As a psychotherapist I am committed to creating a warm, emphatic environment where you will feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings, and engage in the collaborative process of self-exploration. I work with adolescents, adults and couples to address concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-harming behavior, relationship issues, parenting challenges and stage of life transitions. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic, supportive and relational. Together we will work toward identifying the interpersonal dynamics and pattens of thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you feeling stuck.

You have taken a courageous step in seeking therapy. It is not always easy to talk about how you feel, what you've been through or what you want. Some experiences are beyond words. I see my clients as individuals who have the brilliant capacity to heal and connect with their innate self-worth. I create a warm and comforting space where you will feel seen and heard. My approach is interactive and incorporates an intersectional trauma lens. Together we will look at how your experiences, identities and relationships have impacted where you are now, and incorporate body awareness and strategies to heal.

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit." ~B.K.S. Iyengar * * * A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body and a healthy soul. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your life-story, and identifying and overcoming the blockages to a peaceful way of being. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to find balance and restore a sense of wholeness and perspective on our purpose in life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space in my practice for this to occur.

Any form of psychotherapy must be guided by one overarching purpose: to help you achieve your goals. Treatment alleviates distress and results in greater inner strength. Accordingly, therapy must be a constructive experience, and as work proceeds, you'll experience advances in your sense of well-being. On the whole, expect an upward trend of hope and greater self-esteem. Your capacity for intimacy with others and your sense of fulfillment will increase, concomitant with a decrease in suffering and pain. Psychotherapy helps to establish a profound, meaningful and healthy sense of connectedness with your world and those in it.

Sometimes in life, we face various problems or setbacks that impede our identity, self-esteem, relationships, and/or aspirations. Through therapy, we can safely and quickly develop ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In conjunction, I utilize specific ways to help you build your inner resources/skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Mindwell NYC, intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatments and use these treatments to provide individual, group, couples and family treatment for people across the lifespan. I often treat issues related to depression, anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, trauma and neurodivergence.

Life can be tough. We all face times when we are overwhelmed by major life changes or decisions, or experience sadness or depression for long periods of time that can make engaging in work and social activities difficult. Past traumas can also affect us in ways we don't expect, requiring a little help to process. My practice uses a strengths based approach to work through challenges together. I believe that we are all the experts of our own experiences, and I use this philosophy to help my clients achieve their goals.

I believe that a positive and genuine therapeutic relationship is essential to successful treatment. My empathetic nature fosters an authentic and trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for each individual. I am passionate and dedicated to working with my clients to develop tools and find ways to help each of them lead happier and more satisfying lives. I use a range of therapeutic modalities to help clients explore their past, to better understand their present situation, and to develop specific skills to reach their goals and to improve their overall quality of life.

Most people enter into therapy to gain a better understanding of themselves with the hope of living a better life. This has become a major goal for many due to the aftermath of the pandemic. Are there issues in your life that are causing roadblocks or obstacles that you can’t seem to get past? Are you dealing with battles related to trauma, alcohol and addiction, sexual identity, depression, anxiety, or shame that are setting you off balance? One may have the desire, motivation, and willingness to move forward in their lives, but may need some direction and skills that will help navigate them through these complex experiences.

As both a therapist and as a human in this world, I value continuous curiosity that leaves room for complexity and nuance to exist in my desire to more intimately understand your experience. I'm driven by the importance I find in creating a connection and relationship that is unique to us to use that as a secure base to explore, reevaluate, and disrupt old ways of relating and coping, together as partners in process. I believe strongly that a thoughtfully framed question can unlock feelings that have been hidden away, deepen complexity, shift perspectives, and inspire new possibilities through consideration of past and present.

I focus my practice on managing anxiety, depression, anger, relational conflict, substance abuse, personality disorders, trauma, and impulsive behavior. I specialize in populations affected by minority stress, including stigma associated with ethnic, gender, and sexual identities. I take a non-judgemental and compassionate stance with my clients. By attuning to their unique needs, I help clients understand the cause of their suffering and pain and work to help them facilitate change in pursuit of a life that feels authentic, valued, and worth living

I try to help patients discover those aspects of themselves, their partner, or relationship, enabling them to address their issue, moving to the next phase more satisfyingly. I do not bring any prior ideas or thoughts about the best outcome, but let my patient(s) guide the treatment. Working with someone means being available to the sort of dialogue that will be helpful. Some want to discuss a specific issue; with others, a larger pattern is revealed through our interactions. My adapting to the relationship, with the client not having to fit my style, is a particular strength of mine.

Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances. More than ever, with the recovery from a pandemic, inflation, and lifestyle changes, there is an increase in anxiety, depressed mood, social fears and worry about the future and unknowns. Therefore, therapy is more of a necessity for many of us.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
