I have always viewed the therapeutic process to be that of taking time for ourselves - to slow down the chaos around you and that you may be feeling within yourself. Understanding our behavior, our reaction to provocations and learning how to think before we react to feelings is critical. Therapy allows us to develop or cultivate a truer understanding of who we are and how we got here. I can help you with creating a deeper sense of self, improve your coping skills, self-esteem and decrease the anxiety you may be experiencing. I have 20+ years experience as a Licensed Psychotherapist. My treatment modalities are eclectic - finding the best therapeutic approach for individuals - ranging from crisis intervention to pragmatic, supportive role. I incorporate cognitive behavioral approaches, psychoanalytical and a mind/body connection. The study of neuroscience holds many answers to assisting us in gaining control of ourselves. I have extensive experience working with adolescence and families as a High School Social Worker for the past two decades. I also have significant experience working with couples, as a subsystem of the larger family group.
