As an artist and art psychotherapist, I have found creativity to be a key in getting to possibilities and an expanded outlook. Working with children and adults has taught me that there is a way to access this in conversation and/or through creative arts therapies, such as art or writing. It is a rewarding experience to tap into one's inner resources and awaken the sources of active imagination for experiencing life in one's own unique form. My approach in therapy is client-centered and relationally based.

I see children age 2-4 in dyadic treatment, as well as, 4-13 years in play therapy.
Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned in popular media but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain, wrought by a personal history that can sometimes only come alive when spoken to a professional listening other. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. I see my work as bringing my clients closer to that possibility. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.

I also work with children in play therapy.
I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I am active in my work; I clarify for each person what is important to her. My orientation is psychodynamic; I explore past history connected to the present and open the possibility of finding out who you are, how you arrived here, and where you are going. Crises in development and transition are important, opportunities for change. These are good moments to enter therapy. Times of depletion or feeling stuck are also important moments to initiate change. I'm here to help. It is important that you feel I understand you correctly, as you see yourself.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in 10014 provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in 10014 build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
