“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. - Paulo Coehlo, The Alchemist

There are times in life when we know it is time for a change. We want to feel better, we want our relationship to feel better, and we are courageous enough to make the decision to be proactive and make that change. We feel ready to live fully as our authentic selves and create a life that is aligned with who we are at our core. 

There are many roads we can take towards healing, expanding, connecting with our hearts, and living in our full expression. I have dedicated my life and practice to discovering, implementing, and integrating various modalities to offer a heart-centered, holistic approach to that process. 

WE MUST CONNECT DEEPLY WITHIN OURSELVES IN ORDER TO CONNECT DEEPLY WITH OTHERS

I have been a NYS licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in private practice for over a decade and have successfully supported hundreds of couples. I also work with individuals on their journey towards healing, self-awareness, and self-actualization. It has been my pleasure to work with cilents with diverse backgrounds throughout New York City, from the entertainment, financial, and fashion industries as well as clients who work for grassroots and not-for-profit organizations. 

Human beings are more the same than we are different. We share a hope and desire to feel connected. Whether it is to feel connected to ourselves, our hearts, God (the divine, the universe, mother earth, etc...), or connected to other human beings. Connection. 

I love working with couples and have created custom "Journey Packages" to support couples with growing together as they are simitaneously healing and working through their individual blocks and triggers. This enables the healing of the individuals within the dynamic, which in turn leads to increased understanding, warmth, and intimacy within the couple relationship. 

IN ORDER TO OPEN OUR HEARTS FULLY, WE GET TO HEAL

Whether you plan to embark on an individual therapeutic journey or you are reaching out for couples therapy, during our time together you will learn how to access inner peace, regulate your central nervous system, tap into self-compassion and compassion for others, obtain increased self-awareness, learn how to hold space and validate yourself and others, quiet self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, and connect deeply. 

We will discuss the meaning you are attaching to certain life experiences, which may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, guilty, disconnected, or just plain stuck. We discuss how past wounds may be impacting your life present day, then work towards healing while simultaneously creating goals around changing the behaviors and perspectives that are holding you back. 

My clients report feeling safe and supported, gaining insight, and developing sustainable tools to overcome present day barriers to their happiness. They feel empowered to rewrite their story,  attain their goals, and create the life they desire and deserve!

what we extract from each experience becomes our reality" - TT

I wish you the best of luck with the process of finding a therapist you believe will be a good fit for you/your relationship. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out!  With Love, Tamara
