Therapists in Bronx County, NY

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

My goal as a therapist is to help guide my clients through hardships and help them gain the skills they need to cope in order to excel in all areas of their lives. Everyone’s struggles are unique and so I explore and incorporate different therapeutic approaches to best help clients achieve their goals at a pace they feel comfortable with. As a team, we will work together using these different approaches and work towards identifying how your thoughts may impact how you feel and behave. I will be here to empower you and make you feel heard every step of the way. You are never alone in this journey to a better you.

If you feel that you're struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, self-identity, and low self-confidence, you are not alone. Different stages of life come with their own challenges. If you now find yourself looking for guidance in setting achievable goals and for reclaiming the control of your own life story, I am here to help. Let me provide you a safe, warm, and confidential space where you can foster self-connection as well as develop greater awareness of your surroundings and influences. Foundations for meaningful connections with others start with a strong self-connection and recognizing your strength and abilities.

I believe it is important for clients to connect the mind and body. To facilitate this connection I help clients notice how their feelings express themselves internally. Over time, this noticing and naming increases self-compassion as well as the ability to regulate and respond effectively to one’s emotions. In addition, my past work as a writer and editor makes me particularly attuned to themes in client’s stories. Through exploring the creation of their narratives, clients better understand their unique strengths and vulnerabilities, as well as how to care for different parts of themselves.

Do you struggle with finding your balance and maintaining peace? Are you repeating the same negative patterns, feeling stagnant, ashamed, anxious and overwhelmed? I will work with you to build solutions that fit you when you have: the desire to improve any aspect of your life• trouble adjusting to a new situation or life transition• conflicts that keep you from being closer to people you care about• anxiety• depression• lack information or embarrassment about sex• questions about relationships or sexual health..... I hold space for you to discuss and explore personal related topics confidentially without shame and judgement.

Therapy is a powerful space, where you can examine and work through life stressors and deeply rooted patterns to create more fulfilling and meaningful life experiences.

While everyone’s journey through life is unique, we ultimately all want the same thing…We ALL want to be happy. Unfortunately, happiness doesn't always come easily. Our journey is full of challenges that we have to overcome in order to get back to being happy. We experience sadness and loss. We fall completely in love only to suffer heart break. Some of us go through traumatic events such as combat or a devastating accident. These situations and many more cause us to develop feelings of fear, sadness and frustration which we do our best to manage, but typically do so in an unhealthy and maladapted way.

The counseling I provide is often focused on relationship conflicts, sex-related topics, gender identity, internal family systems, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. I often see clients who may want to make improvements to their confidence, relationships, or simply have a safe space to discuss everyday issues regarding their mental well-being.

My focus is on helping my clients gain the self-knowledge and self-awareness necessary to move forward to a more comfortable and productive place. No one approach fits every person or situation and the therapeutic process always begins with the person sitting in the room. My style is always respectful, interactive and dynamic and I am passionate about my work. The art and science of the therapeutic process encourages my creativity and spontaneity and complex issues are dealt with one step at a time, from both inner and outer perspectives.

As a Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their life challenges. I am here to validate your unique experience and work with you to find strategies that fit your life. I value the strength of the therapeutic relationship and believe it is the building block from which you can bring about positive change in your life. I use an integrative approach primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solutions-focused techniques.
