About me

You can feel better. Your life can become happier, your relationships more enjoyable. You can begin to feel a purpose in the reality of this challenging world.

I have seen in 30 years of experience people begin to love themselves, and experience the joy of loving others. One of my goals was to work with the Life Span--and I have seen people from 2 to 96! Many people feel unlovable and think no one really understands them. I can listen without judgment. You can tell me your experiences and your feelings. Maybe you feel disappointed or abandoned in life or confused about your direction. Someone may have hurt you. Maybe you are having family problems. You may feel anxious or depressed. Teaching simple and practical tools can help. Taking the time to just talk about your experiences and feelings is so important. Everyone needs to be heard with empathy and to feel that their lives and struggles are heard. There is no problem too big or too small. Before I became a therapist, there were so many different jobs to learn from--office work to factory work--from restaurant work to cleaning houses, to selling hot dogs at the baseball stadium!-- from teaching to copywriting to becoming a Department Head of Social Service in a health care facility, my varied work experience gave me a window into the stressors men and women face on the job. Doing my own work in therapy, required of every student in my graduate school, really transformed my life. It would be a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of your work.

Eileen is absolutely amazing and professional

Written on Nov 19, 2024 after therapy with Eileen for 5 months on issues concerning eating disorders

Eileen is very compassionate, very knowledgable and uses many forms of therapy combined to best help you. She tells me she is proud of my growth and truly seems to see me differently than other people by allowing me to fully be myself and be vulnerable but not victimized in session. My daily anxiety has reduced to 1/10th of what it was when i started with eileen, and my emotional coping skills have improved, leading to improvements in my relationships and self esteem. I am very lucky to have been matched with the therapist I did.

Eileen is awesome. She’s very supportive and always brings the right kind of energy to our sessions. She’s on time and will stay on a little late if you need the extra support. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help or better their lives.
