Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in New York, NY

I specialize in providing empowering individual therapy for adults of all ages and backgrounds. I value diversity, individuality, authenticity, acceptance, and compassion. I build my professional relationship with clients by establishing safety, trust, and openness. I see clients with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, mood fluctuations, sexual dysfunction, professional challenges, and many others. I utilize a client-centered approach to create an individual plan consisting of a variety of therapeutic modalities to promote change, growth, awareness, and empowerment.

Starting or returning to therapy can be overwhelming. With this in mind, I work collaboratively with clients to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for clients to explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and heal at their own pace. I specialize in working with PTSD and relational trauma (childhood abuse/ neglect, sexual abuse/assault), sexual/gender identity, grief/loss, body image, and relationship issues.

Thank you for clicking on my page! I welcome you as a possible client. Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to grow and develop. Taking the risk of exploring ourselves can be really meaningful. I use several different models of therapy, including EMDR, DBT and IFS to help clients get to know themselves better, connect to their inner child and ultimately heal.

Understanding the dynamics behind the repeating processes in your life, whether they are symptoms or undesirable patterns, is the first step for meaningful and durable change.

Our thoughts come from our emotions which are created by our experiences and influences in our lives. These thoughts affect our beliefs, perceptions and actions. They have become ingrained in us appearing to be natural or instinctual. You have the power to change this pattern and maximize your potential and happiness in all areas of your life; interpersonal and professional. My hope is through our therapeutic relationship we discover the positive and negative patterns in your life, learning techniques and resolutions which will allow you to be the architect of your future.

I take an eclectic approach to therapeutic modalities, incorporating psychodynamic and relational approaches with specific CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills.
