Sometimes we walk through life feeling like we aren't good enough, like an imposter, disconnected from ourselves and others. We can become so distressed that it's hard to enjoy the moment, and successfully move through our day. Sometimes we can't explain why we feel the way we do, and we might tell ourselves we're 'broken'. When we suffer like this, it's possible that there's a connection to your family's past and this wounding happened to someone other than yourself. My goal is to help you unpack these feelings, come to understand what is yours and what may be inherited, and move toward resolution and healing. As the child of a Holocaust survivor, working with intergenerational trauma has been a deeply meaningful experience, both personally and professionally. I know first-hand the healing that can be achieved through therapy with someone who understands the complexity of inherited family trauma. Because of the importance of the therapeutic relationship, it's got to be the right match. You may contact me for a free phone consultation so that I can learn more about your needs and how we might work together.

Hello and welcome –I am so glad you are here. If you have found this profile, it’s because youhave come to the brave decision to try therapy. Therapy can be many things –joyful, difficult, humorous, awe-inspiring, and it can involve dealing withsome of the deepest, most painful parts of ourselves, the parts that that keephidden for fear of what we might find. Therapy can also be a time to learn andgrow in ways we may have never anticipated. After working for the past ten years in mental health andreceiving my license as a clinical psychologist in 2023, I founded my ownpractice, New Pathways Psychotherapy. At New Pathways Psychotherapy, my goal isto help each and every one of my patients discover and reconnect with theircore values and gain the skills and confidence to overcome the barriers intheir way. I use an approach that is customized to the needs of each patient,with techniques from psychodynamic therapy, existential therapy, attachmenttheory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe that therapy issomething that happens with, and through you, not to you, so I aim to includemy patients in the treatment planning process to ensure that their treatment issuitable and appropriate to their needs. My ideal patient is someone who is curious about themself andis motivated to make changes in their life. My areas of clinical focus includethe treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as helping peoplestruggling with negative self-talk, self-doubt, and life transitions. I am proudto work with individuals who identify as queer, questioning, trans, non-binary,or ace, and continuously attend training to ensure that I am the best ally Ican be to my patients, friends, and family alike. I am also exceedingly geeky and spend my free time watchingthe likes of the newest superhero or Star Wars show, reading through the ACourt of Thorns and Roses series, and rereading the Hitchhiker’s Guide series. Iuse this passion for sci-fi and fantasy alongside humor and evidence-based principlesto help my patients. All fandoms and all Jewish identities are welcomed andappreciated here.

I specialize in working with motivated women struggling with anxiety due to burnout, life transitions, student life challenges, or general stress, who are looking for relief and hoping to regain the enjoyment of their life. If anxiety is showing up for you on a daily basis, the rest of your life probably doesn't feel like you want it to. Anxiety might be present because you are in the middle of a life transition, are feeling burned out or feeling stressed from work or life demands, or are navigating social and academic pressures in school. The weight of anxiety can strain your relationships, hinder your progress towards goals, and dampen your overall sense of fulfillment. You might feel stuck in managing changes in life and feel like there is no escape from those anxious thoughts! You know something needs to change to feel better but don’t know where to start. That is where our work together begins! As a woman who manages anxiety in my own life, I get it! I specialize in providing compassionate therapy for women who are navigating the challenges of anxiety related to life transitions, burnout, stress, or the demands of being a student, who are looking for relief and to regain a sense of enjoyment in their life. In your appointments, you will discover a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your stressors and emotions. My goal is for you to rediscover the joy in life and feel in control of the anxiety that may be getting in the way. Through our conversations, you will gain valuable coping strategies that extend far beyond our sessions, empowering you to navigate life's complexities with confidence and resilience.

Hello, my name is DJ, and I am a psychotherapist helping teens and adults navigate through some of life’s biggest challenges, including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, challenges in relationships, life transitions, and figuring out where to go in life. As your therapist, my goal is to help you feel more compassionate towards yourself and courageous towards life. I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors with curiosity and openness rather than judgment. I help you find a way to feel connected to your strengths and help you address what may be holding you back. When we learn to listen and connect with all parts of our inner world, we end up feeling more alive, take better care of ourselves, and improve the quality of our relationships. My upbringing in the Jewish community informs my work with my fellow members of the tribe. I bring an understanding and appreciation for the unique benefits, challenges, and way of life for Jews in a modern society. As a mental health practitioner, I hold space for all beliefs and goals in therapy, whether it is integrating more spirituality into your life , defining and developing your own way of practicing Judaism and spirituality, and any way that leaves you feeling more connected, inspired, and authentic.
