As founder of Gentle Growth Therapeutic Services, I provide psychotherapy to adults and adolescents who are seeking to heal from the results of painful childhoods and current losses.

Parenting is hard work! I can help. I am a Columbia University trained Clinical Psychologist specializing in maternal and child mental health and development. Women and/or their partners often seek support during pregnancy or the postpartum period for anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulty adjusting.

Psychotherapy is individualized and may include aspects of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches.

This group provides fathers, new and old, a safe place to discuss the emotional, marital, social and financial impact of being a parent. Today more than ever men struggle with what it means to be a good enough father. The transition to becoming a threesome, changes in intimacy and sex with ones partner, roles, choices and balancing home and work, and feelings of how one was parented are some of the topics that may be addressed.
If you are feeling bad about yourself and aspects of your life, therapy can help improve your self-esteem, mood, and the quality of your life. I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with a wide range of issues. Some are confused and unhappy about their relationships or troubled by their performance at work or school. Others come into therapy because of a crisis in their lives, such as illness, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. I also see people who are having trouble adjusting to a life transition, like going away to college or becoming a parent. Still others are bothered by events from the past. Whatever the issue, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and/or angry are common.

A Family Constellation is a powerful process that enables individuals to overcome patterns of behavior that have been repeated in families for generations. Have you felt burdened by behavior you cannot seem to change- whether yours or that of a loved one? In this work we experience that certain behavior patterns and issues may not belong to us personally, but are embedded in a web of family dynamics that can go back for generations. In experiencing and acknowledging this web of relationship,we become free to leave behind what does not serve us and move forward with new purpose.

DBT recognizes that patient problems are often the result of skill deficits and so increasing individual capabilities through skills training is a major focus of DBT.
