Grief Therapists in 10128

We come to therapy because we want to experience our lives as more satisfying. It is my job to provide a space that facilitates the changes you desire. With change there are growing pains. In a sense, I offer pain management. Whether you go into the past, or concentrate on the present, we focus on removing what isn't working for you and replacing it with tools and experiences that support you in your life. This is done in a self-accepting, non-judgmental way. I also offer Tipi, a technique that can eliminate specific anxieties, phobias, and impulsive responses.

My approach is warm, active, and compassionate. I work collaboratively with my patients so that discovery can unfold, and connections can be made between past influences and current patterns. My work focuses on building a stronger sense of self in a supportive and empathic environment where it feels safe to explore and challenge ways of thinking that have led to road blocks and unwanted emotional distress.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey shaped by your needs and designed to facilitate growth and create a hopeful path while helping you feel empowered, instead of being imprisoned, by your prior path and struggles. I encourage you to find and express your genuine self and develop the courage to be in the driver seat and live a more fulfilling, connected, and happier life. My multicultural background and extensive training and education in different fields of psychology allow me to apply a multidisciplinary approach while appreciating your personal and social needs, values, tradition, and cultural circumstances.

Taking the step to start treatment and finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with may seem like a daunting process. Through a collaborative process of identifying your goals and the obstacles that have stood in your way I can help you to feel better about yourself and your ability to make desired changes.

SLOW Down Just BREATHE - Make this your first step to effectively manage the challenges that confront you in your day to day life. In therapy, we will work together to confront your problems and improve the quality of your life. I have worked with adults, children, teens, and families with mood disorders, anger management, interpersonal conflicts, trauma, grief, adjustment issues including adjustment to medical conditions (acute and chronic), and employment related concerns.

Feeling alone, anxious, sad, hurt, or depressed in this uncertain world? It's difficult to bear alone. This often interferes with every day life, if not peace of mind. Maybe I can help you. Practicing for many years as a psychotherapist, I have come to know what a difference it makes when you have a trusted empathic person to talk to. I provide a safe, confidential space and hope to form that empathic understanding bond with you. It is there that you can discuss your fears and/or anxieties, and find resolutions and options in your life where you feared there were none.

You may have tried talking to family and friends. That's a good start, but sometimes they can not maintain distance. Finding a professional with whom you can develop a connection is key to the therapeutic relationship. I have been trained to listen thoughtfully, and help you deal with your unique situation. I can help you explore your options and develop the coping skills you need to manage your life productively. My objective is to establish a safe environment where your feelings can emerge and you feel understood.

I may not be the right therapist for everyone. A successful therapeutic relationship begins with a rapport between the therapist and their patient. Often, patients will meet me and we have an instant empathic connection. We both have a gut feeling it will develop into a good working alliance. My goal is to help patients become more aware of their obstacles, to find ways to resolve their inner conflicts, and make better choices. Patients are often unaware of how deeply other people and experiences have impacted them.

Do you, like so many others, struggle with anxiety? Know that you are not alone -- anxiety is one of the greatest sources of suffering in life. Or perhaps have you lost a loved one and are caught in the web of your grief?

Many of us spend a long time running away from the true essence of ourselves. We abandon ourselves to be accepted by others or praised by a society that wants a specific version of us. This ultimately leads us with pain that we find various ways to numb. Together, we can explore, feel, and heal this pain.

Are you struggling with interpersonal problems that have to do with work or with intimate relationships? Do you feel stuck with ongoing, unrewarding self defeating thoughts and actions? I'd like to help you move forward. Though it is important to understand why you are where you are, it is more important to move from that frustrating place into a more happy and self gratified life.

Are your fears and worries inhibiting you from being your best self and actualizing your potential? Do you feel that your relationships could be more satisfying and less stressful? Do you sometimes feel stuck with the same thoughts, feelings and relationship problems? Do you sometimes feel alienated or lonely? Often habitual actions, thoughts and emotions began in childhood as a way of coping with the stressors of childhood. I would like to work, together with you, and help you find new ways of coping, so that you can have more satisfying relationships,feel better about yourself and be less anxious.

Are you or your child feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious? I'm here to help. For over 18 years, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life stressors and/or transitions, behavioral difficulties, grief, trauma and childhood abuse.

My ideal client is one who is forced to come see me. I love helping them feel more at ease, encouraging them as they wrestle with difficult dilemmas, and then witnessing them decide to take the reins of their lives into their own hands. They are walking miracles and I feel so honored and privileged to be there to observe their personal transformation from bewildered and disempowered to self-confidently empowered.

Life is complex, and you might experience a gap between what you want and where you are at. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, perhaps experiencing difficulty making important decisions, or feeling that your life is not moving in the direction you want; psychotherapy might be a space for you to evolve in the way you desire by learning about yourself and ways to transition your current circumstances.

Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adapting and coping? Do you struggle to believe that you ARE capable of finding the light through the dark road you're traveling? If so, I truly get it. I can professionally and personally attest to the challenges AND triumphs of getting through big life transitions. While I wish I could eradicate all difficult emotions and experiences you're facing, my goal is to help you move through them more effectively. You deserve to live in a better way. "Better" IS possible.

I work with adults, children and adolescents. I use a psycho-dynamic, psychoanalytically informed approach that seeks to understand how primary early experience and relationships have impacted and influenced current self experience. The goal of treatment is to deconstruct problematic relational patterns and self experience and to achieve strengthened connection to one's unique, authentic self. I currently train at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.
