My success in treating clients stems from my approach which is straightforward and solution-focused to help clients move forward rather than staying stuck in their challenge areas.

My goal is to create a calm and healing therapeutic environment. In this atmosphere, you are allowed to explore areas of challenges and personal growth.

Are you experiencing a wide range of emotions? Are you going thru a difficult transition at this time in your life and find it hard to get your needs met? These experiences can cause anxiety and or depression. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who can give you some much-needed empathy, offer some insight and and relate to what you are going through. I am willing to guide you through the storm and assist you with finding some peace of mind. I am a Psychotherapist specializing in transition issues, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict, as well as codependents involved in a narcissistic relationship. My philosophy is to meet my clients where they are using an eclectic approach and to help them understand their behavior patterns, gain insight into their past and current challenges and help them feel empowered in their daily life. I am also a Life Coach focusing on transformation, self-esteem and self-sabotage, mind-body balance and productivity. Change is hard. Chronic stress can sneak up on you. I've been there too. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step to take, don't hesitate to reach out for a lifeline. You don't have to stay anxious and or depressed. Therapy and coaching have been around for a long time. An abundance of clinical research shows they are a proven method of helping to create change, positivity and, most importantly, a meaningful life.

I began working in this field almost 30 years ago because I wanted to make a tangible difference in people's lives. Over the years, I have worked with countless individuals, couples, families, and groups to help them improve their quality of life. Through my experience, I have learned that: Although many may appear to be similar demographically in terms of age, race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, etc., everyone brings hisher own individual histories to therapy -- histories that distinguish each client as a unique individual. As a result, I welcome all clients, and I recognize that each client will bring hisher own history and values to therapy. I commit to working within each individual's system of values as I try to help the individual draw from hisher history to improve hisher quality of life. My two primary metrics are: a) tangible improvements in an individual's life, and b) the individual's feelings and understanding regarding change and the process of change. Like physical therapists and coaches who are willing to challenge their athletes to perform at full potential, I am willing to challenge my clients to reach their full potential in life. But my guiding philosophy is: "challenge by choice" -- I will only as far and as fast as my clients are comfortable.

I am an internationally-known couples therapist, workshop presenter, and clinical trainer. In 2010, I founded the Tikkun Learning Center, an educational institution through which I train, supervise, and consult therapists in Encounter-centered Couples Therapy (EcCT). EcCT is an extremely effective method with proven success in teaching couples who to re-create the magic of connection. EcCT is an integrative approach inspired by the philosophy of Martin Buber, as well as a variety of relational methodologies including Imago Relationship Therapy, Appreciative Inquiry, Re-evaluation Counseling, and Relational Neuro-biology. I have developed a unique, customized, transformational two-day private session for one couple. You will receive my full attention, expertise and mastery, and I will introduce you to the groundbreaking and pragmatic principle of the three invisible connectors: "the Space, the Bridge, and the Encounter."

I approach therapy as a partnership between you and me. You know you best and I know mental health. Between the two of us, we will develop a customized approach to help you heal from long-term wounds that just don’t seem to shift with self-help books, podcasts, or short-term work. I work best with individuals who are committed to treatment and thrive in developing a long-term relationship with a provider to help navigate complex issues like generalized anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and attachment issues. Most of my clients work with me on childhood trauma they have spent a lifetime avoiding, but now notice showing up in daily life as panic attacks, insomnia, appetite problems, relationship issues, and unpleasant memories.

My clients describe me as warm, accepting and non-judgmental. I believe that finding the right therapist for you is an important part of having a positive experience in therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients with the goal of helping them better understand themselves and lead a more balanced and fulfilled life. I help my clients to think about their problems and relationship in new ways by offering support and feedback about behavioral and relationship patterns. While I do not offer direct advice, I am active and participatory in each session with my clients.

Do you ever feel like there's an instruction book to life that everyone got but you? Does it seem like everyone else "has it all together" and you're just trying to fake your way through life? Not a good feeling, is it? Believe it or not, you're not alone, and you're not as bad as you think. You've learned ways to think and feel about yourself that made sense in the past, but they aren't working so well now. I specialize in helping my clients identify their unhelpful ways of thinking and feeling so they can choose to think and feel differently about themselves and improve their self-esteem. I also help clients to process traumatic experiences, both "big T" traumas (like combat, sexual and physical assaults, and car accidents), and "little T" traumas (like negative interactions that lead to a poor self-image). Contact me today so I can help you to understand why you shouldn't believe everything you think!

I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in insight-oriented therapy that helps you understand your symptoms and experiences to inform your direction in life. I do this by listening and helping you put your feelings into words. In the initial interview, we will try to understand why you are looking for therapy now and what your personal and therapeutic goals are. The people I work with tend to struggle with mood disorders, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and difficulty managing strong feelings. Please call to schedule a consultation, either in person or virtually.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, grief, mood challenges, trauma, and substance use. I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking clarity, healing, and a more grounded sense of self. Together, we work to understand patterns that no longer serve them, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and have more than 20 years of experience as a mental health clinician. I have extensive experience helping children, adults, and families. I have a heart for people who are struggling with issues of everyday life. Day after day, we feel pressures and struggles that can turn us into people we don't want to be. I want to help you overcome these problems and difficult situations. I believe everyone can change because personalities and brains are flexible and adaptive. I use Cognitive-Behavioral, DBT, Integrative-Solution-Focused, Mindfulness intervention (Included NLP & Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy). Clients learn to make sense of themselves, to understand core problems, to let go of bad habits, and learn a healthy way forward in life. I believe that you are ready, have unlimited personal resources to reach your full potentiality. Let's work together to reach your goals in life! My office has a beautiful and professional atmosphere. You are one step closer to change. You can email or call me to set up an appointment.

I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist, and I want to get to know you as a whole person and in the context of your relationships, your interests, how you make a living, and your beliefs. For couples, this also applies, as well as my POV on seeing the relationship as the client and taking a non-blaming approach. I use a combination of listening, support, validation, education, teaching skills, and providing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and all of these can be dialed up or back based on what you need and prefer. My style is open and direct, and you can ask me about any part of the process.
