  • Anxiety can manifest in various ways, often without reaching the threshold of a disorder. Many traits associated with anxiety, such as being detail-oriented, goal-driven, and conscientious, can be highly beneficial. As a result, adults may not realize how these characteristics help them avoid feelings of uncertainty, discomfort, and worry.

    My specialized training in psychodynamic interventions enables me to help clients identify, understand, and consider how these tendencies affect relationships with themselves and others. 

  • The impact of an extramarital affair can cause PTSD-like symptoms and can be very difficult to overcome. After the discovery or disclosure of an affair, couples often need guidance and mediation to have conversations about trust, retribution, the “right to know” details, and the “why” of it all.

    My specialized training in Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and conflict resolution, enables me to help couples:

    1. Manage the crisis period following the discovery

    2. Understand why the affair occurred

    3. Help couples move forward — together or apart

  • The work culture within startups, the practicalities and demands of co-founders, and the stress involved in producing a MVP or achieving an IPO make business disagreements and conflict among co-founders inevitable.

    Cofounders must develop emotional and relational skills to address business concerns effectively. These skills are crucial for maintaining the respect and trust necessary to run a successful business.

    My experience in the startup world with my specialized training in conflict resolution and Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy gives me a unique ability to help co-founders:

    1. Gain clarity regarding the emotional underpinnings of their business disagreements

    2. Accurately identify and discern the importance of their business concerns.

    3. Teach behavioral and emotional techniques needed to de-escalate high conflict within the business partnership 

  • Adults and children who have experienced sexual abuse, dating violence, stalking, and bullying often have difficulty articulating their emotional and relational needs, establishing trust, and forming secure attachments with others.

    This can manifest as reluctance to seek help, challenges in setting healthy boundaries, and a tendency to self-isolate when in crisis or distress.

    I have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy along with relational interventions to help clients reduce Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, regain agency, and rebuild relational trust. I collaborate with each client to ensure that we meet personal goals through treatment.
