Teletherapy for New York

I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in helping and supporting individuals and families working through mental health and life transition issues. Current and past clients I have worked with were often dealing with stress related to work/career, relationships, complex family dynamics and personality issues. I am trained in using an integrative approach with an emphasis on psychodynamic lens to guide you move beyond the surface level and explore deeper into your internal world.

As a clinical psychologist with a background in athletics and fitness, I meet patients where they are, develop a strong working relationship, and identify strengths we can build off of all while maintaining cultural humility and awareness. Over the past nine years, I have found that this approach facilitates the reduction of emotional distress and improves self-esteem, decision making, and overall life satisfaction. My holistic approach can foster a more integrated, healthy, and powerful sense of self that is better equipped to handle life’s stresses during and after therapy.

Getting to the root of your pain, learning to deal with it, building upon your strengths then learning to act versus react to people and events is the goal of our approach. We have a long history of working with diverse populations, who have developed varied problems: Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Marital, Parenting, Occupational, grief and more Our approach is to work with your strengths; help you to develop new views and skills and then organize them into a plan that works in obtaining your goals.

You may struggle with an array of different things. Most of them stem from childhood and adolescence. As scary as it may be, it may benefit you to work to face those feared moments in time and see how it affects your life currently. That's where I come in! I am here to help you walk through whatever struggles you have. This journey is hard and you are not alone.

Often our mental health issues are triggered by the highly demanding lifestyle in a stressful environment. We are not able to process all the issues we face all by ourselves. We need professional perspectives of our issues. In therapy I help patients analyze their issues in a scientific manner. My approach is holistic: health, body, mind, spirit, biology, and the environmental factors. Every human being has potentials to overcome their problems through time, patience, insight, using proper resources, and applying their inner strengths. I have faith in my patience. My motto: Educate. Empower. Evolve. I am inspired by what I see!

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you. Perhaps you’re ready to take steps toward changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Or even feeling lost in your relationships in life or even disconnected from them.

Finding a therapist who is personable, down-to-earth, and experienced and skilled in proven therapies can be a challenge. My belief, supported by research, is that the most effective therapy is borne out of a strong, trusting relationship. Despite therapy raising difficult emotions, my clients have commented on their enjoyment of our work together. They express gratitude for my caring and easy going nature, and express confidence in my ability to help them achieve greater satisfaction in their lives. My clients continually recommended me to colleagues and friends because of these characteristics.

Life is a journey! Let's take the journey together. I engage with my clients utilizing tailored, researched based practices in order to help them rediscover the best versions of themselves. My experience in this field has awarded me the perspective of creating a practice that works with my clients, not simply for. The goals that we work toward are inherently developed by the client; my role is simply to provide unbiased support in a safe, open environment, geared toward developmental and spiritual growth.

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.

I offer psychotherapy in many areas, including LGBTQIA+ individuals working on strengthening identity, Latinx individuals and couples, immigrants adjusting to living in NYC, adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, trauma, grief and bereavement, and relationship and intimacy concerns. My approach is characterized as collaborative, compassionate, and active, where individuals can find authenticity in themselves and make meaningful change in their life by recognizing patterns and finding a voice for themselves.

What does it mean to live a happy and content life? Free of emotional pain? Each of us have a unique answer to this question. I have developed an intimate understanding of why we have a hard time answering this question. A good counselor helps you identify these barriers and find ways to minimize them. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have found success in empowering my clients to gain insight and help them develop new realizations that maximizes their potential to answer this question. I believe there are a few skills that make empowerment possible. When you develop these skills, all doors open and nothing can stop you

Do you desire to be your whole and authentic self? Let's connect! Do feelings of wrath, anxiety, despair, and/or excessive stress weigh you down? Is there trouble in paradise? You can still have faith. Human beings are social creatures. Talking to a professional who cares can be the catalyst for positive, long-lasting change. My hope in working with you is that together we will be able to overcome whatever is holding you back from becoming the kind of person, spouse, parent, and/or professional that you want to be.

**Free 30-min Video Consultation** Being in the circus taught me that juggling too many balls in the air can lead to feeling like you're always picking up the pieces rather than enjoying the show. While our emotions float up and down, we start applying binary labels of "good" (happy) and "bad" (anger, sadness, anxiety) that our systems (e.g., US Society, Family, Culture) has assigned. Improve self-awareness of our emotions, thoughts, and the stories we tell ourselves about our worth internally, with others, and in the world. Change the Narrative you've internalized through identifying, observing, respecting, and accepting emotions.

Currently accepting clients with immediate openings! If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.

I have years of experience in providing therapy in mental health settings and in private practice. I utilize therapeutic approaches proven to be effective (e.g.; DBT, MI, CBT, PST, Seeking Safety for trauma and substance abuse, etc.).

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck - uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you'll have a collaborator who will listen and follow your lead but also be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Let's figure out the next steps together.

My approach to supporting others to heal, grow, and better cope with life challenges and transitions incorporates awareness-building, cultivating acceptance and compassion, and providing a space that invites the possibility of exploring new ways of being. These elements empower individuals to take ownership of how they choose to create their lives and to find greater wellbeing and fulfillment. We often do not realize that the very habits and behaviors that cause us to feel stuck or block us from having what we want were necessary tools for survival at some point in our lives. Understanding such patterns is an important step.
