I am certified in EMDR, practice Brief Solution Focused Therapy, CBT, MindfulnessTherapy, and Existential Therapy grounded in kindness and emotional generosity.
To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

I incorporate practices of exposure-response prevention (ERP), intuitive eating, existential philosophy, as well as reframing your thoughts and creating meaningful experiences.
If you are struggling with feelings of being "lost" or are having a hard time navigating your way through significant life changes, then I might be the therapist for you. Often dealing with these changes can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, or disempowerment. Clients may also see me with problems relating to relationship/dating concerns, college transitions, eating disorders, body image issues, and grief. In counseling with me, I aim to uplift, encourage, and assist you on your path to peace and wellness. I want nothing more than for you to feel empowered and confident in your ability to achieve your goals.

My approach is informed by Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Neuroscience and Existential theory.
There is no single way to live a fulfilling life. All of us need a safe place to talk about what we're experiencing. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person is an essential part of transformation. This is especially true when done in a therapeutic environment where you can explore new ideas and make your own decisions about your life without fear of intrusion from the other. My clinical intention is to help clients see and experience themselves in a new way.

Psychotherapy is about becoming conscious of who you are, and how you impact your world. People come for psychotherapy when the ways in which they are acting, behaving, and living in the world are no longer working well for them.
All kinds of events can shake us up to the point where we need help to adjust to something new.
I like to think psychotherapy is an experience in which you can focus on feelings that keep you stuck, and on feelings that help you grow. It is a place to find your own creative solution to how best to live life.

Depression, anxiety, isolation, co-dependency, suicidal ideas, are almost always manifestations of unresolved Trauma. Sadly, trauma is all too prevalent in our world, and people often believe they have little power to overcome it. Medication to reduce symptom intensity is important in a crisis. Its value in these moments is unparalleled. But while it can suppress your symptoms, it does not heal you in the long term. Have faith that you are RESILIENT! You have amazing strength and an inner healing intelligence. My role will be to guide you through the healing process so you can begin to live with self-love and hope.

Born in NYC and graduating Columbia University with an MS in Social Work I became a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist working with a broad range of individuals, couples and families from a variety of cultures. As a seasoned therapist I’ve treated a wide range of issues in a clinical setting. Communication between parent and child and in couples is key and techniques to help diminish negative behaviors like blame and reactivity are used. Defining some of the underlying causes for behavior, creating an alliance and defining goals will put you on the fast track to feeling reassured and functioning better with one another.

Finding someone you feel comfortable with is important when searching for a therapist. Clients say I am warm, compassionate and non-judgmental, and provide a comfortable, relaxed and safe environment. My style is down to earth, and you will find it easy to talk to me and feel understood. My clients are individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, employment or relationship problems, or various life transitions. They may feel anxious, sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or confused. Sometimes they feel overwhelmed by their feelings, relationships, or life circumstances. Managing work or school, family and friendships is often demanding and stressful.

The psychotherapeutic relationship can be helpful for many issues, including relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. People tend to get caught in patterns of behavior that are not constructive, yet they cannot seem to find ways out of these patterns. Therapy can give you a space to explore these patterns and the feelings that go along with them, and to then work toward changing these patterns in a constructive manner. The process can lead to a more vital and fulfilled life.

Existential Therapists
How does existential therapy work?
Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.
Is existential therapy evidence-based?
Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.
How long does existential therapy last?
The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is existential therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
