As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to give clients space to work through life's issues using both my tools and accessing yours.

We are an online-based counseling practice whose mission is to provide a safe environment where you can heal and transform your life. We are an affirming practice and trained in working with LGBTQ individuals and couples as well as the Kink and Polyamorous community.

Life's transitions, developmental or crisis driven, challenge you to explore your perceived limitations. With 30+ years of diversified experience my empathic, creative and collaborative approach provides the safety and strategies to recognize and expand your capacity.

"I offer solution-focused, interactive sessions assisting you in facing challenges, overcoming obstacles, coping with stress, resolving areas of conflict and improving self-esteem."

I have a private practice in Psychoanalysis and health and lifestyle counseling. I work with individuals that have physical health issues as well as anxiety and depression. Fostering lifestyle changes is also within the scope of my practice.

I specialize in helping couples overcome issues like constant fighting, infidelity, lack of intimacy, or disconnection so that they can have a stronger bond than ever before. I do this work because of my genuine desire to help couples connect and thrive in a safe space.

As a couples and individual therapist, I believe therapy should be a compassionate and collaborative process that gives you a voice. Together, I help you step over the hurdles between you and your most fulfilled and authentic life.

I'm passionate about my work; it is my vocation and avocation. In addition to my practice, I write self-help books. I have over 35 years' experience; and particular expertise in treating OCD (adults and children) and treating couples (especially intimacy issues).

I am a dedicated psychologist who believes that the success from any therapy stems from a good match between patient and therapist's personalities and between patient and treatment approach.

I believe in a flexible and pragmatic approach to change that focuses on each client's needs. My technique balances insight, active collaboration and positive exploration that integrates techniques including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, Buddhist and mindfulness

When YOU or your child are having a problem its important to have a place where issues can be explored safely. Often the key to feeling better is finding someone who can listen objectively and provide supportive feedback and professional intervention.
