We want to help you connect with a therapist who speaks French. We know finding a therapist you connect with isn’t an easy task. We know this is even more difficult when language barriers are present. Use our therapist directory to locate a therapist near you that speaks French. Bilingual counselors exist and we want to help you find one that speaks your native language.
How you feel today is important to me. Many people coming to therapy believe that something is missing. It might be love, understanding, support, meaning, a sense of purpose, lack of control, a job, or a partner. Therapy can help. I would be honored to guide you through a self-empowering journey that could help you enable the changes you would like to achieve in your personal life or within you...
** Now Taking New Clients*** In our work together, we will explore ways that limiting beliefs and unresolved feelings from past experiences may be barriers to you creating the fulfilling life that you want. We will explore approaches that will enhance your ability to identify and be present with your thoughts and feelings. Learning to "be with" the emotions present may just be the unexpected ke...
Are you trying to make changes in yourself, your work, your education, or your relationships? Do you have an adolescent or emerging adult who is struggling? Maybe the problem is clear but the solution feels out of reach. Or maybe it’s not quite clear what is out of kilter, but you or they sense change is necessary. Even if there is no owner's manual for change, my life experience as a...
WHATEVER YOU DO, CALL ME! I have over 14 years of experience as a therapist, and I attended one of the best graduate programs in the United States (at USC) on an academic assistantship and graduated in the top 10% of my class. I am very serious about what I do! I also did additional coursework for a Nevada license at UNLV. While I see both men and women in my practice, if you are a man, you wil...
I believe most of us find ourselves overwhelmed or struggling at some time in our lives. During those times it can be helpful to talk to someone who is encouraging, accepting and understanding of life's challenges. Therapy provides a private, safe, collaborative and warm environment to better understand and navigate difficult transitions or relationships. This journey becomes individualized bas...
Overwhelmed by stress? Stress can be positive, motivating you to perform well. But chronic stress may cause irritability, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue. Having trouble getting along with others at work, school, or home? I can help you increase your resilience and improve your relationships. With skills and experience in trauma healing, I treat a variety of conditions, including depressi...
I have come to understand that one size does not fit all. I am theoretically psychoanalytic but technically eclectic. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, chronic pain, addictions, anxiety and codependency with the goal of healing the client's relationship within themselves and with others and work through past hurt and anger. If you have been hurt or feel isolated, alone or stuck in the sa...
I welcome you to my practice and want you to know that over many years, I have worked with clients who have suffered from a great variety of issues and who have recovered hope and been able to successfully 'reset' their lives. My clients often feel stuck initially due to possible ADHD, depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disorders, or other addictions, or some combination...
I have 30+ years experience taking care of patients in crisis and helping people with emotional concerns. My practice primarily involves adults who are struggling with relationship issues, work problems, anxiety, depression, or just a vague sense that something is wrong or missing in their lives. Many patients started treatment feeling unmotivated, empty, or cut off from their emotional life. I...
There are times in our life where we reach a point when we realize something may not be manageable anymore or has gotten bigger than we expected but you are here and you are taking the steps to implement change. Coming into a therapy session provides a safe space to explore this and challenge yourself to identify what is going on and how we can work together to accomplish that. We are a group...
A few years ago I read a joke: "Fish don't know they're in the water". The scenario is that Fish Number One asks Fish Number Two, "How's the water?" Fish Number Two responds, "What the hell is water?". The fish who is "in" the situation (hence the water) does not even realize its surrounding. Second what surrounds you is only normal because it's what you know. I got another one that I recently...
You doubt that you deserve to be happy. You doubt you are worthy of being loved. You believe you are broken beyond repair. You're constantly doing things you are "supposed to" and follow the rules, yet you don't know what you want. You're unsure what brings joy into your life. You're afraid that if you follow your intuition and express yourself authentically, people will reject and abandon you....
As a seasoned counseling psychologist, I have found that you "can't heal what you don't feel" and that most emotional difficulties stem from difficult experiences and relationships earlier in life. Helping you understand how your past experiences result in current struggles is a pivotal part of the help I offer. Additionally, I will provide you with tools such as mindfulness, symptom-based copi...
Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball when we least expect it. It could be the death of a loved one, the loss of a dream, illness or the break up of a longtime relationship, which momentarily makes us lose our footing. Together we can explore both the pain and the strength that it takes to get back on track. One of my passions is working with people who are searching to believe in themselves...
Therapy is a gift. Its power is rooted in our ancestry, biology, and deep capacities to relate to one another. It isn't something scientists devised in a laboratory. It's a natural process we each have the right to enjoy by simple virtue of being human. I specialize in helping you disconnect from unreliable sources of approval and worth (evident in problems with eating, exercising, anger, stres...
