Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Tappan, NY

Balance feels elusive. You desire permission to find your own voice. Fears get in the way of asserting yourself. You are ready to take a deep dive to cultivate growth and healing in your life. And you're ready for some help in slowing down and observing yourself. You'll become aware of what your thinking and how you're feeling. You'll learn to communicate more assertively to get your needs met in all aspects of your life. You'll become empowered and embody your strength within.

Discussing our feelings can unfortunately be discouraged by our family, culture or community. This makes it very challenging to seek out guidance during difficult times in our lives. As a therapist, I partner with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed with society, employment, family, relationships or themselves. For those who have attempted to work things out on their own but realize they can use additional guidance, therapy is a healthy option. Regardless of your specific situation stress, anxiety, and depression are natural feelings that hurt. Let's find your inner strength to both start and continue the healing process.

Are you experiencing difficulty with life transitions, change in culture, career concerns, and/or relationship issues? Do you wish to find a balance with all your roles and identities?

If you are experiencing anxiety or feeling discontent as a result of change, this is the place for you. I offer culturally sensitive, holistic, evidenced based therapy to help you face change and improve your overall quality of life.
