I have worked with adults, adolescents and children, with individuals and groups.
Change is rarely easy. Life comes with changes that sometimes can feel overwhelming to navigate. Acknowledgment is the first step, and seeking help comes next. My approach is to meet you where you are, in a genuine and empathetic way. I provide a neutral, non-judgmental, yet challenging environment to explore and find positive coping strategies. I believe positive coping strategies empower us to live better lives and handle change effectively. I will walk with you on this path of your life, and will help you to become who you are destined to be.

I specialize in treating both couples in trouble and children with behavioral problems in the context of their family.
Nearly thirty years ago I was began my family therapy training with one of the most highly-regarded figures in the field, Dr. Salvador Minuchin. Since then, I have worked with couples reeling from affairs, or on the verge of divorce, people suffering from anxiety or depression, and children with "acting out" behavior or identified as having ADHD. My long experience as a family therapist has only deepened my appreciation for the trials and triumphs of the human condition. I work relatively briefly, and often successfully, with those who have tried other therapies, without improvement.

For the past 30 years I've worked at major academic hospitals in NYC where I've gained expertise in working with a multitude of individuals with various issues, some of which are the diagnosis of a new illness, divorce, children leaving home, aging, loss.
Are you feeling anxious, sad and alone? Do you feel overwhelmed by your issues and stuck in your present situation? Do you you need support to help guide you through these issues so that you can be in a better place? I had a client with similar issues. She was 63 years old who lost her job due to downsizing. She was also divorced. Many of her friends left and the ones she had were not supportive. She was always a career person working as an Assistant Director of Human Resources. Since her job was terminated, she felt no one would hire her again and she felt worthless.

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.

Together, we can embark on a path to acquire valuable skills that will enrich your daily life. I approach each individual from where they currently are, offering a warm and accepting environment to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My goal is to help my clients strengthen their sense of self, ultimately reducing their suffering while increasing their joy and fulfillment.

Through evidence based treatments, we address phase of life difficulties, professional life slumps and challenges, parent-child relational issues, relationship difficulties, poor emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, and self-injury.
We empower women to feel fierce and confident both personally and professionally. In short, we want you to feel like the badasses you were meant to be…PERIOD! We also help adolescents and parents navigate life transitions. For many of our clients, a lack of skills, low self-esteem, minimal self-empathy, and/or past hurts tend to get in the way of hitting desired goals and having fulfilling relationships. For adolescents finding autonomy while also dealing with ridiculously big emotions can wear on teens and parents. This can lead to depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation and self-harm

I've also been trained extensively and worked a lot with children and adolescents and their families.
I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.

Working with individuals, families, children and teens for the past 20 years, I have come to learn that we all want to be understood so that we may live healthier, more productive lives. Often times however, conflicts and repetitive behaviors prevent us from finding the satisfaction we desire. Depression, anxiety, and a host of other self defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with basic relationship success and can cause work, or school related difficulties. My approach is to work closely with you through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your individual needs.

I often hear - My child/spouse is not acting right! or We just can't get along! By activating complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, together we unearth behaviors that may prohibit change.
By becoming engaged and working with a solution-focused therapist, you will begin to uncover your own or your family's potential. You will begin to engage in a life that is worth celebrating. Re: children and adolescents, they often have behavioral issues that appear confusing. This includes ADHD, unresolved stress, unsupported grief, addiction/recovery issues. Families of all types can have these ongoing struggles. Conflict resolution is paramount between family members. In addition, counseling the parents re: their own depression, anxiety or personality issues is paramount to completing the cycle of ongoing family distress.
