Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Kings Bridge, Bronx, NY

Many of us experience times in our life when difficulties arise in our close relationships or with life transitions, stirring feelings of anxiety, sadness, and fear. It can feel isolating and daunting to carry this burden alone, and hard to imagine that things will ever change. I understand that it takes courage to take the first step toward making positive changes in your life, and together, we will explore the difficult emotions and symptoms you are experiencing, gain clarity, and build awareness of old patterns and thought processes to develop new ways of living a more balanced and peaceful life.

I’m a firm believer that regardless of age and race we all possess the agency and power to grow. As a man of color, creating a safe space for our culture is a priority in my practice. The hurdles of acculturation, sexism, and discrimination within our community are normalized enough to not question them. Through the use of cognitive-behavioral interventions and mindfulness techniques clients will be empowered to identify what they would like to change in their lives.

Everyone deserves access to compassionate mental healthcare that empowers them to thrive. As a therapist, she wants to walk alongside you on your journey toward wholeness. Her passion lies in: Healing from deep wounds: Anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming. Supporting marginalized communities: her work has focused on individuals in the criminal legal system, unhoused communities, and those navigating racial identity challenges. She understands your unique obstacles and offers culturally sensitive, trauma-informed support.

It can be challenging to go through the stages of therapy, but the goal is that you leave the session exhaling with a smile that you took a step towards supporting yourself, that you made yourself a priority, and are on your way to tackling life’s stressors. We can work together to face the struggles that brought you to therapy and find solutions that help you feel inspired and empowered. I have spent much time doing crisis intervention and trauma therapy work. I am also passionate about working with grief/bereavement clients and have recently developed an interest in working with self-esteem building in client sessions.

In the spirit of honesty and directness, I want to acknowledge that embarking on a journey of therapy can be both scary and transformative. Regardless of your reasons for being here, I want you to know that I am fully committed to supporting you every step of the way. What's it like to work with me, you might be thinking? Well, you can expect to feel truly seen, valued, and safe in our therapeutic space. I take into consideration all aspects of who you are as a person, not just specific symptoms or issues.

There are many uncertainties and transitions in life that overtime can be unsettling, lonely, heavy, and profound. I believe that connection and community can help us navigate back to ourselves, our power, and our ability to evolve. Maybe we have some goals and clarity; maybe we don’t yet. Many times we need someone to hear us out with patience, authenticity, and encouragement. I aim to hold a steady place for individuals and couples, where we can explore these patterns, experiences, relationships, and beliefs with compassion and vulnerability. Then when you're ready we can take the risk of greeting change and creating momentum.
