New York, NY 10007
I provide a warm, non-judgmental experience while in working through challenges such as: Relationship issues in marriage, in business, mid-life career changes, work-life balance, parenting, cultural integration as immigrants living in the US or abroad, and more.
My specialty is to help Individuals and Couples reach their ideal self, while managing the anxiety and self-doubt that inherently accompany life transitions and personal growth. I invite you to experience transformation in your life and relationships in a dynamic way. Growth and change can be painful, and something we all struggle with, even if positive. I bring empathy and a compassionate nature to help make your experience supportive, and result oriented. In addition, given my extensive work experience in the corporate sphere, I provide Cofounder counseling/coaching to address issues impeding their working relationship.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
