Therapists in New York, NY

I am a Psychotherapist, Life Coach, and Consultant. In a career that began twenty-five years ago in the Middle East, now established in NY, I have seen clients from every conceivable background who have sought nurturing guidance to face trauma, anxiety, grief and sadness. Often, whether working with persons suffering from loss or separation, abuse victims, veterans, refugees, or families of substance abusers, I have witnessed that moment of clarity in a client when they realize there is actually hope for a better, more satisfying life. This, I believe, is the essence of therapy and I strive to smooth the path towards and beyond it.

I believe in practical and actionable psychotherapy. Therapy that is tailored to your goals and provides helpful guidance. My clients include individuals and couples from diverse professional backgrounds.

The home we seek to settle and belong is the inner home, the light we chase to enlighten our life is the inner light, and the journey we yearn to take for expansion and growth is the inner journey, all to meet the “most important person we will ever meet,” our true self. Each person’s inner journey toward healing and growth is unique. My role as a psychotherapist is to stand with you and help you, as you take steps towards a journey of self-healing and growth. A journey which may call for your courage, vulnerability, and discomfort, but it holds treasures of reintegration, expansion, transformation, and liberation.
