My Story
As a child and marital therapist, I witnessed the negative, sometimes tragic consequences of the breakdown of families in the Jewish community. I became passionate about helping parents and children who suffered through the pain of divorce or the death of a spouse/parent. With a vision of empowering remarried couples, I collaborated with a colleague to develop and run a psychoeducation program for stepparents at Counterforce, a Brooklyn based Jewish social service agency.
Today, I run a successful private practice where I help step parents move beyond their personal pain, develop vibrant marriages, and build successful stepfamilies. Understanding that each family’s dynamics are unique and complex, I draw on my knowledge and experience to help remarried couples and their children identify core issues, navigate difficult challenges, facilitate the healing process, build trust and establish effective communication.
Beyond individual and family therapy, I offer interactive community workshops for stepfamilies as well as focused mentorship training programs for community leaders who work with remarried couples and their children. I also co-direct a parenting and family therapy program as well as supervise school social workers and family therapists at Counterforce.
For 20+ years, I have been dedicated to helping rebuild vibrant marriages and form healthy, integrated families. I firmly believe with the right guidance and support, your remarriage and stepfamily will flourish.
