Therapists in Lenox Hill, New York, NY

Therapy is a very personal process and not everyone is ready for it. It takes motivation and courage to be able deal with our emotions and the effect that life altering events have on us. My approach is present and solution focused and look at all issue through a psychodynamic lens. I help my clients achieve their health and personal goals through life coaching and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy.

If you’ve come here, you’re likely searching for a space for your thoughts and feelings beyond what your friends, family, or partner can provide. You are looking for not only a listener and confidant, but also someone who can reflect back and help you clarify what is on your mind. In a warm, validating, and confidential space, you will gain insight into your patterns- both those that serve you well and those you wish you could change- and test out different ways of understanding and relating. Our practice includes therapists specializing in CBT, psychodynamic, internal family systems (IFS) and contemplative methods.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss who are navigating life stressors and transitions, communication and relational difficulties, and the impacts of intersecting identities of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, social class, and beyond.
