My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

I am a Certified Bioenergetic Therapist and have been in practice for more than thirty years. Bioenergetics is a mind/body therapy. I believe each of us is a unique individual - we need to be heard and deeply understood in our struggle to be ourselves and to move beyond the limitations our historical or current experiences impose on us. The Bioenergetic approach integrates verbal communication with active physical work - bodywork - which enhances the therapeutic process. I will help you to be more in touch with your feelings, more confident in your impulses, and provide you with tools to mobilize yourself toward what you most deeply desire. The therapeutic journey is profound and can lead us to places we often only dream about. Embodying ourselves leads us to stand independently in the world and allows us to know who we are and to relate to others from a more genuine, felt place. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring possibilities.

Maybe people accuse you of being paranoid when really they are at fault. Maybe you are hearing talking or having other unusual experiences, that are freaking you out or stopping you getting things done. Maybe you are concerned for a loved one, who seems to be experiencing these things and you don't know how to help? You are not alone! I will hear you out and begin to help you make sense of what is happening. I use a therapy called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy which has been proven to be effective for this, giving you tools to manage stressors yourself without having to be in therapy for ever. You will begin to learn strategies to help feel calmer and more safe. We will figure out what is getting in the way of your goals and how to overcome those obstacles (or survive them). I will not tell you that you are sick, wrong or bad. You will feel understood. I have helped hundreds of people with unusual experiences overcome their distress and achieve their goals, without shame or stigma. I am able to see people located anywhere in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, all by telemedicine. Reception will take your call or you can easily schedule through our website. Contact us now!

I work with people who want to understand the connections between past experiences and patterns in their current lives to have more satisfying relationships. The people I work with want to feel connected to others, repair past relationships, participate in corrective and reparatory experiences, understand their feelings, actions, and thoughts, and be at peace with themselves.

Within a strength-based, client-centered environment, we utilize an eclectic approach using elements of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology.

The relationship we have with our family is the method by which we learn to be people. It is how we learn to trust, care and to love. My mission is to assist families with open communication, building trust, and cultivating respect and understanding of each other. My focus is to help individuals, couples and families discover inner strength , energize their goals and dreams, and become aware of their gifts. I provide a neutral space to facilitate self exploration, self discovery and inner growth.

There are times in life when we struggle and feel hopeless. We try our best to be resilient, but sometimes we need help in finding our inner strengths and developing strategies to move forward. I am here to help encourage and support you to break general patterns to move you towards your goals. You deserve to live a life full of meaning and joy. We will work together to help you achieve your desired goals! I specialize in engaging and motivating individuals by identifying thoughts and behaviors that interfere with achieving their desired outcomes. This collaborative solution-focused therapy is motivational and focuses on building strength and resourceful ways to deal with life’s situations in the present and future. Your comfort and trust are most important in my practice. I understand the difficulties of seeking help and will provide a non-judgmental space to help you discover your own abilities to heal.

My psychotherapy practice is based on a few essential beliefs: 1) Creating emotional safety and mutual trust is at the heart of the therapy process. 2) The therapeutic relationship is the vehicle to healing and growing. 3) Humans need connection/relationship in order to thrive, along with a sense of autonomy, and a deep sense of being known and loved in spite of our flaws. 4) Our brains and bodies are biologically hard wired for survival; our earliest relationships teach us what we need to do to feel safe. This hard wiring can change if we have healing interaction with others. 5) Couples/Families can create safety for each other if they learn new ways of relating. 6) Therapy is not an endless process. I offer individualized therapy and through the work my clients find that: they develop a stronger self image, recognize what they can and cannot control, decrease anxiety and conflict in close relationships and in relationships at work, create emotional safety for those they love as well as for themselves, cope with stress using new skills, understand the connections between what they think, feel, and believe, are able to be more self aware, and learn to live life with a sense of intention, satisfaction, comfort,and pleasure. I have been a successful therapist for almost four decades, with ongoing training in different therapies. My approach is integrative, relational, and is tailored to the needs of my clients. Over the years I have been with clients as they discover or share their darkest experiences and most shameful secrets. It is a privilege to work with people, listen to them, witness their life experience, and and empower the to lighten the weight they carry. It is also a privilege to witness as repair in relationships takes place, and to be with patients as they experience growth, strive for goals, and find satisfaction and joy in their endeavors.

As a bilingual psychotherapist, I emphasize open communication and a collaborative process to guide you in navigating life’s complexities. With a supportive and structured approach, I focus on helping you enhance your emotional well-being and self-awareness. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, integrating evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and life-stressors. I help clients process negative experiences, build resilience, and develop emotional stability. I tailor each session to the individual’s unique needs, focusing on their strengths and fostering personal growth.

When we've had our feelings chronically invalidated, and when we've experienced abuse, we need a safe person to help us move forward. I use "unconditional positive regard" meaning that I'll view you positively regardless of what you share to help my clients experience what it's like to be in a safe, affirming relationship. Shame and guilt are common when we've lived through these kinds of experiences, usually because of a belief that we're fundamentally flawed and unworthy of good things. A big part of my work is helping my clients learn self-compassion, and unlearn limiting ways of thinking that hold us back and keeps us feeling bad. I use an eclectic approach, meaning that it's never a one size fits all situation. Some of my favorite tools come from Internal Family Systems (IFS), or parts work- a modality tailored for trauma treatment that allows a client to understand themselves in terms of parts. These parts like an angry part, for example, are mostly there to protect us, but sometimes they act out in ways that don't align with our values, and when this happens we need to get curious about them, and get a sense of how to help them feel safe. I also use body-based approaches, aimed at helping clients understand the physical part of anxiety and trauma, like a rapid heart rate, tense muscles, and shallow breathing. Other approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and many more. I also draw from my extensive experience helping previous clients who've lived through abuse and neglect to help my current clients, and I've trained at New York University, Columbia, and the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Staying on top of the latest developments in the field of psychotherapy is a passion of mine, and I strive to be the most competent and knowledgeable therapist I can be for my clients.
