I knew I wanted to be a psychologist since early high school
I went straight to graduate school at the University of Michigan (Clinical Psychology) after majoring in Psychology (and French and Italian) at Sarah Lawrence College. After graduate school, I did a two year fellowship at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center (now New York Presbyterian), Westchester Division.)
I have worked with adults and children, in inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, community mental health, a children’s rehabilitation hospital, residential treatment, and private practice (exclusively since 1994.)
Besides being a therapist, I have always done psychological and neuropsychological evaluations (because I like helping people know their cognitive and learning styles, key to success in life.)
My spiritual awakening
In 1998 I had my spiritual awakening. I had some “weird” physical symptoms and had a revelation that the only way I was going to really heal was to go to another level that somehow involved spirituality and groups.
My awakening involved exploring energy and consciousness with various types of spiritual experiences (including meditation retreats and workshops), trying new types of energy healing, and opening to new levels of consciousness (including evolutionary consciousness.)
Professionally, I trained in Core Energetics, NeurOptimal Neurofeedback, Vortex Healing, Soul Plan Reading, Soul Realignment, and EMDR. (I am fully certified in Core Energetics, NeurOptimal, Soul Plan and Soul Realignment.)
I am more than halfway through the Vortex Healing trademark Divine Healing Energy class sequence….in progress. In addition, I am a Certified TeleHealth Practitioner.
Highlights from my own Soul Plan Reading
My Soul Plan reading verified my sense that the “only way I was going to heal was with spirituality and groups.” When I had my Reading, I discovered that I had the same numbers in my Worldly Challenges and Spiritual Talents areas: 7-7.
My Worldly Challenges 7-7 involved a desire to keep apart from the world (due to sensitivity) and my Spiritual Talents 7-7 include being a catalytic, open hearted, versatile, and adaptive person, in deep connection with the world and its people!
My Worldly Goals 10-1 include being a healer, having multiple spiritual abilities, and being service oriented. My Spiritual Goals 12-3 include being here to serve the Divine and using my teaching and expressive abilities to do so.
And my Soul Destiny 14-5 includes fully developing my natural holistic intelligence, developing my intuition, and being inspiring to you by mirroring back to you who you really are!

Yes I do offer Traditional Therapy. This is Talk Therapy and usually is for people who are new to therapy or only want to work on a specific issue for a shorter period of time, but I am open to exploring what your interests and needs are.
Yes, I do Telehealth!
Over years of initial research, Telehealth has been shown to be highly effective. During the times of mandated stay-at-home, it is the safest way to do therapy! I do Telehealth by phone, FaceTime, Zoom, and a therapy video service called Doxyme.
Not all of A Complete Therapy can be done via Telehealth but a good portion of it can.
We can do: Talk Therapy, Energy Healing, Spirituality, Soul level techniques, and Evolutionary Energetics. We can do components of Body Therapy and EMDR, remotely.
During the pandemic, we cannot do Neurofeedback in my office, but you could buy a Personal Home Neurofeedback system (and I can guide you through using it and help you incorporate its effects into your personal growth process.)
A More Complete Therapy is a private pay therapy — the fee is $250 per 60-minute session.
Most Complete Therapy sessions include Talk Therapy, Body Therapy, Energy Healing, NeurOptimal Neurofeedback, and Soul Plan Reading.
- EMDR sessions are often 90 minutes long ($300) but can also be done in 60-minute sessions ($250.)
- The fee for Soul Realignment readings by themselves is $600 but when done as part of a Complete Therapy Experience it is $250 (for the reading, clearing, and paper work) in addition to the $250 reporting session (90 minutes.) [During the times of the pandemic crisis, reduced rates are available.]
It is possible to come for my separate modalities, and not therapy:
- If you come for just EMDR and not Complete Therapy, the fee is $250 for the 60 minute session and $300 for the 90 minute session.
- If you come for Neurofeedback (and not therapy) the fee $200 per session or $150 per session when you buy a package of 10.
- A Soul Plan Reading by itself (without therapy) is $400 and is a 90 minute reading.
- A Soul Realignment Reading by itself (without therapy) is $600, and involves the practitioner doing the clearing separately from the feedback/reporting session (which takes 90 minutes.)
Yes.
I accept insurance for traditional Talk Therapy sessions. (They can include some meditation, breathing, relaxation techniques as they are also covered by insurance.) These sessions are 45 minutes. I am on most major insurance panels, including Aetna, Cigna, Emblem, United Health Care, Medicare, etc.
