Family Therapy in 10118

I view therapy as a collaborative process and the bond of trust we create is a powerful tool for healing. I work to create safety to explore challenges together with curiosity and discover creative ways to improve your life. I’m guided by a desire to help you be your most emotionally authentic self, and the healing power of a supportive therapeutic relationship for conducting sustained personal inquiry. I help individuals, families, couples, and adolescents work on communication, relationship issues and repetitive patterns in thinking and behavior.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples in their relationships. I acknowledge the impact of their relationship with their jobs, relationships with family, relationships with friends, lovers, anxieties, loneliness, and themselves. As an artist with a creative approach, I help clients understand the basics of these relationships while working together with them to reimagine and recreate those relationships in new ways. I seek to assist my clients in promoting peace, wholeness, and energy that reflects the uniqueness we all have. I would love to assist you in reimagining the way you approach challenges in your life.

It is through congruence, a genuine ability to empathize and to be compassionate, that I believe is how an organic developing therapeutic relationship manifests. My style’s core foundation revolves around a collaboration between Rogerian Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). It is with an open heart that I invite you to give yourself an opportunity at enhancing your quality of life through the process of self-discovery.

I’m an IFS therapist and coach dedicated to helping passionate professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders find their aliveness, unlock their full potential, and live with joy and purpose. I work with those among us I call the Walking Wounded. You may thrive in some areas yet you struggle to survive in the psychospiritual dimension of life. You put on a brave face day in and day out while secretly fighting battles with your inner demons. You've ticked off all the boxes and still experience no real joy, freedom, peace, or love. Your insides don’t match your outsides. That's because at the root of the suffering lies unresolved trauma.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can work to explore troubling thoughts and emotions, and begin to identify self-limiting beliefs. As you gain new insights and a greater understanding of yourself, you can start to understand the motivations behind your patterns of thinking and behavior. Self discovery and self awareness can be empowering and liberating, paving the way to making more meaningful, fulfiilling choices in your life.

I work with struggling individuals, families, and couples. Being a therapist is not for the faint of heart, yet I find that helping others improve their lives is my calling. I enjoy being that person my clients talk to about anything. My clients enjoy the judgement free zone that therapy with me entails. My approach to psychotherapy is that no matter where you’re starting from, change is possible! Change can cause uncertainty, anxiety, and confusion for many. I help my clients find the courage to start on their road to positive transformation.

Welcome to The Be Center. We are a telehealth parent-focused center dedicated to helping parents navigate the challenges of having a child or young adult who is struggling with behavioral and emotional issues. We believe parents need support in knowing WHAT and HOW to cope with, understand, and respond to the challenges that arise when a loved one is struggling with mental health. When parents feel nourished and empowered, they are able to guide their families back to wellness. How do we do this? We support parents thought parent coaching, Individual and couples therapy.

Committing to change is hard, but continuing to live unsatisfied is harder. How many times have you set your alarm earlier than normal, thinking “Tomorrow’s the day I get it together,” only to hit snooze and end up rushing out the door anyway? How many times have you had the same fight with your partner, or if you’re single, dated the same kind of person you always do? How much longer will you settle for a life you’re not really happy with? It’s one thing to know what you want to change—it’s another to know how to change it. Together, we’ll explore ways you can feel more confident, in control, & closer to the people you care about.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Most of the time it's for depression or anxiety. I work with people in the moment, and help them get out of old patterns and narratives, causing these symptoms. As William Faulkner said, "The past is not dead, it's not even past." Helping individuals develop a "new map" for their lives is my goal. The driving force in therapy, and the road to sustainable success, is to see yourself in a world that is just not about you.

Therapy is a secure and private place for you to actively learn new ways of coping. I believe the most compassionate approach to therapy is to non-judgmentally teach concrete skills that have been shown by research to work. Whether you're under a lot of stress, feeling anxious / depressed, or are struggling with accepting your body, we can work together to develop and execute a plan. Your treatment will be results-oriented. Together, we will monitor your wellbeing over time and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that we are making progress.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.
