Therapists in North Tarrytown, NY

If you are looking for real change in your life but feel stuck, you are not alone. I work with people who want to live a different version of their life but feel hopeless that it can change. Sometimes anxiety, depression, life changes, or past childhood trauma have knocked us down along the journey of life. It is not your fault. Sometimes you are having difficulty getting started on your journey or you need help maintaining your progress. Maybe you are new to therapy or you have gone throughout your life.

I am a therapist committed to developing a therapeutic relationship focused on sorting out the places you are stuck in your life-whether inside or in your connections with others. I am effective in helping you clear the way to take steps to reach your life goals and be your best self.

I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Trauma Systems Therapy (TST) and various play therapy techniques.

Whatever brings you to therapy is valid and worthy of exploration. Perhaps you sometimes struggle to feel connected to your emotions or to your body. You're noticing patterns or recurring challenges in relationships that you want to better understand. You feel exhausted from performing aspects of your life and want to tap into your authenticity and explore your identity. You've experienced trauma and want to process it safely. You're impacted by institutionalized racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, fatphobia and are seeking empowerment and healing. You crave deeper more satisfying relationships with others and yourself.

Whatever feels “off” in your life—depression, unhealthy boundaries, a dead-end career, anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem—is a symptom of a larger problem: an unbalanced and under-appreciated Self. Just like a fever lets us know we have an infection, life problems let us know something deep within us isn’t right. We don’t blame the fever, we thank it for alerting us to the bigger problem. Using life’s challenges as a guide, we work together to build the foundation of self you need in order to live an enriching and fully human life. This deep work benefits not only yourself but also your loved ones and the rest of our human family.

My practice and philosophies are unconventional, existential and relationally -focused. How conscious you are while experiencing attachment within our therapeutic dynamic is a rich, nuanced, living model of your history and unintegrated wounds. My niche lies in the realm of unveiling unconscious influences, healing fragmented child parts, and bringing forth higher alignment between your internal and external worlds. I enjoy building an environment that supports the creation of your story, because it deserves to take up space and you deserve to be heard.

For me, psychotherapy is offering patience, understanding, insight, acceptance, compassion, relationship, and a secure base to persons suffering from burdens too heavy to carry alone. I compare myself to a container into which my patients pour their unbearable feelings. My task is to detoxify these feelings and make them easier to understand and tolerate. I help my patients to use healthy relationships with others to meet their emotional needs and the emotional needs of others. To establish and maintain healthy relationships, we work in session on understanding our own and others’ mental states (wishes, feelings, intentions) and how these are connected to how we behave toward each other. Relationships tend to work better when we are able to understand our own and others’ minds and how our minds influence how we behave toward each other.

Are you an adult navigating the challenges of school, career, and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your future? I am a biracial and multicultural psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults, couples, and college and graduate students.

I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to help you reclaim your life and flourish.

Do you struggle with challenging emotions or symptoms of trauma? With over 30 years experience working with children, teens and adults, my attachment based approach combines didactic and somatic approaches to best fit the needs of every client. Children need a safe and playful space to work through difficult issues. Expressive arts approaches and DBT methods are effective when words are not enough. My compassionate and down to earth process examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and symptoms of trauma.

We will look at the details of your life and discover patterns of behaviors to understand who you are and who you want to be. I will help you connect the dots between your experiences and help clarify your needs. In session you will work to increase your insight, awareness, and self-worth.
