I intend to help clients address their attachment and developmental trauma, often at the root of anxiety, depression, and other challenges, using NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model). Its heartfelt approach utilizes the shared human experience to support the client’s development and growth. . Within the modality’s framework, I create a collaborative environment where clients can reconnect to their heart’s desire as we address internal obstacles. In our exploration, the client finds healthier ways of relating to their self and environment.

I commend you for taking the first step at bettering your mental health! My focus is working with teens-young adults. I specialize in relationship issues, women's issues, and life transitions. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, family conflict, internalized stress, and self-esteem. My approach is warm and empathetic, I often use humor and sarcasm (when appropriate) to help the client feel comfortable and relatable. I use an integrated intervention method mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, strengths-based perspective, compassion focused, and culturally sensitive, however, I adjust the treatment modality to best suit your needs. It is important to show up and be an active participant in therapy to work toward the changes you desire, and I look forward to helping you with that journey!

When life presents us with challenges and unexpected turns, we are given options for an opportunity for change; to not allow them to define our present or our future. Many of us face difficult situations that can get in the way of a full, satisfying life. Each individual has the strength within to grow and find a healthy balance. Sometimes, we need a little extra guidance to see that life's challenges can be transformed into healing opportunities. Therapy can offer a breath of hope to those who feel lost, stuck and alone. One of the most important factors in successful therapy is finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Therapy also provides exploration on learning how to find your true sense of self. Working together helps develop a better understanding of yourself, while re-claiming your personal strengths. It takes courage to start the process of building a trusting, therapeutic relationship. Finding the right fit in a therapist is a really important step. Telling your story and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself will have an enormous, positive impact. Let's connect to uncover your full potential.

Many people seem to have lost their way; they have followed paths they believe they "should" take and find themselves asking why they are not as happy as they expected to be. At the heart of therapy is empathy, i.e. the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. My empathy for clients enables them to identify their feelings and needs, and accept and value them. This allows them to empathize with others and form meaningful relationships. While therapy requires work and commitment and can thus be challenging, it is well worth the investment of time and energy.

It's OK that you're here. Read that again. You are taking the very first step on your healing journey and finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task. I am here to make it easier for you and share what I value in a therapeutic relationship. I take pride in my natural instinct to empathize and understand an individual's struggles. I value connection and our relationship. I do not expect anyone to feel comfortable opening up to me without first building our rapport together. Above all, I strive to convey an open, safe, and non-judgmental space for each and every person.

We all can struggle with life transitions, among those are entering college and graduating. We also want a thriving life but can struggle with depressive thoughts, anxious thinking, grief or finding a sense of purpose. I aim to work with you to identify what gets in the way of a more fulfilling life and then to work together to figure out ways to better relate to difficult internal thoughts and feelings and external circumstances. I'm a collaborative therapist who knows that you are the expert when it comes ... to you. I want to serve as a guide. I like to have a bit of a sense of humor and encourage with an emphasis on finding your strengths and what matters most to you.

YOU’RE NOT LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT TO BE LIVING. You’re unhappy, but you’re not sure why. At times, we can feel lost, numb, and disconnected from ourselves. There can be many reasons for this, and through our work together, we will understand what these are and how to reconnect, to live a vibrant, fully embodied life. Perhaps, no matter how many times you talk about past trauma, it still feels raw. Something isn’t healing. SOME PART STILL FEELS STUCK. It’s been my experience that trauma lives in the body, as well as the mind, and when we treat only the thoughts or the pictures in our heads, the deepest part of what is hurt sometimes isn’t heard. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, particularly childhood sexual abuse, in techniques that reach the whole self, such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and will work together to heal the past so that you can live fully in the present as a whole and empowered self. HAVING A NEW BABY can bring with it the highest highs and the lowest lows. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, and scared, and that you’re doing it wrong. Parenthood is a time of growth, but also an adjustment period, maybe the biggest we have ever faced! AS A MOTHER MYSELF, I understand this journey, and through my past work and training in perinatal loss and mood disorders, am here to help you navigate this time, and feel stronger as a result. Any transition into a new time of life, be it as a college student, first-time parent, or navigating midlife, there is the potential for creativity and growth, but uncertainty, anxiety, and fear as well. I’M HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH THESE TIMES OF CHANGE. My approach is collaborative, creative, and individualized. Just as every fingerprint and person is unique, it’s my belief that every therapy should be as well.

Never thought you'd find yourself looking for a therapist, or had a disappointing therapy experience before? Much of the success of treatment depends on finding someone whom you can trust, who is as invested in seeing you make progress as you are. I have a solid track record working with children, adolescents, adults and families to create change in their lives...even when situations feel hopeless. I use an integrative approach that draws from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and systems modalities. I am a trained drama therapist and play therapist, and use these skills when they help to support the treatment process. I offer individual, group, and family therapy. I am adjunct faculty at NYU and Lesley University, former supervisor at a residential treatment center, and the author of numerous articles and four books on trauma, child/adolescent treatment, and working with boys. Call me to set up a consultation or visit my website to find out more.
