Family Therapy in 10130

My guiding principle as a therapist is deep listening without judgment (acknowledgement plus acceptance) so that people can feel the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of colonial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to holding space for others to unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

My goal as a therapist is to help people gain a deeper understanding of their personal and interpersonal challenges that can often become obstacles in reaching their full potential I've been a psychotherapist for more than 30 years and have helped people develop healthier, more adaptive ways of handling their emotions. I believe in working with people in a very active and collaborative way whether it's addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma or relationship issues. My fees are very reasonable and flexible because I believe everyone who needs psychotherapy should have the ability to have it.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating and body image concerns, as well as issues related to women's health, pregnancy, miscarriage, and adjustment to significant life transitions such as parenthood, work-family balance, college, career change, and loss. I believe a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential in the facilitation of healing, and the process of growth and change. I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs.

With over 25 years experience, I offer cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with teens/adults who experience mood, relationship, and eating disordered issues. Whatever brings you in, we focus on self-understanding and making small yet effective changes that let you be heard, connect, and thrive. Second, neuropsychological evaluations let us pinpoint learning or attentional issues that compromise performance, achievement, and self-esteem. My dual focus allows for a broader understanding of what prevents one from reaching their true potential, which then guides comprehensive recommendations. Couple and family sessions are also offered.

As a therapist I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you will feel validated and supported.

I believe that through therapy, ruptures can be repaired, and couples and families can navigate tumultuous times with greater ease and grace.

I believe our unique identities and lived experiences inform our inner landscapes. Difficult emotions you may be feeling are often signals that highlight and parts of ourselves longing for connection, understanding, and attention. Together we will listen to these signals, build a safe haven for exploration, and create space for self-expression, openness, & growth. There’s a deep comfort that develops when we feel safe and supported; and this experience can be healing and transformative. Centering warmth and empathy, I embrace a collaborative, person-centered approach, while utilizing practical tools to best suit your needs.

The work of therapy can be invaluable in findng new ways of living and relating especially when anxiety and fear cut off possibilities and keep a person feeling stuck. While I don't believe in cookie cutter approaches to therapy, I find than many clients benefit from challenging negative self-talk, learning to listen to their bodies, and investigating unwanted patterns that persist in their lives. I've trauma training including EMDR.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey shaped by your needs and designed to facilitate growth and create a hopeful path while helping you feel empowered, instead of being imprisoned, by your prior path and struggles. I encourage you to find and express your genuine self and develop the courage to be in the driver seat and live a more fulfilling, connected, and happier life. My multicultural background and extensive training and education in different fields of psychology allow me to apply a multidisciplinary approach while appreciating your personal and social needs, values, tradition, and cultural circumstances.

Taking the step to start treatment and finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with may seem like a daunting process.

In my years of practicing I have found that everyone can profit from counseling, psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis, depending on their need. I collaborate with my patients to help them better understand and remove the psychological and social barriers that inhbit them from being content and satisfied with their lives. I treat many kinds of patients in many psychological and life situations. I have found that many problems have been life-long, and unfortunately only when they becone too painful and interfere with their lives do people look for help. Sometimes these problems are most acutely felt at times of transition.

I see each person and situation as unique, and modify the therapeutic relationship to meet the individual needs of my clients. I work collaboratively, offering feedback and reciprocal exchanges in each session. I also focus on helping people use their individual and unique strengths to live more meaningful, balanced lives, and to maintain more satisfying relationships.
