I believe people have the inherent capacity to heal and grow. To support this change, I provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and collaborative therapeutic space. I will work with you to tap into your strengths, gain insight into behaviors that might currently feel stuck or confusing, and learn skills to empower you to effectively deal with stress and emotional ups and downs. My approach is tailored to your specific goals and circumstances, and typically includes a mixture of traditional “talk” therapy with mindfulness, somatic, and trauma-informed practices. I am committed to an anti-oppressive, inclusive approach that welcomes all experiences. I am licensed to provide telehealth in NY, GA, and FL. I also provide in-person sessions in GA.

I believe in the transformative potential of virtual reality and technology as a tool for mental health and personal growth.

I invite you to embark on this exciting and transformative experience with me, where the virtual realm becomes a gateway to healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

As a clinical psychologist, I assist clients to address issues that are difficult to confront alone. I encourage self-reflection, help clients gain a clearer understanding of their life experiences and bring awareness to patterns of relating that are interfering with living a satisfying life. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic; it promotes self-exploration and gaining insight, along with productive behavior change. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions and offering ideas. I approach therapy as a collaborative process with the intention of reducing suffering, increasing self-understanding, and cultivating deeper and more compassionate relationships. I specialize in addressing chronic trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss, and relationship difficulties.

I believe that the foundation to effective and meaningful therapeutic work lies in the mutual building of a safe and trusting relationship in which the client feels valued, respected, and understood. Seeking therapeutic support requires a significant amount of courage. I take this seriously and feel deeply honored to be trusted to do this work and to witness the growth of those I serve. I value an inclusive and neurodiversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I have ample experience working with people from varying socioeconomic, cultural and racial backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

I am doing Tele-health sessions at this time. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, trauma, or sexual orientation, and you are ready to make a change in your life, I would be glad to hear from you. As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives. My approach is one of respect and warmth, and attention to the dignity of every person. Many of my clients have gone through traumatic or disorienting experiences, and struggle with depression, anxiety, or other debilitating emotional problems. Too often, we feel alone; and that our voices are not heard. I am here to guide you on your journey. You are not alone.

Life is about transitions! I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with adjustment to college, women’s issues, grief, body image, trauma, aging parents, chronic pain, depression and anxiety. I work within a feminist lens, using a health at every size and trauma-informed approach. I’m happy to do a free consultation with you so that you get to ask any questions and can see if I may be a good match for you.

I work with individuals seeking to enhance their opportunities for growth in professional, and personal arenas, as well as with those currently struggling through emotional and mental challenges. Techniques include Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness Techniques for Individuals and Couples. I offer appointments via Telehealth only.

You are the person that people often describe as intelligent, resourceful, humorous, well-liked, talented; an individual that accomplishes whatever they set out to do. You strive to excel at whatever you take on & some may even call you a perfectionist. You can't seem to understand why, or how, you continue to feel stuck, overwhelmed, tense, or perhaps, even sad or hopeless. The facts suggest you possess many of the positive qualities others seem to admire, and from afar, you appear to be someone that seemingly has it all! So why do you continue to struggle in your relationships, work or interests? Why don't you feel "enough?" To wake each day with the ability to say, “I am enough” & to actually believe it...THAT would be incredible! Managing or alleviating feelings of anxiety, depression &/or self-doubt, would be a freedom you've not felt in a long time. Being able to smile more & be more vulnerable in your relationships and life choices sounds like a dream come true! As your therapist I will help you identify the factors that interfere with you becoming your best self. We will work as a team to develop life strategies that work for YOU so you can better manage it all. I offer online, video therapy via a secure, HIPAA compliant platform, to individuals in New York State. If you think we may be a good fit please contact me for a free consultation.
