emotions are often trying to communicate something to us about our experience. I would be honored to walk alongside you to help you identify what these emotions are, notice where they are coming from, and understand what they are trying to communicate. My goal is to work with you to not only develop strategies to help you cope with current challenges, but also foster personal growth that can lead to sustainable change.
