I have specialized in treating patients with history of trauma . I provide psychotherapy and coaching to victims of narcissistic abuse. I have intensive experience to identify and coach you to thrive during and after; smear campaigns, blame shifting, gas-lighting, PTSD, victim playing, projecting and other tactics used by character disordered people. I work with people who have been harmed by the people who they believed they could trust. I understand the depth of pain caused by Narcissistic Abuse. I also has many years of experience with victims of sexual/physical abuse and neglect.

The experience of sharing stories, and feeling seen & heard in a safe space can be transformative. I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy. Beyond the traditional modalities, I take a holistic approach with each client and believe in the power of integrating emotional, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Hi! Welcome to Sex Positive Therapy! I am a sex positive therapist and supervisor working with a wide range of issues. I have been practicing since 2006 and worked with a wide range of issues. I am a unique and eclectic therapist that challenges my clients to move towards emotional/behavioral change and work on their core attachment issues. My areas of speciality are: Borderline Personality/Narcissistic Personality disorders, Trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, Abuse/DV, Gender/sexuality, ENM/Poly, Kink/BDSM, and/or LGBTQIA+ folx. My approach is client focused and collaborative and I see my work with clients as a journey we take together.

I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence. My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of self-introspection and wants to be held accountable to reach their goals. I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself.

Perhaps you have come to realize you need support to cope with what some might term a high-conflict divorce or maybe you have come to feel that you are a shadow of your former self after a long-term painful relationship or maybe you are questioning whether or not you have been a victim of domestic abuse. These experiences could indicate that you have been a victim of coercive control, sometimes referred to as narcissistic abuse, a type of relational abuse that is increasingly common. If so, you are not alone. If so, you are likely in need of support, education and help in healing from betrayal trauma.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Trying to pick the right therapist can be a challenge. You can think of our first meeting more like a conversation, where we will go over what you are experiencing and how I can help you materialize your goals, values, and priorities. I offer a safe, comfortable, and compassionate space where we can explore how to reduce your suffering and help you get to where you want to be. For years, I have made it my purpose to help others resolve their internal pain and heartache. Although I tailor my approach for each client, I tend to consistently utilize EMDR, psychodynamic, gestalt, DBT, and narrative theoretical orientations.

Change can be intimidating. We develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood, causing disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. My approach to therapy is rooted in helping clients develop a deeper understanding of these patterns and effecting change and empowerment through insight, support, and challenging maladaptive beliefs.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from others and wish for relationships that are more solid and fulfilling? Do you struggle with difficulties in communication or experience feelings of being misunderstood? Have you experienced difficult events in the past that affect your current life? Whatever challenges currently bring you to consider therapy, I would like to work with you to alleviate distress, promote positive change, and form stronger relationships. I love the work I do and I feel privileged to see individuals, couples, and families grow, deepen understanding, and change through their experiences in therapy.

If you feel hopeless, I will hold hope for you. If you feel helpless, I will remind you of how strong you are even if you don't feel strong in the moment. We all struggle to let go of our past, maybe an imperfect childhood or a traumatic romantic relationship. We all want a second chance to create the life we were supposed to have. Change is painful. And you may have to walk away from something, or someone, who no longer serves you.

Joseph Campbell wrote that, "Opportunities to find deeper power within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." I applaud the courage it takes to reach out for help, knowing that our first reaction to debilitating fear, pain, and life challenges is often to try to ignore or avoid it. Therapy is an opportunity to suffer less and thrive more, and undergo transformation in the context of a safe and supportive environment.

Human behavior is influenced by individual experiences - whether they are powerful, traumatic, or seemingly insignificant, it is important to process how said experiences impact our daily lives. My personal mission statement is to both allow and encourage all people to see their self-worth and potential impact in the world. When both parties of the therapeutic experience are committed to reaching that potential, powerful change can be made.

I believe every person has the power to create positive change. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome and resolve their problems by learning healthy coping skills, increasing self-esteem, and developing a healthy outlook! After attaining my Masters degree in social work at Stony Brook University, I have found fulfillment in assisting others in recognizing and fostering their own strengths, and improving their quality of life.

Most people come to therapy with a specific symptom or problem, which they hope to change. It may be a particular fear such as a fear of flying or of speaking up in groups; it may be a more general, distressing, feeling of depression or loneliness, or it may be a pattern of behavior that is disruptive - a pattern such as a tendency to be hypercritical, a difficulty in taking initiative or an inability to keep one's own needs and wishes firmly in mind.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. From acknowledging that you would like more support to searching for the right therapist for you, it takes effort and courage to face your challenges and risk vulnerability. I aim to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can bring your authentic self. To be open without fear of judgment is to move towards freedom and expansion. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC couples & families to explore issues of race, sex, gender, culture, and other identity that may be impacting your overall wellbeing. In this work, I believe problems reside between
