Are you feeling overwhelmed by the level of stress in your life? Would you like to learn helpful skills to improve your mood? Do you want to change your relationship with food and your body? If so, I am here to help. I am dedicated to providing high-quality therapy delivered with compassion and expertise. We will work closely to develop a personalized plan aimed at helping you make positive changes in a timely manner. My focus is to help you build upon your strengths, gain new skills, and achieve the personal growth you seek.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your current life circumstances? Does your life's purpose seem derailed at the moment? Are you feeling alone, where it seems that no one understands what you are going through? Perhaps there is a relationship that is causing you a significant amount of stress. Would you be interested in developing your strengths in order to better cope with your suffering and achieve your goals? I have my doctorate in psychology and specialize in the assessment and treatment of both children and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and adjustment to life stressors.

If you're feeling stuck or are having difficulty focusing, I can help you. I've worked successfully with older adolescents, adults, and couples struggling with (among other things) anxiety, depression, issues around sexuality, and relationship difficulties. Therapy is an opportunity to share your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe space. I offer a warm and supportive environment where you can express and explore ideas openly and honestly. I am active in therapy and will challenge you with constructive feedback when appropriate. Therapy may entail examining patterns in your life that block you from feeling fulfilled.

If you are feeling bad about yourself and aspects of your life, therapy can help improve your self-esteem, mood, and the quality of your life. I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with a wide range of issues. Some are confused and unhappy about their relationships or troubled by their performance at work or school. Others come into therapy because of a crisis in their lives, such as illness, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. I also see people who are having trouble adjusting to a life transition, like going away to college or becoming a parent. Still others are bothered by events from the past. Whatever the issue, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and/or angry are common.

I work with individuals, couples and families seeking change. You may be challenged by anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, difficulties in relationships or the stressors of life transitions, such as divorce or changes in your career. Like all transitions, moving through stages of adolescence, into college and onto adulthood can bring stress, uncertainty and confusion but also tremendous growth. Our work together will seek to promote self-awareness and desired change.

As a black male and a Jamaican immigrant, I understand the unique challenges that marginalized communities face in accessing mental health services. I prioritize a safe and non-judgemental therapy space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients to explore their identities and experiences, without fear of judgment or discrimination.

As a New York State licensed clinical psychologist for over 25 years, I offer a private, safe, supportive, healing environment for individuals, couples, families, professionals and groups. I am inspired by the resilience, strength and courage of the clients I work with everyday and it is my goal & commitment to help my clients to grow and live their "best lives". I believe in the importance of self awareness, insight and reflection to understand our relationships with others. I treat a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, school performance, grief, psychological evaluations and relationship issues.

With over 25 years of private practice experience, I offer individual, couples,family, and group rpsychotherapy. My expertise includes: Complex Child Custody and Divorce Proceedings, Parent Coordonation, Parent Coaching, Eating Disorders, Bariatric Surgery, Pain Management, Child/Adolescent School Difficulties, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Complicated Grief, and Infertility. In addition to having a post-graduate Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, I have studied Ayurveda, meditation, mind-body therapy, and other mindful practices. A warm place, a safe space, and a great deal of empathy (with a dose of laughter) help to bring light into the darkest places. I appreciate your strengths!

For many of us, there comes a time when something in our life feels out of balance, out of control. Perhaps it's our marriage or partnership, a family relationship, a job, our health. As a psychotherapist, I feel my goal is not to provide you with answers or advice, but to help you understand yourself, your world, and your place in it.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you are looking for a therapist, you know you want something in your life to be better and you haven't been able to make that happen on your own. You might feel stuck or overwhelmed. It doesn't have to stay that way. By looking for a therapist, you are taking the brave steps to make positive changes for yourself.

Tired of analyzing, re-analyzing and over-analyzing, but never getting anywhere? Feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly resorting to the "quick fix" and/or negative patterns of behavior? My practice offers a unique blend of PSYCHOTHERAPY & COACHING where enhanced insight/self-awareness are accompanied by an "action plan." -Designed for the "do-ers," -versus those who prefer to "talk about doing," my practice promotes forward movement through the development of greater self-esteem/self-confidence, enhanced coping skills, improved problem-solving strategies, and a core belief that one CAN achieve stated personal, relationship & career-based goals.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in East Midtown Manhattan and White Plains. I received training at NYU, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, and St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center. After completing my training, I spent sevent years on the full-time faculty at the Weill Cornell Medical College, where I treated children and adults and supervised psychology and psychiatry trainees. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families with a variety of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

As a Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience in couples/marital therapy, I am skilled at addressing communication difficulties, loss of connection, infidelity & abuse. In individual therapy I specialize in treating relationship concerns, interpersonal struggles, family conflict, trauma, anxiety/depression, & self-esteem issues. My therapeutic style is flexible and intuitive, but I firmly believe that the strongest indicator of successful psychotherapy is the connection between counselor and patient, so my goal is to develop true, meaningful rapport with all of my clients (with a healthy dose of humor mixed in!).

My therapeutic style is warm, direct and highly interactive. I am not a passive listener, I provide lots of feedback and I don't shy away from using a blend of good humor when appropriate. I specialize in individual therapy but also love working with couples and seeing how they grow stronger together and make lasting changes in their relationships. I have extensive experience in mental health field, in various settings and populations (including supervising psychiatric emergency room). Let's talk via phone today to see if we are a good fit. :)

Congratulations to you for taking this initial step forward into your wellness journey. Through compassion, empathy, and attention, I provide a safe space for you to flourish and to grow as you address and heal your wounded parts. By establishing a warm and welcoming space, my goal is to help you to reach tangible goals and to have meaningful transformation. Together, we will do the required work to improve relationship to oneself so you can show up as your true authentic self,

We strive to live a full life with a gratifying career, satisfying and supportive relationships, and an all around feeling that we are expressing our unique and creative self in the world. But we can be stuck in achieving these goals by depression, anxiety, problems in our relationships, career difficulties, grief, traumatic events. At times like these, we can benefit greatly by the support and experience of a professional to regain our foothold in life, or to work through long standing difficulties that have kept us from living fully.

Psychotherapy is an endeavor that many people seek to improve the overall quality of their lives. Whether one is experiencing conflict within relationships, difficulties coping with stress, a specific life problem, or acute symptoms, the insights, skills and increased awareness that come from psychotherapy can be invaluable. I work with patients to help create and maintain satisfying relationships, decrease emotional distress, develop healthy and effective coping strategies, cultivate self esteem and healthy self image, and increase satisfaction with life.

Are the following thoughts familiar to you? "I feel so alone" "They don’t understand me" "I need help". Do you struggle with feeling not good enough or that you're failing to move forward? Whether in your romantic relationship or personally, I’m here to help you find relief. Most individuals I work with are looking to process confusing feelings. Couples I work with are often looking for support getting back on the same page; or navigating a consensual non-monogamous (open) relationship. I’m a queer woman who provides therapy to those desiring a change by actively working to change patterns they find themselves stuck in.
