Are you looking for help with the challenges you face? Therapy can provide the supportive space to look at your life and make a change for the better. Often, relationships are at the heart of many of those challenges. You may want a better relationship with someone in your life. You may have a want to resolve the painful history of a past relationship. You may want a better relationship with yourself. Ultimately, you can have deeper and more meaningful relationships and feel better about yourself. I can help you find what you want.

My goal is to help clients overcome those difficulties that interfere with a life of authenticity, purpose and contentment. I have extensive post-graduate training and years of experience teaching other therapists child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy. Our therapeutic work may offer thoughtful questions, insights, suggestions, skills training and emotional support, drawing on an array of approaches including interpretive understanding, cognitive restructuring, problem solving, Habits of Mind principles and DBT-based affective regulation.I encourage feedback about the process, as this is often vital in refining our work together. Therapy with children and adolescents stresses careful assessment to understand what treatment approaches would be optimal.

I offer a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for clients. As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming clients. I know how important a good therapeutic experience is, as my own positive experiences in therapy inspired me to become a counselor.

Life in New York City, while exhilarating and inspiring for some, can also feel intense and overwhelming for others. As someone who strives for success, the pressures of adulthood in NYC may bring up feelings of worry and self-doubt. You might also notice some challenges in your relationships - whether with friends, partners, or family- that make it hard to form deep and lasting connections. During this phase of life, remember, you are surrounded by others who understand and empathize.

With recognition that every individual is informed by their unique experiences and environments, it is my aim to enter your reality and explore it with you through a lens of curiosity and acceptance. I warmly welcome individuals looking to navigate aspects of their life related to identity and self-esteem, life-transitions and burnout, family and interpersonal relationship dynamics, communication skills, anxiety and depression, anger management, perinatal challenges, and other presentations of life stressors.

My goal is to provide a safe space to empower my clients to face the issues that negatively impact their lives. I aim to be compassionate, authentic and nonjudgmental in order to help you build a healthier and fulfilling life.

I offer a relaxed therapeutic environment where you can process feelings at your own pace while gaining tools to navigate challenges. My specialty areas include anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, interpersonal/relationship issues and life transitions. The therapeutic style I utilize combines trauma focused approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and person centered interventions based on the specific needs of each client.

I am skilled in providing psychotherapy services related to anxiety, depression, sexuality, gender identity, roles, and expression, and life transitions. My foundation is focused on the strength of the therapeutic relationship through affirmation, collaboration, and trust. Through these methods I aim to create an open, safe environment in which clients may discuss, reflect, and create paths towards self-understanding and acceptance. ***TGNC+ identifying individuals will be given priority when it comes to session availability.***

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy—I can help you to better understand whatever issues you are facing and find resources within yourself to work through those challenges.

Do you notice patterns of behavior that you’d like to explore further? Feel dissatisfied with the way things are currently in your life? By drawing from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral (ie. CBT and ACT), and psychodynamic modalities, I empower clients to gain insight, define goals, and develop skills/tools to live meaningful lives consistent with their values. I see psychotherapy as an interactive process that can promote insight, create positive change, and foster growth. I also bring this perspective into my work with couples and families. I can provide couples/ family psychotherapy as well as discernment counseling.

Psychotherapy is the process of facing obstacles that block our growth. In a trusting therapeutic relationship one can learn to let go of fears and unhealthy patterns of behavior. Together we will create an environment where curiosity, intellect, feelings and humor allow one to evolve and change.

Informed by my previous work in documentary film and neuropsychology research, I bring together the art and the science of multiple people-centered professions. Whether in a research lab, film edit, or therapy room, I am guided by the belief that change happens as we come to understand ourselves in new and deeper ways. When we see ourselves clearly and allow ourselves to be seen by others, we become free to choose something different. From this place of knowing and being known, we will walk together into a new way of being.

I believe the potential for healing exists within everyone and that individuals hold the answers to the changes they are seeking. Our work together will focus on creating a safe and supportive environment whereby you can gain insight and understanding into the areas that are troubling you and develop the tools needed to affect change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience I have worked successfully with children, families and adults facing issues such as depression, anxiety, loss and trauma.

Throughout life you may experience times of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict, or struggles with identity or self-worth. You may feel disconnected from your emotions or overwhelmed by them. Therapy is a unique opportunity to slow down and be intentional in taking care of your mental health. I work together with clients to identify goals and create a plan to successfully achieve them. My approach is collaborative and prioritizes a strong therapeutic alliance to facilitate reflection, healing, and change.

My clients have ranged in age from young children as early as 6 to geriatric individuals in their 80s. The issues I've addressed in my work with this community include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, various psychotic disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), life transitions, couples counseling, interpersonal and relationship issues, parental management, ADHD/ADD, school performance, and social difficulties.

Therapy is a process and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek it out. I believe that all of us have in us the right tools to change our lives and achieve our goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance and support from someone who might have a different perspective. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide expert services working with adults and adolescents to strengthen their ability to overcome stress, grief and loss, anxiety and depression using specific interventions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coaching, and mindfulness training.
