I have been in private practice for 44 years. I am a Board Certified Diplomate Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have two years of post graduate training in Family and Couples Therapy and six years of study in Sex Therapy. I completed a five month Intensive Trauma Certification Program. I try to create a safe non judgmental environment so that you can talk about your concerns. Psychotherapy allows you time to think about your life, where you are, and where you would like to be. I am a interactive and relational psychotherapist. I see young adults and adults for individual and couples psychotherapy.

The weight of this world is already so disorienting, and you’ve worked so hard, yet you still find yourself doubting yourself as the internal goalpost keeps shifting. You're caught in a cycle of self-doubt and fear. Despite knowing what you want, you struggle to reconcile your thoughts and feelings, feeling stuck in old patterns that seem impossible to break. Maybe you're contemplating leaving a stressful job, moving to a new town, cutting ties with those who hurt you, and talking it all through in therapy, and while those steps have helped improve things, you noticed that the old patterns seem to be omnipresent.

Accepting NEW clients — Feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief are totally normal responses in these difficult times. My goal as a therapist is to guide clients through whatever is keeping them from living their happiest lives — whether the issue is more recent or a deeper issue that has been draining someone’s energy for years (or a lifetime). I operate from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective to help clients understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help clients develop skills and strategies to mitigate OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma/PTSD symptoms that interfere with well-being.

Welcome! I help teens and adults with eating disorders/disordered eating, mood and anxiety issues, life stressors and transitions. "Over-thinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, feeling out of control, stuck or disconnected" are some ways my clients describe their difficulties. These issues may be eating/body-related and/or may impact other areas such as friendship/relationship patterns, school/work functioning or low self-esteem. A common need is to bring balance and flexibility back into behaviors and thoughts, in turn, freeing up valuable mental space, time and energy that can then be directed towards meaningful life values.

Life has turned upside down and is now full of uncertainty. Each day can feel overwhelming, stressful and isolating. At times, it can feel like you are drowning. You may be feeling exhausted from trying to balance work and home life, yet feel like you just can’t get things right. Again and again, it feels you are somehow falling short. Resentment builds. You’re feeling guilty and anxious, but still there seems to be overwhelming pressure to do more and give more.
