I believe in the power of therapy to help individuals better understand themselves and their relationships. I specialize in providing therapy to individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, family/relationship conflicts, life transitions, trauma, and racial/gender discrimination. I aim to create a secure and compassionate environment for individuals and couples from marginalized communities. Utilizing a therapeutic lens that involves integrating an individual's identity, culture, and lived experience while we address your concerns.

The first step you take, that moment when you pause to reflect on, “how am I doing? Why am I feeling this way?” is so very important. Life comes in the way of dreams and of loving relationships. And reflecting on where you are in this whole process often gets neglected. When things go well, one can feel that one’s choices are the right ones, but when conflicts arise, when anxiety mounts, and depression sets in, then you know something is amiss. When we first meet I will ask you questions about your concerns, your worries; together we will think about what’s getting neglected, prioritized, what you value, what you wish for yourself.

There are different parts of us that are hidden from others, wounded, and eager to be validated. I acknowledge, aim to understand, and work towards healing those parts. Therapy with me is relational, collaborative, and non-judgemental. The therapeutic relationship is a space where you can experience a corrective emotional experience that can help you to develop more meaningful and deeper relationships. Ultimately, I will strive to build understanding and insight into your relationships and defenses that are inhibiting them from reaching your full potential.

Are you a new mom or contemplating motherhood? Pregnant, and feeling nervous or blue? Or, perhaps you recently had a baby and are feeling overwhelmed? At a time we are expected to be joyous, many women are enduring stress: hormonal fluctuations, professional/personal role changes, feelings of loss of a previous life, tension in relationships with family members, sleep deprivation and isolation. As a psychologist with 15 years experience, I am uniquely positioned to help women as they contemplate issues relating to motherhood. You can also join my support groups for new/2nd time mothers at the 92Y Parenting Center.

All kinds of things bring people into therapy. Many of my clients are struggling with some kind of relationship issue, whether it’s a stressful workplace dynamic, a conflict with a partner, friends or family, or challenges navigating the dating world. Many also feel stuck in some indescribable way – in their careers, with unhealthy habits or with feeling like they’re somehow not in the driver’s seat. I see myself as a facilitator and a guide. I’ll help you understand all the different parts of yourself, connect you to your inner voice, and learn to recognize the relationship patterns you find yourself repeating.

Are you and your partner struggling to hear each other, break free from repetitive cycles, or regulate your emotions? Does it feel like your relationship is unbalanced, past hurts need to be healed, or that intimacy is lacking? Maybe you're in a new relationship and just want to start off on the right foot. Relationship satisfaction is a major predictor of overall well-being. So let's work together to expand the fulfillment and pleasure you get from your relationship and your sex life.

My work is my passion.

People enter therapy looking for results and relief. I like to identify issues quickly and focus on alleviating distress. In addition to couples counseling and general practice with individuals, I run support groups for adoptive parents. Parenting is a challenge. Adoptive parenting has additional challenges. My groups offer a safe space to explore issues and receive support. I take great pleasure in engaging people and offering an environment that allows people to arrive at unique solutions to their lives. I work with individuals, couples and groups.

We often experience our greatest pains and joys in the context of our relationships with others. In my approach to therapy, I create a safe, supportive environment to assist exploration of emerging patterns and themes. I believe in building a collaborative treatment relationship. With increased awareness, people find they have more options for improving their relationships and meeting their life goals.

For some, therapy provides a space to address an acute crisis, chronic symptoms or to expand awareness of oneself and sometimes a mix of all three. I believe therapy is most impactful when it is tailored to each person’s unique needs and concerns. This looks different for everyone and might even look different throughout your journey. Good therapy can help you to make the changes you have been struggling with, identify the patterns that might be holding you back and ultimately help you to create a more fulfilling life.

We are a group of Psychotherapists, each one specializing in a different area, to be able to provide expert treatment in specific needed areas.

I believe every dysfunction, every disorder, and every pain was somehow born to cope with life and protect the best parts of us. In the journey towards healing, we all need a power greater than ourselves (call it God, love, or family...) to provide acceptance, support, and a safe place to unravel. Counseling is an invitation to come and be; to take an honest look at yourself for who and what you really are; to realize your issues make sense; and to have compassion for all parts of you so you can holistically heal and function at your full potential.

Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage, and it also probably means you have been doing your best to address your personal issues for some time now. I work from the vantage point that growth is always possible no matter how dire or stuck you may feel. In my practice, I use an eclectic therapeutic approach that stresses reflection, support, validation, collaboration, and aims to foster the insights and behaviors needed for change.
