Change and growth are often preceded by some difficulty, personally, professionally or in relationship. I congratulate your willingness to get support in overcoming the challenges you are facing. My intention is to assist you in living from genuine strength and authenticity. I will help you resolve problems and achieve happiness. In our work together, you will discover that difficulties and obstacles in life are often blessings for in reality we grow through adversity. This process of growth liberates energy bound in unresolved issues, so that energy can be used to create a life of your own design. I employ a learning paradigm. A learning paradigm does not presume anything wrong with you -- it simply presents things you can learn to make your life more easeful and productive. I utilize a spiritual psychological approach that is based on the understanding that our true essence is spiritual and that our body, mind and emotions are vehicles for spiritual expression. This essence is present in every moment and we have the opportunity to connect with and respond to its guidance. You will discover that every psychological limitation or difficulty provides a special kind of opportunity -- to see where you have lost touch with essential aspects of your being and to recover these lost parts of yourself. Once recovered these energies can be directed toward creating a life that is rich and satisfying. Reach out if you are interested in exploring possibility beyond what you currently can imagine, to actualize a more joyful, peaceful life. NOTE: I am an out-of-network provider. I do not take any insurance.

I provide individual, couples and group psychotherapy. Although I have worked with many clients with varying issues, my specialties include issues of loss and bereavement, life-threatening illnesses (such as cancer), depression, anxiety and fertility issues. I have particular interest in working with suicide survivors (individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide), families dealing with grief and loss, cancer patients, young adults dealing with illness, couples dealing with fertility issues. Since much of my focus is grief and loss issues, I have the most experience with clients that are in great distress. I strive to concentrate on the present, focus on the future and explore the past to understand current behaviors and coping. I create a safe place where clients can focus on their goals and acquire more coping tools to adjust to life changes.

I help people who want to wake up feeling excited to start each new day.

I respect that each client presents with a unique set of strengths and challenges, thus counseling is tailored to meet your own needs and goals. Most of us are pulled in so many different directions these days. You may think "I am a strong person. I should be able to manage this myself." I believe even the strongest people can benefit from a caring, unbiased ear to help get them where they really want to be. Whether you are going through a difficult time, want to explore why you continue with the same unsuccessful patterns of behavior, or need guidance in parenting, take the first step toward a joyful tomorrow; contact me today!

Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Anxious? Having trouble coping? Whether you are an adult feeling unfulfilled, inadequate, powerless, etc., or you have a child who is struggling and needs help, I understand that asking for help can be very hard. The prospect of choosing a therapist can be even more overwhelming, but it is critical that you feel comfortable and at ease with your therapist so that you can be as open and honest as possible. My style is casual, friendly and compassionate. My clients say that I create an atmosphere in which they feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients, so that together we can create a plan to address your concerns.

I approach my patients with quiet confidence, intelligence, respect, and concern. My job is to help you determine quickly if we are a good match and tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs. While therapy is a collaborative effort, I am frequently able to uncover repetitive patterns of self-defeating behavior rapidly. it is usually possible to give new patients a sense of direction and reason to believe in the possibility of a better future. I am expert in both cognitive/behavioral and psychodynamic forms of treatment. I also employ mindfulness-based practices when appropriate. Trained at Northwestern University, I was named the "featured therapist" of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. My therapeutic approach varies depending upon what you need. One size doesn't fit all. Some people need a more supportive approach (to get over grief, for example). Others need a more active approach to allow their core beliefs about what is important in life to become consistent with how they lead their life. Ultimately, for all of us, this is a path that creates the greatest possibility of fulfillment. Life's journey requires us all to keep learning along the way. While therapy needn't be life long, being open to change is essential. New situations, in work or relationships or just in the form of getting older, challenge us to find new solutions. Therapy can be a place to start. If you'd like to find out more about me, a good place to start is my blog.

It takes courage to realize you're struggling. Even though you've been trying to help yourself feel better, you're still struggling. You deserve to feel better. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma, frustrated with a relationship, gambling a lot, feeling stuck and uncertain, or wonder how much longer you can keep it together, I'd be glad to help you get to a place of feeling better. We all need and deserve to have someone to talk to about the toughest and most painful parts of our lives. Life often can be incredibly difficult. It's good to know we don't have to deal with it alone. For the past two decades I've helped adults and couples: 1) Reduce their stress, anxiety, depression, and effects from trauma 2) Accept and cope with chronic pain and chronic illness 3) Reduce & recover from problem gambling 4) Develop greater connections while addressing conflicts, unhelpful patterns, intimacy issues, and relationship stressors. You don't have to feel alone nor do you need suffer any longer. If you're ready to make a change so you can feel better and create the life you want and deserve to have, it'd be my honor to help. Therapy is an investment in your well-being, growth, health, and happiness. I encourage you to take the next step by reaching out and contacting me. Let's begin!

