"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." H.D. Thoreau. As a psychotherapist, I've helped individuals and couples address a wide variety of life issues that have enabled them to lead more authentic and self-directed lives. Whether you are searching for a more meaningful career, desiring a more satisfying relationship, managing a significant life change, I will help you learn to cope with any life changes that you currently face. Through our work together, I will assist you in developing greater self-awareness, and empower you to make better life decisions.

You are currently seeking therapy because you are struggling emotionally and need support. As your psychotherapist its very important for me that you feel safe. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, life transitions, low mood or emotionally eating when in distress. Difficulty coping and adjusting to life. Maybe you're not sure why you keep repeating the same challenges. During our work together I listen with an open mind and work collaboratively with you to develop a deeper understanding of your emotional and behavioral challenges. I am very interested in how the different parts of yourself come together as a whole.

Many children and adults are immersed in struggling to cope with post covid reactions. The isolation of lockdown and COVID itself has caused lingering symptoms of depression, anxiety, fatigue and ambivalence about re-engaging with others and with activities that are life affirming. To compound matters we are witnessing the slaughter of innocent human beings at the mercy of a mass murderer. Don't delay in seeking help if you are struggling to make sense of your life. Bring your partner, family or your friend group for a session. You and those you bring might be surprised by the therapeutic benefit of even one meeting.

Therapy should be practical and help you cultivate positive changes in your life. In that regard, I approach counseling as a psychotherapist and life coach by collaborating with you to explore ways to achieve a happier and healthier life. Through our work, we will strive to identify and transform negative cycles that keep us caught in unhealthy loops. I will provide you with guidance and feedback on how to develop healthier perspectives, effective coping strategies, and more positive life skills.

I am a bilingual Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years of experience both as a therapist and clinical supervisor, treating anxiety, depression, PTSD and other life issues. I understand that seeking help can be a difficult step. I will listen to your concerns attentively and with care to define your expectations and goals for treatment. I believe lives can be improved, and my optimism stems from witnessing clients change relational interactions, emotional responses, and creating more satisfying life's narratives. My approach is guided by psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, problem-solving principles.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth and healing. I work primarily with clients experiencing anxiety, impacts of trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ identity exploration and those seeking a better understanding of themselves and their story. Whether you are looking to explore the difficulties you are going through and develop new coping tools, want to learn more about yourself, or want to break out of unhealthy habits and develop more agency/accountability in your life, I provide a welcoming environment for you to do so.

I believe there is a natural tendency toward growth, a desire to be more of ourselves and to enjoy the things we do. For many, that curiosity and vitality has been restricted or shut down. This may lead to feeling depressed, like nothing will change for you. Or anxious it will only get worse. Or perhaps you sense things could be different and are frustrated, not knowing how to access that new way of being. Psychotherapy is a process through which you can understand how these feelings have come about and how to access your natural tendency toward wellness.

We all have strivings toward connection, understanding, and growth. The more these yearnings are thwarted by deprivation, misattunement, trauma or loss, the more profound and painful the longings and needs can become. There is a basic human need that we all have to grow, to heal, and to transform into becoming our true and best self.

I work with people of all ages who are navigating life transitions, struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and shame, and experiencing challenges in relationships. I also specialize in helping people make peace with their bodies and heal their relationships with food and exercise.

I have worked in social services providing individual and group counseling in New York City for over 15 years. From crisis hotline volunteer to HIV test educator, from substance use counselor to prevention group leader, my work has taught me two important things: no one's life is perfect and everyone's got issues. So why therapy? There are times when you find yourself in the same frustrating or painful situation, or when you just want to make a change but don't know how - therapy can help. With my training and experience, I can help you through these times.

Are you experiencing depression, self-doubts, self-esteem issues, anxiety? I have extensive experience in helping clients with these feelings. I am an honest, compassionate and insightful therapist with years of experience as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist. My experience is in working with children, adolescents and adults. I believe in supporting my clients through a trusting relationship to use their innate strengths to heal and move forward. Incorporating strategies for boosting mood, self-esteem and managing anxiety can go hand in hand with insight oriented therapy. We will work together towards your goals.

Much of my work with clients involves understanding the feelings and situations with which they are struggling. Through my listening as well as my participation, my clients come to understand themselves and to realize their own capacity to make changes in their lives. A question I often think about, and share with my client, is “what is getting in the way, blocking my client from feeling relatively happy, and being the person they seek to be- in relationships, in work, in their lived lives?" These questions may not have immediate answers, but it is something my clients and I keep in mind from the beginning & work towards exploring.

I work with couples, children, teens, and adults. My specialties include communication issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attention and learning differences, and oppositional behavior. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Manhattan. My approach to treatment involves understanding the whole person and helping them better respond to challenges.

You’re exhausted from feeling anxious and overwhelmed with life. You want to feel deeply connected to yourself, others, and maybe God, but just feel distant. You desire to feel confident, safe, and loved, instead of feeling guilty and never good enough. You are ready for relief and to embrace life as a whole hearted, confident person. I'm glad you're here. Therapy with me is a place where you can feel safe, understood, and known. Together we’ll uncover patterns and how they connect to your past experiences to build healthier rhythms of functioning.

We all seek a psychotherapist when we feel lost, confused, out of sorts with ourselves and others and it takes courage to expose one's self at times like this. Just the act of making the call to a therapist creates more confidence because it's a step towards gaining a little mastery over one's confusion or paralysis. It signals one does believe there's the chance of resolving one's problems and moving forward.
