You are not defined by your story! If you're feeling alone, unnoticed, or invisible, believing that there's something wrong with you, that you're not good enough - I want to provide a safe and supportive space where you can be truly seen and heard. My goal is to help you process the events, emotions, and family of origin issues that have brought you to this point, to develop insight, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of self. As a trauma-focused therapist, I offer virtual sessions for clients in NJ, NY, FL, and MD, and I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve freedom, healing, and self-compassion through our work together.

Well hello there. I prefer to use the treatment best suited for the client and issue at hand, with the client's input as well. We need to tailor our treatment to the individual, not the individual to treatment. I have completed my comprehensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as advanced training in DBT skills implementation. I utilize an integrated approach of DBT, CBT, and Internal Family systems to assist and support clients through the challenges they are currently. I believe that together we can address and change the issues holding you back from achieving your peace, and move towards celebrating life.

Maybe you have trouble creating boundaries, default to people-pleasing to avoid conflict, or overthink and question yourself constantly. These are all symptoms of an unbalanced and under-appreciated Self. Just like a fever lets us know we have an infection, life problems let us know something deep within us isn’t right. We don’t blame the fever, we thank it for alerting us to the bigger problem. Using life’s challenges as a guide, we work together to build the foundation of self you need in order to live an enriching and fully human life. This work benefits not only yourself but also your loved ones and the rest of our human family.

My post-graduate training in Family Systems and Cognitive Behavior Therapy inform my work.
How you get through a difficult time does matter. Insight oriented work is an incredibly powerful and meaningful process whereby you explore who you are, what you want, and how to get there. My clients are typically smart, kind, and goal-oriented. I have found that they may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or rocky relationships but they strive for peace, inner strength, loving relationships and a sense of purpose.

I am an irreverent multi-dimension professional with 30+years in human development, integrating educational psychology (Learner development - attainment, process & achievement) - focus on cognitive, social emotional, a Family Therapist and licensed Holistic Wellness Coach aiming at personal and professional life as a UNIT while validating every part of it.
My therapeutic treatment is an individual personalized plan (IPP) that starts by assessing client’s expectations and goals and progresses into a tailor-made treatment. "Starting with The End in Mind", states Covey, S., clients bring to therapy their own narratives to which expect solutions. As we unfold, several plots emerge. With the ultimate client's goal in mind, our sessions take a ride in the client’s journey thru past, present and future. Whereas seizing the present is the key, looking ahead and glancing back at the past gives it a re-significance as the past does live in our present and is strong enough to shape our future.

We are trained and experienced in multiple specialty areas, including finances, life transitions, trauma, school related issues, immigration, family work, and adults with ADHD.
I am the owner of a group practice. We are accepting new clients. I have limited spots. There are times in life when everyone needs a little help. You might be dealing with grief, such as losing a family member or a beloved pet. You may be struggling with daily problems like past trauma, financial difficulties, or issues focusing. We help individuals feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or want to feel differently. With a supportive relationship and a safe space to share these things this process can allow the time for you to start to enjoy life, feel more confident, and recognize yourself again.

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.
