Life is full of transitions and hardships, and for a person struggling with an Eating Disorder, Addiction, Anxiety, OCD, Depression or Relationship stress (whether as a parent, a partner, or a child) managing that change can often become overwhelming and more challenging. As a therapist specializing in the treatment of Eating Disorders and Relationships, I offer a safe and confidential space to explore both your past, present and what you would like out of your future, in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

I have been seeing patients for over 19 years and my experience has shown me time and again the wonderful changes that individuals can attain when they become more aware of the hidden meanings behind seemingly incomprehensible and self-destructive behaviors. When one takes the time to try to understand these behaviors instead of simply judging them negatively, it is often the case that maladaptive behavior patterns are discovered to be attempts persisting from the past at finding the best solution to a difficult situation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. I have been practicing for over 30 years. I work in an insight oriented and supportive therapeutic environment concentrating on ego functioning and interpersonal relationships. I deal with issues of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, mood regulation and the management of emotions and conflict. My therapeutic goal is to help each patient to develop more self-awareness and insight so that they can make better choices and achieve more personal satisfaction - while decreasing the anxiety and conflicts that limit their daily emotional experience and self-confidence.

Life long secrets? Sexual abuse? Relationship issues, interested in trying the Gottman Method? Sex & Porn addiction? Youth sexual behavior problems? Shame spiral, depression, anxiety? You’re desperate for relief but nothing helps. Abuse nightmares & flashbacks are spinning out of control. You’re concerned about your spouse or child's sexuality- but don’t know how to help. How do you get your relationship back on track? Do you stay or leave your marriage? Feeling hopeless? Longing for peace? These are specialty areas I have successfully helped clients with for 23 years, in addition to my work with anxiety and mood disorders.

I provide a warm and safe yet dynamic environment in which my clients express their innermost thoughts, gain insight, heal wounds and learn to live with more confidence, humor and joy. With 25 years of supervising and clinical experience with children, adults and couples, I am able to quickly attune and help clients feel at ease. I listen closely to my client’s thoughts, fears and dreams while helping them to make meaningful connections that strengthen their sense of self. While deep inner work generally takes time, some positive change can be anticipated rapidly.

I have offices in Redmond, WA and Portland, OR. I'm licensed in NY, OR, WA, currently inactive status in HI and CA but willing to activate HI. I do double sessions and am practicing virtually only.

I work with families, couples or individuals of all ages.

You excel in one or more areas of your life, yet you silently struggle with feelings of being unworthy and unlovable. Sometimes you may even feel like an outsider in your own life. Maybe you buy nice things, or go on amazing trips, but for some reason you still don’t feel happy. You may hide behind your work and push people away because you are afraid to let them know who you really are. This is not what you want to be doing but you can’t help it. This is not your fault. You are doing the best you can with the resources you were given. At The Empowerment Opportunity, we will help you tap into different resources within yourself.

Coping skills are important, and I will certainly help you with those. But you want to really live your life, not just get through it. Merely coping is not enough, you want to thrive! That's my working assumption. If you don't think that's possible, that's where our work begins, to figure out how you can regain hope, and the belief that vitality is your birthright. Clearing space for creativity is an important part of the process. Don't have a creative bone in your body, you say? I say you're wrong. Let's talk.

How many times have you said to yourself, "I've got to stop doing this"? And then you do it again. I know because I've worked with hundreds of people, individually and in groups, who have said the same thing. But together we have found a way to get them unstuck and onto a path of increased self-esteem and happiness. Whether the issue is putting unhealthy food in your body or not effectively communicating, I'm here to help you identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck so that you can take charge of your life.
