Family Therapy

“All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
— Leo Tolstoy

​

But what makes a family happy or unhappy?
It’s not the house, the traditions, or even the shared memories - it’s the relational space between the parents.
That space is the air our children breathe. It determines whether home feels safe, playful, anxious, respectful, or tense.

As adults, we carry that space inside us. Sometimes we replicate it. Sometimes we run from it. But until we truly see and own it, we remain in its grip.
Family therapy invites us to stop running — and step into the fire together.

Because real family therapy isn’t a nice chat on Zoom.
It’s a crucible. A space of intensity, truth-telling, vulnerability, and transformation.
We open up. We take risks. We bump into old wounds and stuck patterns. We rupture. We repair. And through that process, we grow.

I only work with families who are ready to do the work - to show up with openness, humility, and a willingness to take responsibility.

​

Who Am I?

I’m a therapist, a son, a father, and someone who spent three years

in family therapy with my own parents.
It wasn’t easy. But it changed everything.

For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of families around the world - helping them move from reactive roles and inherited scripts toward relational freedom.
I specialize in working with adult children and their parents, helping them meet in the truth, liberate from limiting intergenerational patterns, and step into a more flexible, alive connection.

I created the Ninja Therapy approach: a bold, experiential, research-based method I teach internationally.
You’ll find my work in hundreds videos, my book Feel Free Together, and a Psychology Today blog with more than 2 million views.

This is not surface work. And I’m not a surface therapist.
If we work together, we go in - with courage, clarity, and compassion.

I hold a Ph.D. in Social Work, am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in NJ, and a certified Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT).

What Family Therapy Looks Like

Every family has its own “dance” — a co-created pattern of roles, rules, and reactions.
Sometimes one person "acts out" the system’s pain. Sometimes everyone’s just stuck.

In family therapy, we zoom out and see the system. We unpack what's not being said. We break through blame.
Together, we create a living lab where your family can practice new ways of showing up — more honest, more accountable, more connected. I'll help you speak more clearly, listen and be touched more deeply, and be able to meet in the truth - so you can feel free together and grow.

This process is especially powerful for families with adult children, where roles are shifting and old patterns need to be updated.
Because families are synergetic creatures - always evolving. Movement is health. Communication is oxygen.

​

How We Work

• I believe therapy should be practical, bold, and efficient — the goal is transformation, not dependency. The goal of therapy is to end and for the family to keep evolving with me.

• I believe knowledge is power, so I teach tools and concepts I use myself — often sharing videos and articles to deepen your learning and practice at home. Because therapy is what happens between sessions.

• You set the pace and schedule the next session at the end of each one. This keeps you accountable and engaged.

​

The Initial Session

We start with a 90–120 minute session, depending on how many family members attend. This is our chance to feel the chemistry and set the tone.

By the end of that session, I’ll reflect what I see: the core dynamics, your strengths, your stuck points - and offer a clear roadmap for the work ahead.
You’ll also leave with tools you can begin using immediately.

And then the decision is yours. You take ownership of the process from here.
