Therapists in Midtown West, New York, NY

I work with individuals and couples who are courageously facing the desire to improve the quality of relationships in their lives-with themselves, and with others. A recent focus in my practice has been my work with people who are experiencing low-mood, distress, anger, and episodes of rage which have escalated since the pandemic changed so much for so many. Talk-therapy can be a useful process to safely, gently, and intentionally begin to unpack what is at the core of unsettling thoughts, feelings, and perhaps dis-regulated behaviors. Learning how to self-regulate is possible and so often is a beginning of substantial change.

We each want the best life we can make for ourselves. Everyone has potential that has not been developed or utilized enough. Whether one has symptoms of depression, anxiety, problematic relationships or anger difficulties, each one of us can progress to remove symptoms and develop our unique personalities more. That is what keeps me excited about my work after so many years of practice as a psychotherapist. I help people to accomplish their goals and improve their abilities to get more out of life, including their relationships. We are complex beings, filled with so much untapped potential.

I support individuals who struggle with relationships, who have difficulty advocating for themselves and who are transitioning through challenging times. We will explore and validate how your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors helped you survive earlier stressors but currently limit you. We will bring a greater awareness and a deeper understanding of your feelings. Over time, you will be able to release defensive habits that prevent access to your true nature - authenticity, integrity, and passion. I am here to support your journey of healing and growth so you can create the life that you long for.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Distance Certified Counselor who works with individual adult clients. As a wellness advocate and educator, I utilize integrated evidence based practices to support clients with exploring their lives in ways that aim to produce improved personal mental and emotional health. I welcome those who are working through issues related to feeling anxious or depressed or stressed out, as well as concerns related to work/career, cultural /multicultural, life transitions, assertiveness and anger management.

I have decades of experience helping individuals and couples achieve positive change through an engaged active process. I work with challenging situations like loss, career or relationship problems. I help people alleviate the effects of depression, anxiety, anger or low self esteem. I help clients manage the pressure of lives that are too busy, or get to know and express themselves more deeply. I help couples with problems that drive them apart, learn to communicate and resolves them. This enables them to rebuild loving suppportive relationships.

I see talk therapy as a vital tool to help us build the lives we want and the world we desire. It’s my pleasure to work with people on the hunt for joy and freedom, and those looking for a sense of intimacy and trust to anchor their explorations. Many of us lead lives haunted by the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden. With patience and warm interest, I invite you to bring your curiosity to bear on whatever lives inside you: anger, envy, despair, wild hope, and other inconvenient feelings. When we unearth our longings, we can reckon with their powerful undertow and harness their energy to transform our lives for the better.

I am currently seeing clients virtually in New York, Florida and California. Don't Stay Stuck in the Yuck! Counseling and Change can feel scary and overwhelming while staying "stuck" where you are can be even more difficult. It takes time to build trust with a therapist, this can be even more difficult if you have been mandated to treatment or had a bad fit with a therapist in the past. I understand this and want you to feel comfortable and empowered in therapy. No matter what you have experienced in your past or what brings you to treatment, you can THRIVE!

Are you a person who wants to live more of an authentic life, but are struggling with issues that keep you stuck and repeating old patterns? Do you feel sadness, lack of motivation, anger, or worry?

Well, answer me this...do you WANT to feel aligned with who you truly are, experiencing more joy, relatedness, and flow?

Therapy is an opportunity to discover our unique individual humanity and gives us the tools to get to know ourselves in a more true and authentic way. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them access the full range of their creative potential. My practice combines traditional, alternative and contemporary approaches that are rooted in psychodynamic, gestalt, and mindfulness orientations. My approach is humanistic, interactive, and present centered.

Most of us don't welcome difficult emotions; we try to disregard them, because we perceive them as our enemy. In fact, all of our emotions are signals that inform us about ourselves and the world around us, if we can learn to listen to them. When we accept all sides of ourselves and all of our feelings without discriminating against the negative ones, we are able to feel emotionally alive and connected. Psychological suffering occurs not because of our painful emotions, but because we try to erase them, and don't know what to do with them.

For more than 20 years I have been an expert in working with adults and couples in a compassionate, respectful, non-judgmental way. I specialize in improving love and work relationships. I am a focused listener who provides a safe environment for discussing troubling feelings. I can help you learn more about yourself, identify your strengths, gain a new perspective, as well as recognize and change destructive behavior patterns. Together we will work on the issues that are interfering with your relationship satisfaction or career success and explore solutions. I can help you be your best self!

Making the decision to pursue therapy can be a complex one. Whether it's better understanding your relationship with substances, tolerating a difficult life situation, striving for balance, or if the goal is self-exploration and the issues have been longstanding, the journey of psychotherapy can be an opportunity to grow. Building strengths in a safe, supportive partnership can pave way towards living a more satisfying life. Many people I work with are intelligent, creative, and accomplished individuals struggling with substances, who believe they would benefit from working with someone to explore and resolve such issues in service of thriving.

Asking for help can be difficult. Seeking professional support can feel overwhelming. I approach treatment from a solution focused lens. Our therapy will focus largely on helping you to develop the skills and tools needed to reach your goals and live a meaningful life. My expertise is in both addiction treatment and behavioral therapies [DBT and CBT]. This allows me to approach treatment with knowledge and experience supported by research while also employing a wholly individualized approach, understanding each person has unique needs.

Often in life we are faced with the unknown; the relationships, situations and experiences that may be or can feel outside of our control. With this uncertainty, fear often follows close behind. Everything can begin to feel a bit out of place. We temporarily lose our way. We do live in uncertain times which has greatly increased stressors and fears. However, what is also true is that we have this beautiful ability to adapt and continue to connect to joy. Connection is key. In our journey together, we will learn to embrace the uncertainty in life through a better understanding of you, leading to genuine healing.

Are you tired of dead-end dating and disappointing relationships? It's another endless coffee date and you wonder is it me? Perhaps you are in a committed relationship that has lost its spark. You no longer feel special. What's happened to us you wonder? Maybe you are tortured by thoughts of the one who got away and obsess about him daily, but do nothing. Or, maybe you're just too scared to get out there and try online dating and tell yourself it's not for me. Imagine beginning each day with an affectionate moment. Imagine a partner who gets you. Life is so delightful when shared with a loving partner.

Feeling alone or disconnected despite being in a relationship or in a city of millions? Feeling unfulfilled despite having "it all" or professional success? The human experience is full of complexities and contradictions that can often disrupt our world and lead to suffering. In the midst of distress, seeking therapy is an act of courage and an investment in your wellbeing. Few things are as powerful as having a trusting and supportive environment in which you can share your inner world.
