Did you know that there are normal and predictable developmental milestones for all adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents? Knowing and understanding these can help you navigate life in a more empowered manner. As a member of the adoption constellation, I know from the inside out, the issues facing this population. I have dedicated my life and work as a psychologist, to help educate and heal the lives of all who are affected. While it is sometimes difficult to experience the loss and grief that is inherent in adoption. once It is embraced and validated, this difficult concept becomes manageable and life can be lived more fully

Hello and thank you for coming to my website. I offer Telehealth in CA, NV HI and OR. My goal is to help people achieve a state of feeling less plagued by anxiety and depression, calmer, less plagued by negative thinking, less triggered, less encumbered by overwhelming emotions and more hopeful of achieving their dreams. My method of therapy is less talk therapy and more focused on healing body, mind and spirit. I am also a yoga informed certified yoga teacher and level two Reiki practitioner. I accept insurance through Headway Behavioral Health.

It is my passion to help others live happier, calmer, and more fulfilling lives. Much of our inexplicable behavior and habits that hold us back are rooted in our genes, childhood, family dynamics, traumas, and circumstances. I help my clients to understand what holds them back and move through it. I help them to overcome difficult transitions and parenting challenges. I help them to improve their relationships, change negative lifestyle habits, reduce stress, improve confidence and self-esteem, uncover their passions, and eventually become true selves.

My main goal is to create a nurturing environment where clients can freely express their thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a collaborative partnership where we work together towards healing and progress. I highly value your input, insights, and experiences as we navigate your personal journey. Tailored to your needs, my focus includes understanding emotions, improving communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, managing stress and anxiety, recognizing patterns and behaviors, and more. I effortlessly build rapport and provide a secure and non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

I am clinical psychologist and learning disabilities specialist with bi-coastal practices in both Scarsdale, New York and Calabasas, California. Within my practice, I provide evidence based psychological treatments, executive function training, and parenting skills. My goal is to provide skill based interventions that support success for children and adolescents at home, in school, and in their social community. My work is practical, effective, and efficient in terms of treatment length. I work collaboratively with parents, schools, and outside professionals to provide a full service program.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who places greatest value in establishing an empathic, warm, & respectful environment (while modeling firm, healthy boundaries) for clients & their families. Over the last 7 years I've treated adults, children, teens, couples, families, & groups in a private practice setting. My strength-based, collaborative approach drawing on numerous techniques (CBT, DBT, Fam Systems, etc.) helps clients get the most from therapy & allows tailoring our work to your needs. When beneficial and appropriate, I work to foster a "team approach," encouraging good communication w/other members of a client's daily life (i.e. other practitioners/physicians, family, teachers, etc.).

“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key” (The Eagles) “No one ever talked like this with me before” “They didn't force” “They listen and never force you, and they do not make assumptions about you” “You are unique and do not compare yourself to other people’s journey’s…do not do permanent decisions to things that will change in time” These are commentaries gained from people who experienced collaborative-dialogic ways of helping in the Now I See A Person Institute. Come hear words of hope and remedy, where dignity, dialogue and freedom arise within therapy, coaching...

I specialize in treating treating high achieving individuals & couples, with perfectionist tendencies. My priority is your emotional safety. Non judgmental support allows for your sharing openly and honestly. The need to "be right" can be unconscious, & you may be hurting those you love. My skilled intuition, and 25+ yrs. of clinical success, knows hope is available for the motivated and committed recovering anxious, obsessive, & over analyzing adult. Our trusting relationship inspires you to reflect upon your life/relationship goals; together we explore, & honestly challenge: "Do I want to be right?" Or, do I want to be loved?"

Navigating the complexities of life can be challenging, daunting and overwhelming. We all come from various backgrounds and upbringings that shape us into who we are today. It takes strength and courage to want to explore and process our past to pave a more fulfilling and promising road ahead for us. It is an honor for me to walk along that journey with my clients, as they challenge negative thought patterns, work through anxiety and depression, explore the depths of their trauma, create healthier relationships, and break maladaptive generational patterns.

Therapy is a unique experience aimed at helping clients understand their emotions as well as learning that our symptoms are telling us something. It is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client that allows each client to explore not only their symptoms but understand ones self, while obtaining valuable tools to deal with emotions, conflict, and interpersonal communication. In my office I offer a warm non-judgmental space for self exploration and growth.

I especially love working with teenage clients who have anxiety or coming out issues and need coping strategies. I also specialize in helping families heal their issues and relationships. I listen carefully to my clients to understand what they are saying, not only on a conscious level, but on a subconscious level. In that way, I get a deeper understanding of what they actually want and what they need, and why.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, neurodiversity, and trauma (e.g., physical/sexual/emotional abuse, abandonment, rape, assault, and accidents), including trauma-related disorders like PTSD, eating disorders, and self-harm.

My 20+ years experience as a former attorney informs my work in separation/divorce cases and with clients otherwise involved in the legal system. I also do expert witness work in cases within my specialty areas.
