I view therapy as a collaborative journey. While creating a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic space, I strive to help my clients on their path toward personal growth, well-being, and connection. I have a diverse training background that has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of the human experience, allowing me to customize therapeutic interventions for each client. I provide evidence-based treatment for a variety of problems, including substance use, anxiety, depression, dysfunctional relationship patterns, anger/aggression, trauma/PTSD, sexual behavioral problems, and sleep difficulties, such as insomnia.
Therapeutic Writing is appropriate for various issues and populations, and each group is centered around a particular one (e.g. adoption, grief, infertility, sexuality, etc.), so that participants share common ground. In the groups, we explore our internal experiences through short writing exercises, complemented by optional sharing and discussion (reading aloud and submitting your writing are not required). Limited to 12 participants, groups are either one-time or series, typically 2-3 hours per meeting. If you might like to participate in a future group, please contact me with what issues you'd be interested in exploring through Therapeutic Writing.

Do you often find the voice of your inner critic to be louder than your own? Are you feeling disconnected from the person you "once" were? As we go through life, our self worth and sense of direction is frequently challenged, leaving us feeling anxious, stressed and lost. The pressure to live up to expectations of being the perfect partner, parent, child, friend or employee, often causes us to lose sight of our strengths and holds us back. Through our therapeutic work, I aim to help each person rediscover themselves, and grow a sense of self compassion to create long lasting changes!

You will be able to apply what you learn each week with family and friends, have a chance to assess how you're doing, and ask questions. My goal is to ensure that you have an educational and relevant learning experience. Please visit my website www.villageparenting.nyc
