Our lives unfold their beauty, Like the petals of a flower, In challenges from circumstances, We find our finest hour. (C. Alexander Simkins).

Therapy for Young Adults Living with Loss and Grief in New York. Navigating the overwhelming waves of grief can leave you feeling isolated, even when surrounded by those who care. You might find yourself holding back tears at work, striving to maintain composure while your world feels upside down. Socializing may amplify your loneliness, as peers struggle to grasp the depth of your loss. Perhaps your thoughts are consumed by "what ifs" and "if onlys," leaving little room for anything else. The person you once turned to is gone, and you're left wondering how to move forward without them.

When faced with one of life's many obstacles, I believe the first important step is to reach out for support. We may need help to move through a transitional time in our lives, to work through a rough patch, or to build skills to better manage a crisis. Examining issues through a CBT lens allows us to identity thoughts and behaviors that can cause us distress. We address these thoughts and behaviors to improve your life. I believe all individuals have strengths. Through therapy, we will work together to capitalize on these strengths and develop a healthier sense of self.

Considering entering therapy can be filled with hope for positive changes and concerns about the process. We all have questions: Is change really possible? How difficult will it be, what might I discover, and do I want to know it? Is it even okay to express what I'm really thinking and feeling? If you're up for doing the work, then the answer is yes. The road to bringing your struggles under your control is both challenging and worthwhile.

As a psychotherapist I help adults and children connect to their strengths and resources by providing therapy through the lens of creativity. You or your child may be feeling stuck, struggling to cope with behaviors, or adjusting to life transitions such as divorce, changes in relationships, career or school. My approach uses both verbal psychotherapy and creative interventions. I like to bring music into the therapeutic process because it helps one connect to their body, emotions and memories when talking alone falls short.
