Welcome. I believe in our potential of self-growth and positive reformation. Therapy is an amazing tool that caters to that. Through therapy one gains self-awareness that helps make gradual and meaningful changes, to live holistically. My work entails reconstructing an individual’s emotional make-up in the most supportive and healing way possible. A journey of self discovery, aiming towards building a healthier inner core. It is beautiful to experience change constructively through small 'aha-insightful' moments, that help understand the why’s and how’s of our behavior. In the process there is so much to learn from one another.

My goal is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and the world so that you can make changes, so that you are satisfied with all aspects of your lives. I am here to help you relieve some of that frustration and pain by creating a warm and supportive space for you to be your true self. I provide support, empathy and empowerment to all clients as we work together leading you to living a happier, healthier and productive life.

You are not alone. Whether it is recurrent thoughts of wanting to make changes in your life, persistent hesitations around daily activities, feelings of anxiety and/or depression delaying or halting you from moving forward, or frustrations about your life not getting better fast enough, our licensed clinicians are here to help. Our eclectic approach draws on different evidence-based therapies to support you as you move through obstacles to reach your goals.

Life is not without uncertainties and fears. They usually come from a major life transition, family issues, relationship issues, health problems, or financial trouble. Developing coping skills to deal with stressful situations, losses, relationships, life changes is necessary to function effectively. Do you feel unheard, alone in your struggles? Are their major changes in your life? If you need a clear perspective, someone to talk with, someone to listen to you and be non-judgmental; someone who is dedicated, working with mercy and compassion to help you learn and develop skills to cope then I am willing to work with you.

I offer individualized and tailored care with strong humanistic approach to the unique challenges and conflicts that bring people to my practice. I graduated as a Clinical Psychologist in Argentina and received my Master Degree in Social Work at NYU. I have extensive clinical training and more than 14 years of experience in this profession that I love. I am aware that the first contact is usually difficult or anxiety-provoking but I will make sure that you feel comfortable and willing to initiate this illuminating journey towards insight, self-reflection and introspective work that will change your life.

My main priority is to provide an environment where you can obtain insight, skills, and motivation to process and cope with personal obstacles that life can at times throw our way. I specialize in working with adults and children with anxiety, depression, OCD, and interpersonal issues. Collaboratively we can identify patterns and behaviors that may be impacting your well being and help you reach your best self. Let’s work together to achieve long term improvement in your life, so that you can be your best self.

I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities with an understanding of interpersonal relationships. I pride myself in providing a safe and supportive space as well as providing unconditional positive regard. I have experience leading clients through marital and family conflict resolution by helping them recognize behavioral patterns. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, coping skills, life transitions, family conflict, and interpersonal relationships.

Until the pandemic, my practice encompassed adult psychotherapy and pediatric neuropsychology. At present, I have suspended neuropsychological evaluations as I am only providing remote services and have chosen not to do testing this way. I provide individual and couples therapy using an approach that may draw from different schools of therapy, depending on individual needs. I have very broad experience with a variety of ages and personal struggles. Although I am unable to provide pediatric neuropsychology evaluations, I am available for parent consultation.

I work with clients of all ages whose therapy goals may include improving general mental health, forming healthy attachments and relationships, and minimizing the effects of anxiety and trauma. When it comes to therapy, one size fits one. Some people benefit from a sustained dive into their past, their relationships, or their place in society. Others are more interested in finding solutions to personal problems in the present. For many clients, using music in the therapeutic process allows them to fast-track and optimize the emotional work they need to do before they can make meaningful changes in their lives.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Stressed or defeated? Life seems complex in new and insurmountable ways these days. Many people struggle to find answers to problems they were never prepared for. I know it’s hard to acknowledge that we don’t know what to do. I understand the weight of asking yourself “Where do I go from here?” I support my clients by providing clarity on how their behavior and unresolved issues affect them in their daily lives. I help my clients slow down and understand what's going on cognitively and physically so that we can break cycles and create new strategies to start finishing unfinished business.

I specialize in promoting selfcare for creative people. I work with creativity to enhance creativity. Using traditional talk therapy and creative modalities I help people find ways to better manage anxiety, depression and the stresses of everyday life. As a New York State Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, I work on building self-esteem and increasing resilience. I use a person-centered approach to create a warm, trusting relationship and therapeutic partnership through which clients can develop their inner strength and move towards a richer, more fulfilling life.

It is difficult to ask for help. Therapy can be a support to help you as you try to improve how you’re feeling. Whether it be depressed, anxious, angry or something else. It can be a space that you can have to look at routines and ways of being that have gotten you stuck and a space to expand your coping skills and interpersonal skills to improve your overall stance on life.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues; facing a crisis; or you are feeling dissatisfied in your relationships or work, therapy can be a place for relief and growth. Together, we will establish goals and collaborate to assist you in developing skills, enhancing your well-being, and gaining the freedom to make more intentional decisions about who you want to be.
