Mental health conditions and substance use problems affect people from all walks of life and all age groups. These conditions are common, recurrent, and often serious, but they are treatable and many people do recover and thrive. Changes in thinking, mood, and behavior affect how one relates to self, another and how choices are made. When experiencing on-going personal conflict, relationship issues, family troubles, depression, stress, anxiety, and or substance dependency to cope, many people turn to a therapist for help. Early intervention is important. I help clients achieve their goals.
“Group therapy is the most powerful tool yet. It is the next level in therapy to achieve freedom to create the life you want”. An individual's psychology is largely formed and developed in relationships (family, school, etc.) -- in essence, through groups -- that positive change can be facilitated and expedite. Through a group framework you will understand where you are, including your needs and values, and specific next steps to address issues through a supportive, structured and positive learning environment.

I offer group therapy (please see below for my groups), ADHD couples consultation, and ADHD evaluations. I use a skills-based approach because teaching someone how to eventually be their own therapist can help someone develop the confidence to manage whatever life throws at them - as they say, if you catch someone a fish, they eat for a day; teach them to fish, they eat for a lifetime! I also practice with a values framework so I will be eager to learn about what your values are and what is important to you in your life. I can see people in: NY, NJ, FL, CT, VT, IL - more to come.

This pandemic has causes so much uncertainty and robbed us of a sense of control. For some, when we feel out of control, we might fixate on body-related insecurities or ways of finding control through food/exercise. If this rings true for you, my Zoom group therapy could give you an outlet and a source of support. I am limiting the group size to 6-8 individuals and will start in early/mid June. *This is a group for cis/trans women and non-binary individuals only.*

I work with people in situations that take them to the edge of their abilities or comfort zone. When we are not sure what to expect, our minds may try to fill in the uncertainty with strong thoughts and emotions. They can be mild, or strong enough to stop people from doing the things they need to do every day because of anxiety or depression.Sometimes there are things about our lives that we can't change, but those things don't have to keep us from taking the steps that we can.

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.
