Do you feel unsatisfied with the direction of your life and the quality of your relationships? Do you feel stuck or lonely? Perhaps your persistent worries are narrowing your life? My goal is to empower adolescents, adults and couples to heal and grow into the people they would like to become, and to thrive in their lives and relationships.

Hello! I help adults and teens who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or trauma responses by getting to know the unique individual you are through an exploration of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, experiences, relationship dynamics, self care routines, community involvement, personal and interpersonal goals and life dreams. By utilizing a variety of modalities such as Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Action Methods, I help you to understand and create meaning around what has already happened and walk with you on your path to fulfillment.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), couples and families usually come to me because they are already aware that something needs to change. Understanding that relationship dynamics create the need for treatment, I work collaboratively with everyone involved to transform those dynamics. When working with clients to solve the problems they face, I use an inclusive approach, keeping in mind that everyone brings their own unique knowledge, perspective, strengths, and resources to their situation. I’m committed to using my understanding and expertise in mental health and relationships to help clients achieve their goals

Are you a couple struggling to be heard and reaching for connection? Are you dealing with anxiety over a recent life transition? As a clinical therapist in DUMBO, I specialize in helping individuals cope with anxiety, couples in conflict increase positive interactions, and those going through life transitions find confidence. I also offer family therapy skills to children and parents struggling with behavioral challenges. We help those who feel stuck in patterns that don't seem to be working anymore by providing a safe, trustworthy and collaborative environment that works towards a sense of self-efficacy and change.

Envision a life free from the burdens of past trauma, where you connect deeply in your relationships with others and your relationship with yourself. This is the transformative power of trauma therapy that focuses on relationships– it's about transformation from the inside out. As human beings, we need love and connection. When these essential needs are unmet, we may find ourselves feeling spiraling in all areas of our lives, wondering how things got so out of hand. The gift of therapy is the path of freedom, self-discovery, and deep understanding.

Do you feel stuck? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, chronic illness, or relationship challenges?

Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, EMDR Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method for couples counseling, I can help you feel relief from your pain, gain more control of your life, and find a sense of purpose and direction.

Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Today you took that step, and the journey has begun to a better you. My job on the journey is to be your map, guiding you to where you want to be in your life. Along the way you will learn tools and techniques to navigate through life's sometimes rough terrain. Utilizing these tools will help you to feel empowered and start to see your true ability.

I specialize in anxiety, ADHD and helping parents navigate their child's developmental diagnosis. I conduct CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), TF-CBT (trauma-focused CBT), ABA (behavioral therapy), solution-focused therapy, and structural and strategic family therapy. I love learning about neurobiology and the effects that stress has on the brain. A client can expect to encounter a warm, compassionate, and encouraging soul who has a dry sense of humor and tends to address problems in a straightforward manner.

Do you feel stuck sometimes or feel lost with no one to turn to? Are you facing a significant life transition? Have you been trying to get yourself out of the same old patterns and it’s just not working? I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families on improving anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, communication struggles, self-care, and life changes. I will work with you to create coping skills and empower you to work towards increased happiness.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in building better behaviors & working to make progress on healthy routines that help my clients better deal with life's stressors. Through my work, I have noticed a recurring theme of unorganized & scattered thinking & a fear of growth and change. I have also noticed that we all have internal strengths that we have not found & unlocked due to fear and self-doubt. My life & treatment philosophy overlap as my work is rooted in the understanding & belief that growth & development are ongoing processes that are guided by consistency in routines.

At LIWA, we understand that seeking support is the first big step toward making positive changes in your life. Together we can continue to take the next steps toward reaching your goals.

I've always thought that life is extraordinarily beautiful, but also exceedingly difficult and even brutal at times. As a therapist, my goal is to make the therapeutic process comfortable, meaningful, and productive. I've worked with all walks of life, but I think the kinds of people who might benefit the most from my services are those that are looking to gain insight and use that insight to create lasting change. My approach is simple, 50% bottom up - How did we get here? & 50% top down - What can we do about it? Over time, we'll work to put the pieces together, establish a plan of action, and create hope for a better tomorrow.
