Are you seeking individual (teen and adult), couple/partnership, or family therapy? With warmth, humor and “real talk,” I will support you in navigating personal and inter-personal challenges, and creating an authentic life that's in integrity with your values. My approach with clients is informal and collaborative - you are the expert on your life! So, let's work together to create the life you want. FYI: I currently only have new client availability with a clinic that accepts private pay, FSA/HSA cards, or out-of-network insurance coverage.

Feeling stressed, ineffective, overwhelmed, or not really sure what is bothering you? Are you wanting to take good care of yourself, and build personal growth? Do you have trauma? I'm an experienced therapist ready to help you sort out the issues, and learn skills to make your life better. People are capable of change. There is hope.

It is important to feel seen and cared about in therapy; as we learn to take in this care, great healing can take place. When you are struggling with difficult life issues, it can be difficult to go it alone. I am here to provide support as you move through it. I work with individuals and couples in areas including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions and stress management. As someone who has personally engaged in mindfulness practices such as meditation, qigong and yoga for 20+ years, I bring a strong presence and compassion to my work with clients.

Who of us does not wish to feel at ease, able to express our fullest self wherever we may find ourselves. The counseling process is an invitation to grow, to remember who we are, to gain ways to fully express our true self and our potential. You will find my style to be both supportive and collaborative, and the environment in which we meet to be warm and welcoming. My education and therapeutic training is in cognitive/behavioral, humanistic and transpersonal approaches.

I am inspired and humbled by the stories of people's lives - and I'm here to help when life gets challenging. If you're in the midst of a life transition or are feeling directionless - we can explore purpose. If life seems too hectic or feels increasingly hopeless - we'll work together to identify the underlying issue and explore solutions. If it feels like you and your teenager are stuck or if the relationship between your spouse/partner is a source of stress - we can work on communication. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and aren't sure how things can change, I can help.

I am dedicated to human sustainability. I have an expansive, holistic, and inclusive perspective of humanity and the lived human experience. As a Licensed Psychologist since 1993, I have worked with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations motivated to experience well-being, improved relationships, inner peace, efficacy, empowerment, and flourishing. In response to life’s challenges, suffering, and transitions, therapy can offer powerful, transformative healing and forward movement. I strive to create emotional safety for our work together, offering my wholeness of presence to meet your own.

I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relational issues, trauma, and I am trained in EMDR. I take special interest in working with college students/young adults struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge-Eating Disorder, and OSFED. I value each person's unique perspective, and would be honored to walk along side you in your journey!

Looking for direction and support in a confusing and difficult world? Perhaps eating issues, trauma, relationship or occupational struggles have kept left you out of balance. You or your loved ones want to feel more calm and grounded and want to understand why you are having trouble getting there.

My goal is to help my clients feel confident in drawing conclusions and taking charge of their lives. My approach is to provide a fresh, unbiased perspective drawn from both life experience and current research. Whether you are seeking therapy to better understand yourself or work on a personal relationship that just doesn't seem to improve - together you and I will find solutions that work in real life. I believe you will find me warm, friendly, and down to earth and will leave each session with a new idea to try or or a different perspective to consider.

Rely on me to help you leave each session feeling accepted and understood. Whatever your hope, the immediate—and often central—aim of therapy is that you feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Perhaps you seek relief from a specific symptom, help addressing a particular diagnosis, or support enduring a difficult time. Maybe you are struggling with low self-esteem, questions of purpose or identity, or with a vague sense of emptiness or disquiet. Or, you may seek couples therapy to reduce the frequency and intensity of fights, resolve thorny issues, or rebuild after a breach of trust.

Accepting new clients. My life's mission is to work with clients to further their understanding of their life experiences and the issues that may arise on a daily basis, and how they can manage these issues when they arise. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, or groups address emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges.

Working with people overwhelmed by trauma, depressed, anxious, or simply stuck, is a passion of mine. Why? Because I have found in both my own life & professional experience that, paradoxically, these painful areas of our life can offer us opportunity for personal growth and understanding ourselves. To be clear, this is not easy, and takes lots of courage. It's a journey, a practice, which leads to self-compassion & a healthy way to live authentically in the world. In a relationship of trust, I will support & challenge you to find your own inner wisdom, your own answers to wholehearted living.

Psychotherapy is something that happens between people...you and me. It is a process that I expertly and sensitively guide, but it is something that we experience together. Relationships, past and present, may be a source of pain, frustration, or fear...but they are also the key to unlocking your full potential. Together, we will work to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as to develop a fuller understanding of the deeper, underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional and relational patterns that limit your capacity to more fully give and receive love.

Immediate openings available for new clients. Life can be challenging for all of us sometimes, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to offer a safe space for you and your story. The most important part of my work is developing a strong therapeutic relationship with you that is attuned to your unique healing process. Together, we can explore your experiences, feelings, and thoughts and work toward developing a greater awareness of underlying patterns, needs, strengths, and dreams.

Each year new research emerges highlighting the importance of intimate relationships on personal health and wellness. People who have satisfying connections with family, friends, and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer. For these reasons, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve the quality of the relationships they have with themselves and those around them. I provide practical information about intimate, long-term connection (based on current research), and offer specific strategies in response to clients' challenges and problems. My approach is collaborative, experiential, and strengths-based.

At the end of the day, relationships are what life is about, right? But what if your partner makes it difficult to have a fulfilling relationship? Perhaps there have been years of disconnection. Maybe you're not even sure if this relationship can work. Come in and let me share with you the latest research about relationships and what you need to do when your partner is being difficult in order to get more of what you want. Once you've done your part, we'll know what direction this relationship is going in.

Our journey begins with a mutual exploration, where I strive to understand you on a profound level through thoughtful inquiries, while also respecting your boundaries. These questions are designed to unearth your essence, identify your strengths, and pinpoint obstacles to your success. If you find value in it, I may provide assignments to further your growth. Progress is not only rooted in our sessions' revelations but also in embracing your authentic self. Together, we embark on a transformative path towards personal and professional flourishing.

If you are reading this, you're probably experiencing significant pain. Perhaps you're facing a break-up, or you realize your new partner is very much like the previous one. You may be scared, uncertain of the next step. Perhaps you are single, asking what it might take to find the right partner, or you may feel stuck in your marriage. You'll come in, plop yourself down, and ask me to fix you. I'll say: "I cannot do that." "All right," you say, "then, what is the point?" I'll respond: "I can help you be curious."
