Choosing a therapist for yourself or your family in NYC can be a daunting task. I specialize in work with children, teens, and adults and am here to help you with this process as all individuals can benefit from talking with someone who is honest, direct, and compassionate.

Are you fighting too much with your partner? Are you feeling unable to do the things you want in your life? Are you feeling crippled by sadness or anxiety? Making the decision to talk to a professional, a stranger for that matter, can feel quite uncomfortable. And yet, it is exactly the right decision necessary for getting your life on the track you want. I work with young adults, professionals, and couples to transform their lives from one that is limiting to one that is productive, fulfilling and limitless.

Seeking therapy, or asking for help is never an easy step. And yet, if you are here, it is probably because you are looking for some answers, guidance, and a trustful environment where you can talk about whatever difficult situation you are going through. By making the first step, you are showing courage and together we can help you feel empowered and learn to embrace your individual strengths to better cope with life hardships. In a warm, safe, and empathetic environment, I help people feel more in control of their own lives and get a better understanding of what they want for themselves.

Trust and engagement are the hallmarks of effective treatment and I offer both to people who decide to work with me. I have an active approach towards treatment and believe in focused solutions for everyday challenges .You fill find an active listener who offers a safe environment to discuss and explore life’s challenges in a non - judgmental space. I bring over 25 years of clinical experience working with issues of anxiety,depression,marital/relationship issues, Utilizing a combination of psychodynamic , short term solution focused and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. My work is based on trust, engagement, and respect.

Everyday you have a choice to be your highest and best self. My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you discover your true 'authentic' self and encourage you to rely upon your own inner wisdom, strength, and resilience to overcome the challenges you face. I incorporate an integrated and relational approach to psychotherapy that addresses the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels of healing. I tailor sessions to meet client's unique needs and life experiences. I utilize treatment strategies from various modalities. The journey is to do the inner work... to Be, to Heal and to Live.

My work is informed by extensive experience in evidence based practices, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapies. In addition to receiving training at The Ackerman Institute for the Family, I have worked with families, couples, young adults and adolescents to resolve relationship, self esteem and emotional difficulties.

Are you or your child experiencing difficulties adjusting to separation, divorce, trauma, or loss of a loved one? Do you have feelings of depression or anxiety that you can't shake off or, are just feeling stuck and wish you could uncover your potential and gifts? We all go through transitions in life and at times may need support to feel empowered and regain a sense of well being and wholeness. Seeking help is a powerful statement you make for yourself or your loved one.

Providing both individual and couples counseling, I work to find the most effective solution to the problems you come in with. I treat individuals with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship problems. Most people I work with find me supportive, easy to talk to, and results-oriented.

Welcome to my art therapy and psychotherapy practice page. For over 25 years I have successfully worked with adults and young people seeking change. I am equally at ease with traditional talk therapy, art therapy, or an integration of the two and collaborate with my clients to establish the safest approach to realize personal intentions. My engagement style is gentle and encouraging, yet more thought-provoking and compassionately challenging when it is advantageous to the therapy.

As a firm believer in a mind-body-spirit approach to psychological health, I incorporate a long history of multi-disciplinary spiritual practice and investigation with my graduate training in relationship / family therapy into a holistic perspective that utilizes transitions and crises as opportunities to deepen insight and life skills that better navigate and manage them. In terms of couples work, I help with communications, developing conflict resolution strategies, healing from infidelities, addiction/codependency, and other sexual issues by examining your familial/relational histories and teaching a variety of guideposts to help you be your best selves, together and individually.

Have you felt any of the following: not enough, alone in crowds, empty inside, afraid of the world, sad most days, nervous, loss of interest or pleasure, loss of sleep, change in appetite? If you have felt any, some, or all; YOU are not alone. My passion is to partner with you in order to move through feelings and thoughts in a safe space. To help you quiet the inner judge/critic and rise above to a place of inner safety, joy, and love. To support your transformation of the person you were truly meant to be, and for you to believe "I am more than enough".

Wellness is a way of life and it starts from within. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment so that the challenging yet rewarding work of self-exploration can be done to aid in lasting change. My hope is that each person finds not only relief from the pressing concerns that may bring them to therapy such as anxiety, depression or stress; but also develops a greater capacity to self-reflect which can lead to deeper self-awareness and the ability to tolerate higher levels of distress.

Any form of psychotherapy must be guided by one overarching purpose: to help you achieve your goals. Treatment alleviates distress and results in greater inner strength. Accordingly, therapy must be a constructive experience, and as work proceeds, you'll experience advances in your sense of well-being. On the whole, expect an upward trend of hope and greater self-esteem. Your capacity for intimacy with others and your sense of fulfillment will increase, concomitant with a decrease in suffering and pain. Psychotherapy helps to establish a profound, meaningful and healthy sense of connectedness with your world and those in it.

When you are seeking therapy, finding the right therapist is the first and most important step. With the right therapist, you feel understood and safe to explore difficult issues. I am a warm and empathic listener who can help you gain insight into your life and give you tools to regain control. I received my doctorate from New York University and training in Psychoanalysis at the National Institute for Psychotherapies in NYC. Currently I am an adjunct faculty member & supervisor at NYU.

Are things shifting in your life and you find yourself looking for the proper footing to take life by the reins? Are you exploring navigation of your purpose, impact, and strengths? Do you find yourself struggling to communicate in your relationships? You are not alone. I am here to relate to you in an authentic way, offering you transparency, and partnering with you through every step of our work. I will help you feel confident knowing and communicating your wants, needs, and desires through your life transitions. I also provide coaching and/or family therapy to help parents and children communicate better.

I am currently offering a free consultation for my services. Are you ready to make a change in your life? It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment. I understand and have experienced the emotional challenges life has to offer. In working together, we will cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you gain control of your life and achieve your goals. Ultimately, therapy can lead you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life.

Hi and welcome! I'm a spiritually minded and culturally competent counselor who coaches people towards living the life of their dreams. I do this through providing direct and concrete feedback to help you get out of old patterns and into new ways of living your life. My specialties include helping people communicate more clearly, act as better leaders/bosses in their careers, lessen anxiety, and parent their children more effectively. I will work with you to improve the relationships you have with others in your life as well as move you towards achieving your goals, desires, and dreams.

"Living life to its full potential and achieving all your goals, do not have to be a dream. Make it your REALITY. Take a journey up the road less traveled by others to improve your quality of life. Remove all your emotional barriers such as fear of living, vocational/employment stressors, strained relationships, parent-child conflicts, low self-esteem, arrested development, depression and anxiety. I can assist you to enhance your parenting skills and improve your relationships. Maintaining your emotional health is just as important as maintaining all other areas of your life."

I help people who are struggling with having more for themselves: from worried singles to overstretched mothers, the angry couple, or the overworked business analyst. Stagnation-- as well as growth in both career and relationships can produce anxiety or discomfort for anyone. Longer-standing struggles can result from a history of reacting to stressors in a way that limits one's success in attaining the "more" that's felt to be missing. I also work with those exploring race/mixed-race dynamics in individual therapy, group, and clinical supervision.

I work primarily with individuals and couples struggling with relationship distress and believe that everyone has the power to change when given the opportunity to do so. While relationships can lead to stress and anxiety, they can also be the source of safety and security for us if we let them. Whether you're struggling in your relationship with your partner or yourself, we can work together to identify the parts of yourself that need attention and change negative patterns so you can feel closer to those around you and live a more meaningful life.
