Humanistic Therapists in New York

What's keeping you from meeting the world the way you want to? Many people seek therapy because of a specific set of symptoms or problems. Others feel more generally stuck, fed up, or confused by patterns that they cannot break despite continued efforts. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents struggling with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, sexual identity, and the impact of traumatic experience. Together, we will create an exploratory space that fosters emotional authenticity, relief from shame, and a restored sense of vitality.

My approach is best described as humanistic. I believe that each person has and deserves to feel grounded in their life, the autonomy to make decisions that feel best to them, and find their own inner strengths. You came here because you feel like something is amiss in your life, and you want help finding your way back to who you are at your core, your true essence. I have been a therapist for ten years with a background working with LGBTQIA adolescents, adults and couples.

When you feel stuck or experience anxiety, insecurity, sadness, a loss of meaning, or complex feelings that are not easy to explain and to understand - it helps to talk about it and to process emotions in a safe, respectful, and supportive co-created environment. You know intrinsically that there’s a way out of painful experiences, but you don’t know which path to take, or sometimes life is going well, but you feel that it has much more to offer. Whatever the obstacle to your desired life: transition, loss, trauma, stress, identity crisis, or difficult relationship, there is always a way forward.
