Therapists in Hawthorne, NY

As a trans therapist, I am invested in your definition of happiness. In our sessions, you'll discover a secure space to open up and build a deeper connection with your authentic self. Through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, you will unlock inner healing by getting to know young "parts" or "selves." Over time you will become more grounded in your body and navigate life's uncertainties with greater ease.

Do you sometimes have a hard time accepting parts of yourself or your feelings that you are experiencing? Perhaps you know what you should do, but just can't do it no matter how much advice others give you. Or perhaps you feel sad, angry or stuck and don't see a way out. Therapy can be a place where you can gain clarity regarding your feelings, needs and desires as well as a place to look at parts of yourself you might be scared to look at. You are never one identity, one feeling, one experience, but rather many all at once. Life is hard, especially under captialism and systemic oppression. You got this, one step at a time.

Hello and welcome! Are you grappling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low-self esteem, body image issues, parenting, relationship and/or work issues? I have over 20 years of experience helping my clients to live happier, more effective, peaceful lives.

Are you going through a life transition and find yourself feeling immobilized or overwhelmed? Are anxious or intrusive thoughts preventing you from staying fully present in your life and with the people you love? The good news is that things can absolutely get better. I work with adults confronting anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma, and relationship struggles. I have a passion for perinatal mental health including fertility journeys, birth trauma, and postpartum struggles, and love working with parents to explore and discover the ways that raising children can deepen our understanding of our own patterns and inner history.

Do you feel stuck in your relationships, longing for more connection with the people around you, but instead feel overwhelmed and unsatisfied? I am a licensed psychologist with more than 15 years of experience, helping people improve their relationships, alleviate anxiety, and create a greater sense of meaning in their lives. Together, we'll develop practical solutions that will help you feel more fulfilled and better equipped to handle life's challenges. ​

Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adapting and coping? Do you struggle to believe that you ARE capable of finding the light through the dark road you're traveling? If so, I truly get it. I can professionally and personally attest to the challenges AND triumphs of getting through big life transitions. While I wish I could eradicate all difficult emotions and experiences you're facing, my goal is to help you move through them more effectively. You deserve to live in a better way. "Better" IS possible.

Do you want to be less reactive and more intentional? Do you wish for the focus to do what you need to do? Do you often feel anxious, but not sure why? You’re in the right place. In recognizing a need, and seeking help, you've taken a huge step towards a more aligned life. When we realize that own minds, not just life circumstances, can create barriers to our happiness, we're on the right path. I specialize in working with creative people, those perhaps labelled "too sensitive", or who have ADHD and/or anxiety, and are actively working to enhance their relationships, find purposeful work and listen to their own inner guidance.

I work to support my patients in growing the joy, serenity, and satisfaction in your lives. When you feel ready to tackle the challenges in your life through psychotherapy, you are already taking a brave step by calling me for a consultation.

I work through an understanding of how your struggles came about, and generate creative solutions to make change in your life. We can work one on one, or with you and others involved.

My work is influenced by mind-body and compassion-focused therapies, positive psychology, attachment theory, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My work is heavily informed by the years I spent as a behavioral scientist and researcher exploring meaning and mindfulness-based approaches to behavior change and optimal functioning.

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

My lens in psychotherapy is informed by the principle of organicity; that every person has within them tremendous wisdom and the ability to heal. I view psychotherapy as a journey to assist the client in clearing the boundaries to their own unique healing path. I work with many different evidence based modalities including IFS, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which provide many different lenses and approaches to working with a variety of presenting problems. My primary focus is on Trauma, both upper case "T" and lower case "t" as well as addictions- with males from 12 to adulthood. Looking forward to crossing paths soon!
