Family Therapy in 11242
My work focuses on how one's family dynamics and past are affecting one's current life.
Through both my psychoanalytic training and my training as a creative arts therapist, I treat each person as an individual and we come up with a treatment plan together. My patients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, identity formation, trauma, and attachment issues. My view of therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to help you increase your self-esteem, have a greater understanding of yourself, and be able to have healthy and long-lasting friendships and romantic relationships.

Two of my passions are working with the LGBTQQIA+ community and also doing relationship and family work.
All people have the capacity to face challenges and respond to difficult times and feelings. If you suffer with ruminations, depression, anxiety, or even that nagging voice that says that you aren't "good enough," I can help you find happiness and peace. I have an integrative style that combines various forms of behavioral therapies, including CBT and ACT. I love helping patients use mindfulness to help create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Do you have a challenging relationship with someone you care about? Maybe your parents, your spouse or any other family member? Sometimes our closest relationships can be the most difficult ones to navigate. Your future depends on what you do now.

For over 22 years my career has included psychotherapy with individuals and families throughout the social spectrum, from those exploring their lives and identities, to those with acute symptomology including in and out-patient behavioral health systems, addiction treatment and family based social services.
Come as you are. Psychotherapy is a safe and private place to explore the issues preventing you from living a more productive, meaningful, happier life. I'm aware that it takes an incredible amount of courage to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. My approach is person-centered, empathic and flexible, meeting clients where they are in their lives and helping them to identify and work on areas they would like to change or explore. I utilize supportive, mindfulness based and existential therapies with some use of CBT and thoughtfully inserted levity.

Every aspect of you came into existence to try to protect you; using Internal Family Systems (and other non-judgemental methods) we can get to know each part of you and how to help them.
You’ve got everything under control, except for when everything falls apart. It can feel debilitating to work so hard to keep your life on track and then feel overwhelmed by fear or shame or anger at a moment’s notice. You double down on trying to control it but it never seems to be possible and you’re worried that the life you’ve carefully built won’t be able to withstand more bumps. You know your stuff, you /understand/ what you should be doing but you can’t seem to get there and you feel stuck and embarrassed. Repeat repeat.

Using methods like Internal Family Systems (a therapeutic approach focusing on inner conflicts) and Somatic Experiencing (a mind-body approach addressing trauma), we collaboratively navigate and process your experiences to build resilience and foster personal growth.
Specializing in supporting women who have faced trauma stemming from domestic violence, separation/divorce, childhood neglect/abuse, and workplace mistreatment, I recognize the profound impact these experiences can have on one's sense of identity and direction. Whether you've lost yourself in these experiences or are discovering yourself anew, my focus is on helping you find meaning in your journey and guiding you toward a positive future. If you're seeking to build confidence in decision-making, establish boundaries, and cultivate a loving relationship with yourself, I'm here to collaborate on your path to healing.

I utilize my training in couples & family therapy and EMDR to guide people to new insights about their relationships and themselves.
I work with the people who are fed up, tired of feeling stuck, and ready to break free of unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I specialize in work with individuals, couples, and families with adult children as well as individuals of the Black and LGBTQ+ communities.

I believe in viewing what ails you in context to identify patterns of being and thinking in relationships, family systems and communities, and learn to deconstruct these ways and find new ways of relating.
Although you might come to therapy seeking help with your vulnerabilities, I believe you possess the strengths to develop healthy relationships with yourself and others and to change your life. Whether you come to therapy during an acute crisis, have reached a crossroads, or need to process and reflect on a layer of your life, therapy can be a powerful, supportive exploration. If you are seeking a better understanding or to change how you feel related to others, the meaning of important or painful moments in your life, or to develop insight into your life patterns, therapy can be a transformative tool for you.

With experience in private practice and in schools and family court, I bring special understanding of how social and cultural factors can impact your life (and continue to shape your narrative).
My practice is centered around the idea that everyone has a story to tell, and that by sharing and thinking about the constitutive elements of these stories they can reach the understanding of themselves they've been looking for. The goal of therapy is to make the unconscious conscious, as Freud said, and by looking at the narrative of your life we can create a framework for understanding how the issues you face have come about, and how you can address them in order to lead a fuller, more mindful and meaningful life.

My experience includes clinical work with K-5 students and Paris-based study of couple and family therapy.
I believe therapy can help us navigate our lowest moments and achieve our greatest happiness, whether in relationships, careers, or within ourselves. It gives us the freedom to take chances and break negative patterns. Emphasizing collaboration, compassion, and encouragement, I work with individual adults, teens, children, couples, and families. Relationship conflict, anxiety and depression, trauma and grief are among my areas of specialty. I often work with those driven to achieve — offering help coping with pressure, finding fulfillment, and understanding how past experiences can influence the present in subtle yet powerful ways.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
