Thank you for visiting my profile. I am licensed in NY, CT, and MA. Psychotherapy is about educating and raising awareness so that we can non-judgmentally identify our patterns and manage life’s confusion. I appreciate a collaborative approach to help identify your needs and goals. I utilize an integration of evidence-based treatment, process therapy, and a mindfulness framework. I also take time to understand and integrate what makes each person unique, such as our mood, temperament, family system, environment, culture, and biology.

Being a parent is one of the most humbling roles we will have; humbling in every sense of the word. Parents experience both highs and low: immense love, disappointment, complete satisfaction and pride, anger/frustration, feelings of hopelessness, feelings of competence. It can be a rollercoaster and your child didn’t come with an instruction manual. Helping our kids thrive and keeping them safe, healthy, and motivated in this world can feel like a problem without solutions. If you are struggling with or have questions about your child’s behavior and/or mental health concerns and would like support, please give me a call or email.

Teens, young adults and families face amplified stress in all realms of their lives today and meeting the demands of academics, social relationships and family closeness can become overwhelming. As a parent, watching your children struggle presents a persistent source of pain. As a child or teen, the struggles erode self-confidence and may provoke anxiety, depression and emotional or behavioral dis-regulation. Partnering with a therapist to scaffold your child's strengths and provide new tools to overcome their challenges is the goal of therapy. Finding practical strategies and a sense of balance is attainable.

We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Relationship woes? Existential Angst? Have a troubled teen or child in trouble? Feel stuck your life? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through this too. This is temporary. We will reach out to you, discuss your needs, and pair you with a therapist familiar with your needs. Together, you will meet, identify issues, collaborate to create a plan, follow through with some reasonable interventions, and figure out ways to make the changes last.

Life does not always go as planned. Between our self comparisons, what we see in the media, and what we planned for our life in our dreams- sometimes its hard to stay afloat. Parenting is rough!

If you can relate to any of these things, then lets partner together to build you up, identify what can work, and help get you through the rough times. Its overwhelming and all consuming, lets work together to get to a better place. I am a clinical social worker for 20 years plus a Certified Divorce Coach. Lets connect.
