cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eclectic modalities for that client.

Are you finding yourself unable to outthink a problem, seem to be running into the same issue over and over, or feeling stuck about what you want to do? I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Often, my clients find that their unique history continues to impact them to this day. Together, we will further define what the problem is and move toward a more whole you. Healing can be a powerful force when someone feels heard and seen. I primarily use a psychodynamic approach to therapy. This means I will not only help you address uncomfortable symptoms, but also understand the root underlying causes. Understanding how and why someone becomes depressed and/or anxious can lead to longer lasting outcomes of improved mental well-being.

Therapy can help when life becomes overwhelming, when you feel alone in your struggles, or when you’re experiencing major life changes. You may find it difficult to talk about your problems with family members or friends, as they may not understand your feelings. My role as a therapist is to empower those facing various issues in their lives and to help you cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way. Being listened to can help you feel understood and remind you that other people care about you and what you have to say. I provide a supportive, caring, nonjudgmental, safe, and culturally appropriate atmosphere.

As a mental health professional in the age of the new millenium, I would describe my approach to helping people as integrative and holistic. As a therapist, I think it is crucial to create a loving, safe environment for each individual. Then specific to each individual, I create a plan integrating cognitive behavioral techniques, psychotherapy, visualization, relaxation, EMDR, hypnosis and reiki. Together with the client, we create a new positive self-image that can completely transform an individual's life. As Nelson Mandela said," Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure".

I cannot work with Medicaid nor with most Medicare and ACA insurance plans. *** We have open conversations where all your thoughts and experiences are welcome, and we can focus on areas that show laden emotionality and potential for your growth and increased self-awareness and acceptance. It is like opening a good door in your mind that may never have been opened before. As trust develops, you will be able to speak more and more freely and connect on the issues that have the most impact for you. I also engage in order to question ideas that seem to be misunderstandings or self-limiting, in order to help you find more clarity and positive energy. Clients report feeling seen and heard, and feeling relief of anxiety, depression, and phobias as their true needs and experiences are being heard, clarified, and responded to. Clients of all ethnicities, races, ages, and sexual orientations are welcome and treated with respect and dignity.

Deciding to go to therapy is a difficult choice for most individuals. I try to make the therapy process as comfortable as I can, from the moment you walk through my door. I provide a safe and supportive environment where one is free to express themselves openly. I am patient, compassionate and understanding to my client's needs. Therapy can help an individual to overcome unresolved feelings, emotional pain, trauma, loss and hurt. I want to assist you in this journey towards a better "sense of self". I look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey together.

I believe in the power of therapy to heal and to bring a shift in ones perceptions. My effort is to engage the other in a cooperative process and in doing so to open all kinds of other possibilities in one's life. I have worked as a therapist for quite a few years and feel that the initial coming to the office is a difficult first step, but one that in the end will enable you to have a better quality of life.

"The best project you will ever work on is you." Therapy is an investment in yourself as well as those in your life.

I am a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist and have been in practice for more than thirty years. Bioenergetics is a mind/body therapy. I believe each of us is a unique individual - we need to be heard and deeply understood in our struggle to be ourselves and to move beyond the limitations our historical or current experiences impose on us. The Bioenergetic approach integrates verbal communication with active physical work - bodywork - which enhances the therapeutic process. I will help you to be more in touch with your feelings, more confident in your impulses, and provide you with tools to mobilize yourself toward what you most deeply desire. The therapeutic journey is profound and can lead us to places we often only dream about. Embodying ourselves leads us to stand independently in the world and allows us to know who we are and to relate to others from a more genuine, felt place. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring possibilities.

I believe therapy should be a supportive, collaborative, and emotionally safe space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Many of the women I work with are carrying significant pressure at work, in relationships, and in their personal lives while continuing to function through anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, and chronic stress. My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while developing healthier and more sustainable ways of coping with life’s challenges. Together, we explore the patterns contributing to stress, overthinking, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty slowing down while also identifying your strengths, values, and emotional needs. In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you can slow down, reflect, process what you have been carrying, and reconnect with yourself outside of constant responsibility and pressure. We work together to build healthier coping strategies, strengthen boundaries, improve emotional balance, and create a more sustainable relationship with work, relationships, and daily life. Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about helping you feel more grounded, emotionally supported, self-aware, and connected to yourself so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

I have been a clinical psychologist for over 20 years and have experience with a myriad of circumstances, diagnoses, and difficulties people face in life. I believe in establishing a safe environment in which one can freely express what they feel, think, believe, question, and share anything without worrying about judgment. Many circumstances in life have clouded one's ability to fulfill one's true potential and live life as one's best self. Together, we will gain insight into the genesis of what troubles you and work to strengthen skills and strategies to cope effectively and establish personal growth. I have a great deal of experience with many life, relationship, family, and social challenges. I use an eclectic approach with a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) background to treat adolescents and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and eating issues and their related challenges. I am interactive, direct, and fully engaging in sessions. Whether your life seems currently unmanageable and/or you feel you haven't addressed past unprocessed difficulties, I can help you. To have someone by your side, helping you manage the challenges, encouraging you to face the obstacles, and supporting you every step of the way is essential to the therapeutic process and progress. I am truly here to help!
