Therapists in New York, NY

Do you find yourself yearning for connection, yet struggle to voice your wants and needs in your relationships? Are you navigating the complexities of relationships, grappling with the pressure to be "perfect" and make family, friends, and partners happy? Do you feel out of control when different emotions emerge, leaving you afraid and isolated? Are you tired of seeking outside approval? Tired of feeling small and quiet? Maybe you have an understanding where some of these challenges you face have come from. Maybe you're seeking deeper understanding. Whatever it may be, I can help you navigate the problems you're facing internally.

I believe that understanding ourselves and how we've been impacted by life experiences is essential for personal growth. Through self-exploration, clients can identify behavior patterns and life perspectives that no longer meet their needs. Clients will be empowered to develop approaches to obstacles that allow them to connect to their strengths. In my practice I integrate: EMDR, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavior therapy, internal family systems and mindfulness work.

I have over 9 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults of all ages in individual, family, couples, and group psychotherapy. Clients see me for a wide range of issues. I have worked with challenges regarding identity development, relationships, trauma, depression/anxiety, addictions, suicidality, self-harm, anger management, compulsive behaviors, autism, and ADHD among many other things. I've also worked extensively in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, and those dealing with systemic inequities and challenges.

Ideal clients are open to change, introspection, and vulnerability.

It's my experience that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Feeling safe with your therapist is paramount, and it's what I prioritize in my own practice. I want you to feel comfortable to be vulnerable, and explore yourself.

Life can be so overwhelming between work, family, friends and daily responsibilities. Between the whirlwind of emotions experienced throughout the day and balancing the needs of all the people in our lives, it can be so hard to breathe and prioritize ourselves. We can find ourselves saying "yes" to tasks and events when we really should say "no." We can find ourselves overthinking our to-do lists and feeling overwhelmed, sad or anxious at the end of the day.
