While I work with a variety of people, many of my clients are “stressed out people-pleasers” who are exhausted from pouring themselves out for everyone else without taking the time to nurture their own lives, perfectionists, &/or people feeling “stuck” in the same patterns, having a hard time moving on from difficult events, thoughts or behaviors. It is so fulfilling to hear my clients tell me that they’re feeling more confident and finding their own voice, that their relationships are more satisfying since they’ve learned how to set better boundaries, and that they have a clearer sense of purpose and passion in their lives.

Have you thought from time to time that therapy might be a good idea? Have friends or family suggested that you might benefit from talking to someone? I am an experienced and empathic psychologist with expertise in working with food and body issues, relationship (both platonic and romantic) and career struggles, and helping people develop a solid and secure sense of themselves in their world. I focus on helping people improve their lives in the here and now, but also look to the past when it seems relevant.

Making the decision to start therapy can be both tough and uncomfortable, and, can lead to meaningful growth and change. Therapy can provide a very fulfilling and clarifying experience that can assist you in areas of your life where you may feel stuck, trapped and/or just wanting change. Working through these areas can unlock more joy,peace,ease,self-compassion and love.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, or working through professional or family challenges, our work will provide you with an opportunity for personal evolution, hope, and healing. Therapy provides a safe and nurturing space where you can develop the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive tools you need to maximize your resilience, and more capably and confidently manage life's challenges

Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? When we undergo a rupture in our lives we develop ways to survive in order to create feelings of safety. The coping mechanisms we develop can feel painful manifesting as deep rooted shame, addictions, a loud inner critic, relationship issues, perfectionism, eating disorders, lack of direction and feelings of sadness or fear to name a few. My goal is to guide you towards uncovering your authenticity and give space to parts of you that are longing to be liberated. I support you in developing new ways address to root issues in order to create feelings of agency and emotional harmony in your life.

You're the expert in your life. I want to help you explore and expand your sense of calm and empowerment, addressing your physical, spiritual, emotional, philosophical, and social parts. I recognize the importance of acknowledging the past and finding ways to feel more alive in the present. Much of our energy is spent focusing on reacting to external stimulation and making plans for the future. I am here to help cultivate a space and time to listen to and focus on inner experiences, which is mission-critical in changing how we relate to ourselves and the world.

My therapeutic approach is to offer support and guidance while creating a safe and collaborative environment for my clients. I encourage curiosity and self-reflection, as I believe insight and learning about oneself are important steps toward healing.

As life's challenges arise, I am here to support you in the face of adversity by integrating various forms of therapy tailored to your individual needs. My approach is compassionate, warm, and flexible. I view my clients as holistic beings and honor how our unique intersecting identities shape our experiences. I value the human need to feel seen, heard, and connected. Whether you are trying to become more connected to yourself, your body, or to others, I am here to support you on that journey. I believe that exploration and curiosity are powerful tools in fostering growth and becoming more grounded when life becomes turbulent.

I provide sex therapy and mental health services for clients in New York, Indiana, and Florida (Sex Therapy Certified). I am most passionate about working with sexual and identity concerns such as: exploring sexuality and/or gender, treating erectile dysfunction or performance anxiety, increasing pleasure, processing infidelity, exploring kink, navigating the coming out process, addressing low or discrepant sexual desire, processing sexual trauma, exploring polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, and affirming therapy for sex workers. I also have a lot of experience and enjoy doing therapy with medical professionals.

When people experience seasons of struggle, as we all undoubtedly do, sometimes therapy can be a valuable resource to help us find clarity, navigate uncertainty, lean into change and growth, or rediscover and restore what we once knew about ourselves. My philosophy in terms of treatment is one of partnership. I aspire to create a space, whether via video or in person, where you can feel safe to be vulnerably seen and heard, and my hope is that, at the end of our time together, you will feel empowered to live your life to the fullest, equipped with a diverse array of coping tools that you can confidently call your own.

Do you need a more fulfilled, realized, and happier life? I help professionals suffering from depression, anxiety, emptiness, or anger resulting from stress with relationships, gender roles and masculinity, careers, and creativity. I am particularly interested in working with creatives, artists, & writers. My approach to treatment is interactive, emotionally attuned, and mindful. I am keenly interested in your attachment to family and significant others. I have advanced training in Relational Psychoanalysis and Attachment Disorders.

People often come to psychotherapy after long-term frustrations, when they feel overwhelmed by a lack of possibility, in times of emotional pain, and when in a crisis. These feelings are addressed through a psychotherapeutic process in which people articulate aspects of experience they would not otherwise have a chance to explore. Through this process they not only make sense of symptoms and other forms of relational suffering, but foster increased freedom, creativity, and purpose.

Therapy might seem intimidating, but I work from a very friendly and relatable approach. My style of therapy is affirming and non-judgmental. I like to think of our sessions as two humans navigating whatever challenge you’re going through. I’m just as curious about how your past shaped you as I am about your goals for the future. On my therapy couch, you can safely explore your deepest thoughts and worries with someone genuinely interested in your story.

I am a dedicated therapist passionate about redefining the therapy experience for clients to include a holistic, whole-person approach of integrating compassionate healing through evidence-based interventions and tools. I hold working experience with young children and teens, as well as their parents, managing symptoms including but not limited to: Anxiety, Depression, ASD, Social Skills, School refusal, and Confidence. Above all else, I want my clients to realize they are capable and worthy of improvements in their life.

Are you feeling like no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something holding you back from your most joyful, peaceful and authentic life? I believe that your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved, but actually contains within it the exact wisdom you need to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I’m interested in helping you access that wisdom - in gently getting to the root of what has been missing for you on the level of mind, body, and spirit. I firmly believe that we’re all wired to heal, and that it is entirely possible to resolve the core wounds and patterns that are holding you back.

My first priority is to listen deeply to my clients and become attuned to your unique story. In my work, I draw on body-oriented practices and somatics, Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My goal is to guide you through understanding the dynamics that are holding you back or causing suffering, and empower you to get closer to the truest expression of yourself. I will meet you where you are, with deep compassion, to help you heal and grow.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) and Latinx LCSW, who prioritizes providing a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for all. I work with diverse clients in reducing and managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD – helping them to create healthy boundaries, strategize ways to approach difficult familial issues, processing loss, and other components that impact our daily lives such as race and cultural identity, work stress, career transitions, and burnout. My goal is to help each client to achieve a better understanding of who they are and how they perceive themselves in the world.

Much of my practice has been with survivors of trauma and with clients living with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict as well as those managing issues related to self-esteem, sexuality, and identity. My approach helps clients to identify internal and external resources that shift cycles of thought, emotion, and behavior in order to improve quality of life.
