Grief, loss, illness and caregiving can change the ways we feel about ourselves, our lives and our future. The impacts can be immense, and intersect with everything else we've been through in our lives. Many people find that working with a specialized therapist offers an additional level of support when it's difficult to cope. Whether you or someone close to you were recently diagnosed or living with an illness for years, caring for someone else, work in healthcare or whether you lost someone or something important to you, please reach out.

Sharing your individual difficulties, fears, desires, and dreams can be a challenging experience. Therefore, I focus on building a warm and safe therapeutic environment for introspection and self-discovery. I believe that we frequently we have the tools inside of us to heal our struggles and I seek to help you uncover those tools in therapeutic work. As a queer black woman, I understand it can be tough to find spaces to authentically express your true feelings, as well as get validation and support. I have experience holding space and processing the challenges that can arise from holding multiple marginalized identities.

Be yourself - everyone else is taken! My practice focuses on people struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, and anxiety. These often manifest as difficulties in romantic, social, and work success. I help my clients feel better about themselves, less alone, and more capable of loving and being loved. My clients end up feeling more comfortable in their own skins and engage in life, work, and relationships with greater confidence.

I believe that everyone deserves to have happy, healthy and successful relationships, both with themselves & with the people in their life. Therapy is a process of learning and discovery that can help you heal. I want to be able to guide and encourage you, while also creating an environment where conversation is welcome. I believe in your value and worth as an individual and the dignity of making your own choices. You’re the expert on your own life and you should be treated as such. My approach includes empathy, authenticity and paying attention to how you are feeling in the moment.

Finding the key to happiness, I have always believed, comes from understanding yourself and coming to terms with who you are. I work very compassionately, without judgment, in a collaborative fashion, to help facilitate greater self- acceptance and equanimity. Whether we investigate your own family dynamics or process through Emotionally Focused Therapy, sessions will help uncover the underlying emotional beliefs that direct your own internal "story".

If you are feeling disconnected and unhappy in your primary relationship it is possible to get "unstuck", to rekindle the connection you once felt and to feel hopeful about your future together. The most frequent signs of distress - poor communication, distancing and withdrawing, criticizing/blaming, arguments that "go no where"' can create a cycle of despair that takes over your relationship and becomes the enemy of both of you. As an Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist, I can help you recognize and change your negative cycle and create a more intimate, satisfying lasting relationship.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience in the mental health field. I served on the faculty of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine for 12 years, and was the Director of Training of the medical school's Clinical Psychology Internship program, where I taught and supervised psychotherapy. Over the years, I have practiced a variety of therapy approaches, and have distilled down the methods that have been most effective. I strive to provide empathy and clear understanding, and bring focus to help clients understand and work through problematic patterns of thinking and feeling.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the vehicle for lasting growth and change. Using a collaborative, integrative approach to treatment, we will work together to determine goals for treatment and then work toward achieving those goals. I believe in accessing and exploiting the strengths you bring to the treatment, as well as understanding how your particular culture and background have impacted your life experience. In addition, I do not believe that psychotherapy can be successful unless it occurs in a safe and supportive environment, which I strive to create and maintain.

Hello and welcome! With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety/phobias, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, weight/body concerns, and trauma.

I strive to be a therapist who is challenging and direct without being judgmental; is open-minded and encouraging of my clients to explore options in their lives that may be different than my own or others around them. I am someone who doesn't rush to diagnose and pathologize, but rather seeks to understand. I am not invested in the choices my clients make, I am invested in my clients making choices from a place of wholeheartedness. And specifically, I have a keen understanding of the intricacies of intimacy and sexuality within relationship to oneself and community. As long as we "fail forward" together, we are perfectly imperfect

I specialize in working with people who want to improve their relationships, whether that be with others or themselves.

I also work with couples who are having challenges breaking negative patterns that keep them from growing as a couple and who want to have a more loving, trusting relationship. I am currently out-of-network with Aetna and Cigna.

I work with couples and individuals in couples counseling and psychotherapy. My approach is collaborative, interactive, engaged, to be "in it with you." I believe that core and primary emotions, when explored and shared in a safe environment with a secure other, can achieve the transformation we desire--toward relief, confidence, an expanded sense of self, authenticity, happiness, peace, joy, meaning and depth, satisfaction, openness and nurturing, loving relationships.
