Many clients in my Fort Greene practice are suffering from depression and anxiety. Both these strong emotions can rob you of joy in life, your energy, and your interest in connecting with others. Many people underestimate the impact of these strong emotions on your relationships, your productivity, and your health. Freeing yourself from the paralyzing trap of depression and anxiety will give you new energy to move on in your life.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.

As a therapist, I view the process as a partnership (collaboration) between the client and myself to establish the most appropriate and effective form of treatment. My approach to therapy is an eclectic one. There is no one size fits all. As the client and I begin to work together the most effective treatment modality will reveal its self and will guide the treatment planning process.

You are anxious, depressed, concerned about a toxic relationship, or life transition. You might have previously tried to manage these feelings by reading inspirational books or social media posts, yet you find yourself stuck, asking yourself, "I have tried so hard. How have I not reached my goals?" Your goal is to master coping skills so you can feel confident with your life decisions, and feel mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared to face life's challenges, rock at that new job, reengage with 'that' family member or friend, excel at your current schooling, or explore a new relationship with yourself or with someone else.

Most of my teen clients feel that anxiety has consumed their whole lives. They also identify as perfectionistic, depressed, and lonely. They are very creative, an overachiever or an over-procrastinator, and an emotional sponge. They may have a difficult time focusing in school and prioritize their relationships. Since they feel so deeply, they tend to feel ashamed of their emotions and work towards being someone different.
