Therapists in North Tarrytown, NY

Are you looking to process past experiences that impact your relationships, daily life, or how you see yourself? Do you often prioritize the needs of others and find it hard to focus on yourself? I’m here to help you gain insight into your experiences, understand what you need, and communicate with others more effectively.

My core philosophy is that therapy is not reserved for those who cannot help themselves; rather, it is a powerful tool for those who actively seek self-improvement. I firmly believe that you are the ultimate authority on your own life. I focus on building genuine and collaborative relationships, where I tap into your innate creativity, insights, and resilience to cultivate healthy coping mechanisms, facilitating personal growth and healing. Within this safe and supportive space I encourage you to embrace discomfort on the path toward genuine empowerment; helping you shift from reacting to life to actively responding to it.

I work as a psychotherapist and coach in New York, using a relational and solution-focused approach to support clients in living out their values, improving their health and functioning, and deepening their sense of meaning, purpose and wellbeing. My work is influenced by mind-body and compassion-focused therapies, positive psychology, attachment theory, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My work is heavily informed by the years I spent as a behavioral scientist and researcher exploring meaning and mindfulness-based approaches to behavior change and optimal functioning.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where 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. Rize-Up Together 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.

You deserve to be seen and heard for who exactly you are, even if you aren’t quite sure who that is yet. I’ll meet you where you are at, utilizing your own strengths, creativity, and interests to help cultivate change and healing. As a creative arts therapist, I can help you explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with gentle curiosity. I am here to help you learn how to regulate, feel safe, grounded, and at home in your body. I combine verbal psychotherapy with creative arts therapies to help develop insight into the reasons that have brought you, your child, or your family to therapy.

As an eclectic therapist, I utilize the approaches that best suit the needs of my clients. I am a firm believer in life-long learning and borrowing best practices. While I am psychodynamically trained and often practice through a psychodynamic lens, my treatment and interventions lend themselves to a person-centered approach. It is my ethical responsibility to provide you with the care that best suits your needs.

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

Born in Bronx New York, I graduated Columbia University in 1989 with an MS in Social Work and became a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist helping individuals and couples thrive. I also use DBT and ACT to create a Psychodynamic Counseling approach.

Mood shifts and alcohol and other drug use is also addressed as it influences the stability of your mood. I will provide a free consultation at your convenience.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist experienced with children, adolescents, adults and couples. My approach is pragmatic - meaning I focus on doing what works!

I'm active in sessions and will always check in with you to make sure you're getting the most out of therapy. I also enjoy working with kids and families offer parent support and coaching.

Feeling alone, anxious, sad, hurt, or depressed in this uncertain world? It's difficult to bear alone. This often interferes with every day life, if not peace of mind. Maybe I can help you. Practicing for many years as a psychotherapist, I have come to know what a difference it makes when you have a trusted empathic person to talk to. I provide a safe, confidential space and hope to form that empathic understanding bond with you. It is there that you can discuss your fears and/or anxieties, and find resolutions and options in your life where you feared there were none.
