Therapists in Kips Bay, New York, NY

As an experienced, licensed psychotherapist with 18 years of experience providing therapy, I understand that starting therapy takes courage. I provide a safe, nurturing, reliable setting that allows self-discovery and the opportunity to create a life and form relationships that support your highest expressions of self. My focus is exploring patterns and how traumatic experiences have shaped your decisions, behaviors and relationships and beliefs. The therapeutic relationship can assist you in living consciously and releasing behaviors and negative thought patterns. Your identities are special and unique.. I value each one.

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper sense of fulfillment in your life. By exploring and understanding your feelings, thoughts and behaviors you will begin to develop more self-awareness and self-acceptance. It is quite rewarding to better understand the many complicated and self-sabotaging part of yourself and gain more control over those behaviors. Developing insight allows you to have a greater understanding of who you are and the life choices you have made. Insight and self-awareness give you more freedom to make healthier choices and change unsatisfied areas of your life.

My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you your deepest desires, aversions and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. In a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, you will discover who you are and what you authentically desire. Through the therapeutic process, you will be enabled to lead a more meaningful life and to establish more fulfilling relationships with healthier communication skills. We will work together to identify problems and solutions, and to help you be more effective overall in making decisions and reaching your goals.

I wholeheartedly believe that people get better in the context of relationships. I am a caring, attuned, and enthusiastic therapist, passionate about working with families, couples, and individuals. Therapy is an opportunity to make meaningful changes in our lives, and more meaningfully understand ourselves and our loved ones. Meaningful therapy is the opportunity to explore what has not been said. My aim as a therapist is to support individuals in bringing clarity to all relationships, and strengthening relationships clients choose.

Sometimes, when we feel anxious or depressed, life can appear to come to a standstill. The rest of the world is moving, but we feel stuck or fearful of moving forward. As your therapist, I will provide a safe space for you to explore what may be holding you back. I will help guide you towards making positive changes and choices.

I aspire to create a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental environment that will allow you to explore and gain greater knowledge of yourself and your relationships. Through our therapeutic relationship we will identify the positive and negative patterns in your life, empowering you to make the necessary changes to meet your goals, both short and long term. I assist you in gaining insight and perspective so that new ideas and feelings can emerge and create desired changes.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.

People look for a therapist when they are experiencing anxiety,difficulties in relationships, confusion around issues related to sexuality and/or identity.

Often people are trying to cope with old hurts or injuries, and find that their old ways of coping with them are no longer successful,or that these strategies are the very thing that brings them pain or frustration.Often these symptoms and problems are connected with early painful experiences,or from ideas and beliefs which have been formed in rigid, or dysfunctional family systems.

Everyone has a story to tell and sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is share their story. When your story is holding you back from becoming the greatest version of yourself then it’s time to work through any negative messages you may have been telling yourself. I believe we all have the tools we need to accomplish our goals and sometimes we need a different perspective. I am licensed in both Connecticut and New York. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and DBT. I can also provide coaching services upon request.
