Therapists in Riverdale, NY

I work with adults experiencing interpersonal conflict, family conflict, self-esteem issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and anger management. I work collaboratively with clients to explore and enhance their motivation for change. By working together, we can strengthen your drive to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through this approach, we can establish safety, trust, and empowerment in our therapeutic relationship, helping you heal and regain control over your life.

Life's challenges, past traumas or present stresses, can make us feel very overwhelmed. Deeply affecting our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. But you don't have to navigate it alone! I support adults in navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflicts, loss, depression, and anxiety, often focusing on how childhood trauma influences adulthood. Together we’ll decipher the intricate patterns of behavior that may be holding you back and grapple with hard emotions. By letting things unravel, past and present experiences, you will rediscover yourself and create the path towards transformative change.

Some paths to pursuing growth can leave you feeling labeled, picked apart, or wondering what's "wrong" with you. But I believe you are whole and complete, just as you are. Healing is a journey not toward fixing perceived damages, but toward rediscovering the wholeness that has been there all along. In our therapy sessions, I'll walk alongside you on that journey. I bring a spiritual perspective into the room that bears witness to your inherent wisdom. Through the exploration of your inner world, we'll partner in your deep healing and spiritual freedom. This is so much more than a temporary "band-aid" approach.
