She helps individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional and behavioral challenges with clarity and compassion, offering therapy tailored to children, adolescents, teens, and adults, including older adults. Her work emphasizes practical strategies and meaningful insight to support lasting change. Dr. Goldman specializes in anxiety, ADHD, and depression, integrating approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She works collaboratively with clients to better understand patterns, build coping skills, and improve overall well-being. Her experience spans individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy, allowing her to support clients through a wide range of concerns and life stages. She is particularly passionate about working with trauma and PTSD, grief, and major life transitions, including midlife and later life changes. Dr. Goldman brings sensitivity and depth to these areas, helping clients process difficult experiences, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. She also offers psychological testing as part of a comprehensive approach to care. Dr. Goldman has experience supporting diverse populations, including individuals in adoption and foster care, those on the autism spectrum, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, among others. She strives to create an inclusive, affirming environment where each person feels understood and respected. Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Goldman enjoys spending time with her dogs, practicing yoga, and exploring nature through biking and swimming. She also finds inspiration in poetry, reading, meditation, music, art, theater, and film, all of which deepen her appreciation for the human experience and inform her empathetic approach to care.