During the first twenty-five years of our lives, we go through vast growth and change. With each age and developmental stage, we are faced with unique stressors and challenges. Sometimes we master these challenges and changes, and sometimes we experience difficulty or obstacles and can’t figure out the best direction for us to take or how to navigate moving forward. When this happens, it’s a sign that we can benefit from and may need some help and support. Whether you’re having difficulty mastering social anxiety, figuring out friendships and relationships, handling all the pressures on your shoulders, navigating “adulting” or the teenage years, struggling with self esteem, liking yourself, or managing depression, anxiety, or uncomfortable feelings, therapy can help. Therapy is a place where you can take the time and have the space to focus on yourself when life becomes difficult. In the beginning of therapy, our first task will to be building a relationship. We will be new to each other, so it will take some time for you to trust, feel comfortable, and secure with me. When that happens, we will begin to form a kind of team so we can collaborate together to help you with what you’re struggling with. Most importantly, I want to create a comfortable, secure, and trusting space and environment for you. One goal of mine is to help you begin to feel that when we meet you are in a space absent of judgement and instead filled with acceptance, compassion, and support.. I’m a good listener, so I will certainly be listening while you share more about yourself. I always want the individuals I work with to feel supported enough to voice their concerns, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and hopes. Our first session will include you sharing some details of your life, including what is happening in your life that led you to seek supportive therapy. I will also inquire as to what you hope to work on, what you value in life, what you would like to change, what you imagine your life may look like, and what you may feel once you are there. We will want to gather an idea and direction of what you strive to think, believe, feel, and experience, and what you want to be doing in your life once you meet your goals. We will work together to develop an understanding of the areas you are struggling with along with identifying your strengths. Then we will create a few initial goals we can work on together that will help you begin to feel better. I believe that it is necessary to work together to figure out these goals in order to form a clear picture of where you want to get to in order to begin seeing change within yourself and within your life. Determining together what you need and want will be a continuous process, and it will guide our work — it will help you move forward to get to where you want to be.

I believe that we all have our own answers inside of us, and that sometimes we need a listening ear, or some additional support to figure out how we want our lives to be different and more satisfying. As an excellent listener, and one who is empathic and understanding, I have helped many clients achieve their own respective goals in life. I have been working in private practice for over 20 years, and have a lot of experience working with clients presenting with many different life problems. I see adults, teens, and children, in individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. Some of my areas of expertise include depression, relationship issues, parenting issues, grief, adjustment difficulties, job stress, etc. I have a particular area of expertise working with incest survivors, and actually all adult survivors from troubled childhoods. I am EMDR trained, and also use cognitive behavioral therapy in my approach to clients, though I tend to be mostly psychodynamic. I welcome the opportunity to consult with any clients who may be interested in seeking counseling!

“I value the human heart, soul, and spirit. I am a seasoned psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I am aware that we all experience times of darkness, and deep sorrow. We all experience anxiety, and struggle with certain life transitions. We heal by way of sharing our stories, feelings, and experiences.

I will listen with a compassionate heart, and I have a genuine interest in each person that I work with. As you consider therapy, know that feelings of sadness, anxiety, shame, guilt, emptiness, longing, and confusion, are experienced by everyone.

Raising kids is one of the most important jobs in the world. Parenting can be a lot of fun and challenging at the same time. Kids are often faced with issues that are overwhelming, frustrating and at times even hopeless. Some of them do not respond in the most positive ways. Parents have difficulty understanding why their best efforts sometimes don’t stop their kids from making poor choices, being depressed or decreasing anxiety. Through counseling I attempt to assist parents with their child or adolescent in identifying issues, overcoming challenges, and bridging gaps between them and their child. Counseling can help children and teens develop problem-solving skills and also teach them the importance of seeking help. I can help children, teens and families cope with stress and a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. Many children and teens need help dealing with school stress, such as homework, test anxiety, bullying, or peer pressure. Others need assistance to discuss family related stress such as divorce, death or illness. With a little assistance “The Sky’s The Limit!” Kids of all ages enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of my office. I use a variety of techniques when working with children and adolescents to initially establish a trusting relationship. Some techniques I utilize are play therapy, art therapy, behavior modification, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), role-playing, modeling, feeling identification, choice therapy and anger management.

Are you ready to take that step that leads to better living? Has life let you down? Are you looking for a passion and meaning? If you are trying to figure out where to go next or trying to get over a broken relationship I may be the therapist for you. If you are or are parenting a pre-teen or teen struggling with all that comes with adolescence, I can help you. I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental setting to encourage sharing and growth. Flexible days and hours available. Whether you are on a traditional, non-traditional or way off the beaten path, I can hold hope for you and help you make positive changes.

I believe in the power of the healing relationship between therapist and client, where we strive to be self-aware, honest and real. My office provides a comfortable atmosphere where I am non-judgmental in my approach. My mission is to help improve my clients' lives by focusing on their strengths to create a healthy difference that is long lasting. There are times when a loss or life change brings many feelings, including the discomfort of anxiety and a feeling of low energy. If events in your life have caused you to question even your most basic decisions, if you are feeling sad, depressed, stressed, or think you may need help for yourself or your relationships, please call me right away. The sooner you get help, the sooner your healing can begin. The drama of everyday life sometimes overwhelms our coping skills and leaves us feeling broken and confused. When times get tough, it is hard to know who to trust and where to turn. The ability to find a safe place to reflect, to connect genuinely, to create meaning, to be tested, to give voice to pain, and get sturdy answers to sticky questions is not easily found. Too many times, this human drama makes us feel trapped, isolated and deprived and leaves us puzzled and afraid. My approach involves finding your true voice and strengthening personal power, identifying emotional triggers, challenging your inner critic, finding perspective, enhancing your emotional vocabulary, learning to take risks, fail safely and grow. My belief about couple relationships is that two people come together in friendship and love to gain a greater measure of happiness. All individuals in a relationship are responsible for creating the discord as well as the harmony in their relationship, and each person can grow as a result of loving one another. The focus of work is on the strengths of the family or couple, improving communication, and an invitation to each person to participate, address, and change what prevents the relationship from moving toward a more loving and healthy relationship. Couples will learn how to strengthen their marriage by learning to create safety, build trust, tell the deep truth, and intentionally reconnect. By doing so, they'll become more confident and skillful at dealing with those troubling moments that too often make intimacy impossible and destroy the very glue that holds people together.
