Have you found yourself constantly saying that this will be the last time you use? Or want to use less but find that it never works out that way. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, weed, porn/sex, food, social media, or gambling (to name a few), you know you need help. Therapy can provide for you a way to gain control over your life again so that you can start living free from the need to always have to turn to something to cope.

Thank you for considering me as an option for treatment. I offer psychotherapy for couples and individuals, and specialize in sex therapy. My therapeutic practice is to build on your current strengths, while learning new skills in therapy to improve your day to day life and, your self-confidence and worth. Learning how to better cope and work through your challenges is possible and vital to mental wellness. The therapy is collaborative and my patients recovery is also driven through their own determination in improving their mental health.

I believe that trust is the cornerstone of every meaningful therapeutic relationship, and my goal is to make you feel safe, relaxed and supported from the moment you send that first email to inquire about our first session. I know that reaching out to a new therapist or even seeking therapy for the first time can seem daunting, but I truly believe that it can be the best form of self-care. Our mental health is the key to our happiness. My style is warm, empathetic and nurturing, but I will work with you to create tactical and personalized strategies, equipping you with tools to grow and connect with your most authentic self.

Hi there! I’m a clinical social worker licensed in New York with experience helping clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life changes, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. I’ve had the privilege to be able to work with youth, families, and older adults in a variety of different settings, including schools, a senior center, the foster care system, homeless shelters, and a psychiatric hospital.

“I need help”. That is probably what brought you on to this site. Now you find yourself in a sea of therapist profiles wondering what your insurance will cover and why no one is responding to you. Coming to terms that you need help is hard. Finding a therapist is hard. Whether it’s for yourself or someone else, you are struggling to know what to do. I may not be the therapist for you, but I am here to listen and help you sail through.

If you're in the process of looking for a therapist you likely have been dealing with obstacles in your life that have felt insurmountable. Anxiety , depression, relationship troubles and questions of identity are all excessive burdens to an often already complicated, stressful life. Maybe you’ve tried to muscle through these issues, but ignoring them has not made them go away. Counseling can be a space where you can build skills that help manage these issues, where you can have a space that you don’t need to filter yourself, or maybe just to have a space where you feel supported.

I specialize in working with clients with trauma history, relationship issues, life transitions, impulsive behavior, anger, depression, and anxiety. I also welcome individuals who are looking for self-knowledge and self-growth and want to fulfill their potential. I work with young adults and adults of all racial, ethical, and cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in patterns they do not understand. Having worked in a medical setting, I also have extensive experience in helping individuals, caregivers, and families who are affected by illness.

Welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, parents, and young adults. I provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) which is an evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and behavioral difficulties. My goal is to provide you with a warm and validating space where we can collaboratively achieve your goals. In sessions we will develop adaptive coping skills, gently confront emotions, and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling for you. I currently have openings for telehealth sessions only.

Do you feel confused, stressed, anxious, or depressed due to a life transition, medical diagnosis, or loss? Are you feeling lonely and frustrated by the lack of intimacy in your life? Maybe you are highly skilled at dealing with life challenges and relationships, but you are feeling overwhelmed by your current circumstances. Perhaps this is your first time seeking support. We guide clients as they explore parts that have not been processed. Together, we will tap into an increased self-awareness. We help clients understand themselves and the root of the emotional pain. We provide 1:1 work and group work with Ketamine Assisted Therapy

Throughout our lives, we develop certain ways of dealing with painful feelings. These ways of coping help to shield and protect us from experiencing difficult and overwhelming emotions temporarily. However, over time, these approaches may no longer be effective and simply just serve as a band aid solution to deeper wounds that require more healing. My therapeutic approach will help you to better understand your behavioral and thinking patterns, where they stem from, why they no longer work, and to establish healthier strategies for managing emotional distress.

The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. What I am is enough if I would only be it openly.' C.Rogers. This quote is at the core of my work as a psychotherapist. I believe that the path to healing begins with the experience of being truly seen and celebrated with all your identities and parts that make the whole of you. I make space to process the effects of trauma and any form of personal or social oppression getting in the way of embodying your true self. I am honored to support you in staying in your power and navigating the relationship to yourself, others and theworld in a more authentic way.
