Therapists in East Village, New York, NY

I believe that people come to therapy because they want to change their life for the better. I work with individuals to lighten sadness, grief or anxiety, or to gain a greater understanding of one's self. I believe that the root causes of difficulty are developmental or situational, circumstantial, or a trauma. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, safe space to explore insights, strengths and challenges. I specialize with multi-cultural and multi-racial adults, expatriates, those in multi-racial relationships, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders and addiction.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 4+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

There's really something to be said about the challenges of exploring, understanding and harnessing our very active internal lives in the attempt to make sense of it all, to feel safe in our day to day. I'm endeared to the process and feel that in order to heal we have to work with others, be it community, loved ones, or Psychologist, to gather the best parts of ourselves and turn the incredibly complicated, painful and fragile into things elegant, agile, and straight-forward. The therapeutic process as a living and breathing construction. To build and strengthen the scaffolding in order to find authenticity, uniqueness and courage

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an extensive background in research, clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, my clinical approach is informed by empirically validated treatments and techniques, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Like using psychotherapy outcome research to inform my clinical work, I employ a methodological approach to disentangling the various biological, social, and environmental factors that may be contributing to your current and past difficulties. My approach is intensely collaborative and transparent in nature.

Taking the step to enter therapy can be overwhelming and uncertain. Accepting that you need help can mean the difference between continued suffering and overcoming painful life experiences. While I have experience working with individuals with many different presenting problems, I am particularly skilled in the treatment of anxiety disorders, trauma, OCD, and all forms of addiction. Built through open communication, empathy, and non judgment, I will create a safe space to help you break free of the patterns, habits and beliefs that have kept you feeling stuck and from reaching your personal goals.

I have broad experience over twenty five years, in private practice, family agencies and clinical settings. I offer short and long term treatment for problems in living and relating. My approach is relational, with a mind-body, whole person perspective. My practice includes clinical supervision, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I often support couples in healing stuck relational dynamics; at any stage of a relationship. Having lived abroad, I work well with expats around questions of identity, acculturation and belonging. I also work with new mothers and those who have lost a parent during early adulthood.

My expertise is in working with anxiety, OCD, depression, and other difficulties, including life transitions, perfectionism, doubt/indecision, insomnia, and more. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Yale University and specialize in evidence-based therapies (i.e., ACT, ERP, and mindfulness-based CBT). In addition to being the gold-standard anxiety treatments, these approaches provide valuable tools for anyone interested in enhancing well-being and personal growth. Together, we will explore new ways to respond to thoughts and feelings and make behavioral changes, with more flexibility, awareness, self-compassion, and purpose.
