Therapists in 10010

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

Whether you’d like to focus on unresolved parts of your past, current struggles you are grappling with right now, concerns about your future or all of the above, I am here to help. You can count on a warm, open, confidential and non-judgmental place to talk about whatever it is that’s on your mind. For over 20 years, I have successfully helped both individuals and couples on a wide range of issues: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, grief, sexuality, chronic illness/pain, existential dilemmas and many other emotional challenges. I also supervise other mental health professionals.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

Being vulnerable, feeling safe, laughing, and pushing past the distress are just a few of the moments that are shared in the therapeutic relationship journey. I often work with individuals, children, families and couples who feel lost and hopeless after experiencing trauma or feeling stuck by perpetuating issues. At times, experiences that we go through may also lead to anxiety, depression, and feeling lost for how to move forward. I work with individuals to help identify ways to have these "rocks" removed and develop plans that could be accessed outside of our therapy sessions.

If you, or someone you love, are struggling with substance abuse, past trauma, relationship or communication setbacks, anxiety and/or depression, it can be overwhelming to fight these feelings alone.

You’re my ideal client! I want to meet you wherever you are & journey with you to where you want to go. Ever pass people who look impossibly high-functioning/put together - makes you feel like you'll never get there? So many look in a mirror & wonder who’s staring back & how they became who they are now.  To understand you, we first have to understand the story you’ve created from the beginning.  Letting others into dark corners of your life, where hurt hides, can be scary & painful.  But, it’s in those moments where healing happens. My role, in your journey, is to stand beside you, in the darker places, & help you turn on a light

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges? Perhaps you're grappling with the demands of parenting, trauma, or OCD. Whatever your circumstances, you deserve to feel understood, empowered, and guided towards greater well-being. At Expressive Connections, our team of compassionate therapists provides a nurturing environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies.

Are you struggling in any of your personal or professional relationships? You are not alone. The quality of our lives is directly measured by the quality of our relationships. Whether weekly, or through half, 1 or 2 -day couples' intensives, I invite you to master full-respect relational-living. Partnering & parenting and every other relationship in between, requires skills. I help you organize your thoughts, spot what you'd like to see transformed and the way to it. Mainly, I work with the parts of you that won't use the skills. My work is collaborative & interactive, shaped & refined by over 20 years in the field. Bilingual/Lic.

My aim is to help you feel less alone and more equipped to manage the uncomfortable experiences that stem from the wide-ranging impact of depression and anxiety. You may find that you are constantly doubting yourself, feeling you don't belong, avoiding people/events, feeling disconnected in relationships, or using maladaptive coping mechanisms. My approach to therapy focuses on building a connected and safe therapeutic relationship where we adjust unhelpful beliefs, process feelings, increase insight, and set goals to help you move towards increased resiliency and self-confidence.

Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Wondering if you are on the right track? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question wether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it? I am here to help and support you. I will work with you to find your own inner resources, heal and integrate past experiences, feel more comfortable in your own skin and at home in the world, and experience more joy, peace and meaning in your life and relationships.
