Therapists in New York, NY

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

There are many ways that we as human beings suffer and try to cope. Layers of personal, familial, and historical trauma contribute to problematic relationship patterns, bodily pain and illness, over- or under-working, and obsessions. But these symptoms that are a source of suffering are often also expressing things that can't be expressed otherwise or pointing to aspects of living that need more care. I help my clients use words to explore these parts of self and to have new experiences, in order to make room for a life of more fullness, love, meaning, creativity, and ease.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), working together with my clients to develop a focused, personalized plan to achieve their goals. This typically includes addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through learning specific skills to take control of their emotions. I am one of the co-founders of NYCBT, a private psychology group practice in Manhattan, and I also have an office in Greenwich, CT.

If you are looking for help, it likely means you've been struggling for quite some time. Whether you are navigating relationship or sexual difficulties, anxiety, trauma, or depression, the experience of being in pain can be an isolating and lonely space. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and self-exploration to facilitate your pursuit of a life of fulfillment and meaning. I strive to work collaboratively as a team in your journey and see the therapeutic relationship as the most powerful tool to create safety in this process. I am fluent in both English and French.

Being authentic, being yourself, is harder than it sounds. It's common to struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions & relationships. We are living through difficult times and asking for help can make all the difference in starting to feel relief. As we work together, we will explore your present concerns and conflicts, reflecting upon your thoughts, feelings, patterns, as well as taking into account your family history. Within this interpersonal approach, we will identify and develop individualized coping skills that will help reduce depressive, anxious, and other difficult feelings.

Sometimes we feel stuck, that life has become unmanageable, or that we simply will never find happiness. Please know that I understand. I provide practical, empathetic, non-judgmental psychotherapy grounded in scientific research. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a warm, genuine, authentic space where you can come to understand and identify the unhelpful patterns in your life, and choose to make adjustments that clear your path forward.

I am passionate about relationship dynamics, sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication and intimacy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

As a member of the polyamorous, LGBTQ, and burner communities, I share my extensive personal and professional experience with clients.

Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.

How do we know when we're healed, "fixed", back to ourselves? There's a lightening up, a kinder voice in our heads, a bursting generosity and restored sense of purpose. And how does one get there with an integrative therapist? We start with The Here and Now. Forming I Fear/ I Wish statements. Figuring out which Selves survived that little t or Big T trauma. Listing the constricting beliefs of your Inner Critic. Inviting you (and your partner?) to play with new self-talk, role-play, power poses or traditions. Maybe diagramming intergenerational intel to re-write the future.

If you’re looking for help, there is a good chance that you've felt overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, or felt lost in your relationships or life itself. I collaborate with each individual and couple, helping them feel understood and seen, rather than jumping to any quick-fix solutions. Using principles and skills drawn from both skills based and compassion focused approaches, I strive to help clients learn more about their underlying values, sense of self, and patterns that have played out in their lives. Through this process, we work collaboratively to develop the skills and insight to move towards fulfillment and purpose.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know it is a problem, but cannot seem to control it? Maybe you engage in a different sort of self-sabotaging behavior, such as binge-eating, compulsive spending or undermining your success at work. Self-sabotaging behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, are actions we choose but they feel automatic and inescapable. Often, they serve to maintain status quos, prevent growth, and imprison us in unhappy situations. I understand the pain and hopelessness that comes from repeating the same mistakes. It is never too late to change a limiting pattern.

Therapy can be challenging, especially starting, whether it's your first time or you are looking for a new therapist. By providing a safe space for you to open up, we will explore your goals and obstacles to them. I will listen, and I will be honest, helping you on this journey called life. Maybe you are looking for help with relationships, or with anxiety, with career, or ADHD, or maybe a life transition. These are only some of the issues I work with.
