G.A.T.E. helps youths through role play and tabletop games to build skills that are developed within their therapy session. Our goal is to build up our youths and through them, their friends, family, and communities. Our game-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) groups are separated by chronological age/developmental age, diagnosis, interests, and goals. Clinicians and their assistants will be working together to aid youths using role-playing, collaborative, and/or co-creative play. Less intense social skills groups are available, and rates vary based on social skills groups, group counseling sessions, and youth's needs.

Group meets in Edison, NJ 08837
I specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Depression, and Trauma. As a member of the Association for Play Therapy, I look for ways to include playfulness in treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, family, and group therapy services. Together, we look to develop goals that connect the person inward with their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body—at the same time, looking at how they connect socially with the world around them. To help to have a better relationship with themselves and others.
This group is for women in interracial relationships (dating, living together, or married). The goal is to provide support to those who are dealing with challenges related to having a relationship with someone who is outside of their race, to have a safe space to process and normalize their experiences, and provide support to one another. Each session will explore different areas that have proven to be difficult for interracial couples including: family/friends/general public approval, acceptance and support, differences in cultures/values, raising bi-racial children, etc. The group will run every other week for one hour.

If painful experiences were met with confusing or anxious responses from others or described in manners that did not respond to emotional needs, then a child or individual would likely cope with difficulties by disconnecting from the threatening emotional meanings. We need another at times, or search for a healing process. If you have been struggling with strong feelings or a particular situation, it is time to get help. You can find the way through fears, loss or other struggles. I am here to support you through your struggles, through personal hardships, finding truths or make sense of confusion in your mind or life.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

If you are worried you may have a problem with alcohol, drugs, food addiction, gambling, or sexual imagery (porn), or just want to break self-destructive habits and develop better ones, email me and we can schedule a phone call (free of charge) to talk about our work. When we understand what is happening in our brain, and how we can expect to heal, we see hope. Though addiction of any kind is painful, it is manageable; we can be free. By learning to identify the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may be holding us back, we can begin to let go of the bad, including trauma, and allow room for the good stuff.
