If there ever was a good time to "do" you, this is it. Research documents that social connection and emotional wellbeing play an important role in staving off recurrence and even reversing physical illness - said another way, your mental state can work both for or against your physical health. People come to see me to unpack emotions that've been weighing them down sometimes for years as well as to deal with the uncertainty they're feeling in the present. Perhaps this includes discovering a sense of purpose that has eluded them till now. I don’t just work to help people get out of pain: I work to help them thrive.

This ongoing psychotherapy group draws upon an anti-diet, intuitive eating perspective to help women heal their relationship with food, and understand the meaning of their eating behaviors and feelings about their bodies. Members are helped to be mindful in their eating experiences and to connect to their bodies for guidance about how to feed themselves. This group is grounded in an awareness of the social pressures that encourage women to live in disharmony with their bodies, and in response supports members to stand against the grain of culturally sanctioned hypervigilance about food and body, and the self-contempt that typically accompanies these practices.

Everyone deserves to have an emotional education. Self-awareness and self-understanding are powerful tools, used constructively are transformative. Can you imagine feeling empowered, feeling positive rather than consumed by depression, anxiety and self-doubt. Living life is not simple, relationships can be strained and conflicts occur at home, at school, at work and in social groups.

This is a psychotherapy group focusing on the unique issues faced by adult children of divorce. Divorce can be devastating whether experienced by children or adults, but an adult child can have his or her sense of identity shaken in profound ways. In addition, having an adult understanding of the complexity of adult relationships can further complicate the emotional experience.. The group provides a supportive atmosphere to discuss how divorce has effected the present and their perception of the past.

Thank you for viewing my page. Are experiences from past relationships seeping into your present? Does your family history impact your ability to trust? I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist, and I help individuals and couples find greater fulfillment in their interpersonal relationships. We are inherently social creatures who long for meaningful relationships. Relationship problems can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, even hopelessness. Together we will explore how patterns of thinking and feeling about yourself can shift into a more satisfying experience. Our aim is not to dwell in the past, but to understand how it informs the present.
In this warm, supportive, and engaging group, members come to explore their patterns of interpersonal strengths and challenges. Those who seek this form of treatment wish to relate better to others and to feel better about themselves. They might also join a group to explore the magic of creating and maintaining close, and meaningful relationships, learn to communicate clearly and with greater ease, and practice communicating thoughts, feelings, and needs directly. Open to NY, NJ, and CT residents. The group meets online for most sessions and meets in person once a month, typically on the last Tuesday of the month.

Having OCD or anxiety can make make every day tasks seem nearly impossible. It can sap you of your energy and ability to enjoy the things you love. On top of that, you likely have harsh judgements about having anxiety, leading to frustration and sadness. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past but nothing seems to stick. Having worked with so many people who have suffered with these conditions, I hear and feel what you are going through. I have dedicated my career to helping you understand your anxiety and build the skills to address it.
Through our interactions with others, we experience different interpersonal connections, which can be harmful or positive. Varied emotional states can disrupt mental processing and create potential for misinterpreting information. These miscommunications hinder our ability to maintain relationships, foster deeper connections, and limit our identity and growth. We utilize group dynamics to explicitly discuss our emotional and cognitive processes, allowing the group members to take a curious stance to understand encounters flexibly.

Are you a creative person? Do you find yourself wanting a way to feel better about your life? Are you skeptical about therapy? Are you dreading the idea of dredging up the past or talking about the addiction that hasn't worked positively in your life? Focusing on what you want rather than what you don't want is more productive in the few sessions alotted by insurance companies these days. I believe you can be where you want in less time through a process of self exploration that facilitates and supports movement towards your true desires for creative expansion.

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, eating disorders, career concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, my clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.
