The therapy process can be a daunting endeavor. As humans, we heal and grow through building trusting relationships, allowing us to surrender to inner work that promotes change and heightens our connectedness with ourselves and others. Through building on your strengths and offering therapy tailored to your needs, my goal is to meet you where you are at and to support you in identifying ways you can live in alignment with your values and core self. Together, we will explore the intersections of physical and psychological health, cultural identities, relational dynamics, and their collective impact on your overall wellbeing.
I believe that a strong alliance is at the core of all successful experiences in therapy. I will integrate a range of trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapies (i.e. CBT, DBT, & ACT), internal family systems (IFS), EMDR, somatic experiencing (SE) and psychodynamic therapy techniques, and tailor treatments to meet your distinct needs.
Call or email me now for a free 30 minute consultation. Research tells us that the quality of the therapeutic alliance is an important predictor of treatment outcomes. We will discuss your experiences and identify your preferences for therapy to ensure we are a good fit. I am licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
