You used to have big dreams for yourself, but nothing turned out the way you hoped. You sometimes feel like giving up because you just can’t do it. You doubt yourself and your abilities.

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Therapist with a background in trauma and teen violence. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life-transitions in a collaborative way to help to move them towards self-betterment. I tend to integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy based on client needs. I collaborate with my clients to identify plans and treatment goals to ensure that their true desires are being met throughout therapy.

People go to therapy when they feel hopeless, worried or stuck. They feel they can't cope with their lives, their struggles. They might know what's wrong but can't see a way out; or how untangle "things" inside. Worst of all, they can feel trapped. During the initial sessions and beyond, I work with a patient’s thoughts and feelings about their past, their family, friends, and relationships. We also work to uncover known and unknown strengths, and defining moments of success and self-realization.

All humans seek happiness and answers to the most personal and vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions. As an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, I can help you find means of raising and answering these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection.

I have been a licensed clinical psychotherapist since 1993. I've worked for Catholic Charities and the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services and started private practice in 2013. I emphasize psychodynamic psychotherapy (I studied at the Psychoanalytic Institute of California), but shape my approach to each individual client and his or her needs and goals. My work has centered on mature adults with mental, emotional or physical disorders, but I have treated clients of all ages and diagnoses. I develop an empathic connection with each client, bringing about a firm relationship and lasting change.

I am a bilingual/bi-cultural therapist; able to do therapy in both English/Spanish. I strongly believe in a holistic approach to mental health: psychological-physical-spiritual development are all integral aspects of emotional well-being. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues.

**I am happy to accommodate teletherapy sessions at this difficult time.** Life can be hard at times, especially now. We're all just doing the best we can. Whether you're struggling with a relationship or going through a bad breakup I'm here for you. My clients tend to be highly motivated individuals who are interested and invested in working on themselves. My office is also a safe space to talk about sex and intimacy without judgement. Some of the clients I work with are negotiating around non-monogamy while others are working on more traditional relationship dynamics.

I have trained and specialize in several modalities such as CBT, Family Therapy, Group Therapy in addition to treatment for substance and alcohol use disorders and process addictions. I provide ongoing assessment, diagnosis, psychotherapy and treatment planning to a socio-culturally diverse adult and adolescent population diagnosed with a full-spectrum of psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety-related disorders, substance abuse and dependence, PTSD, ADHD, Trauma related issues and Family and relationship issues amongst others.

I worked for over 30 years in most of the outpatient and inpatient services of a large medical center's department of psychiatry and provided treatment to a very diverse demographic suffering from the full spectrum of psychopathologies. In my 30 plus years of private practice I have treated individuals afflicted with, but not limited to, affective disorders and troubled couples challenged by life-cycle events. I continue to work closely with medical providers providing psychopharmacological care to my patients.

If you are dealing with multiple challenges, you need to know how to deal with them. Oftentimes we don't feel like we have a handle on our emotions, or how to deal with our personal/work/family relationships. When such difficulties arise, one cannot function effectively in life. The first step is to acknowledge that you want to feel better, and hence change your thinking and behavior.

My approach to therapy emphasizes meeting you where you are. Built on trust and collaboration, we will work towards navigating active hardships and untangling confusing, complex thoughts and behaviors to rekindle a way of being that resonates with you. In therapy, I work to provide an environment for you to learn more about yourself, to better understand the things that trouble you, and to expand your coping capacities. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with diverse developmental stages. My treatment approach is predicated on a person-centered, eclectic approach to meet your needs.

Each session, I will help you navigate your thoughts, feelings, and actions related to a variety of topics that you bring to the table. I will increase your awareness around how you view and interpret the world. Some of your beliefs may not be serving you and we can challenge them and change them together.

These challenging times can strain our abilities to cope. You may find you are more fatigued or more irritable; many are feeling the stress in important relationships. It has been an especially difficult time for children and teens, and their parents. All of this makes it a good time to get some consultation and support. I believe that healing starts with self compassion. I can help you to cultivate a compassionate curiosity that honors your strengths and explores the areas where you would like to change and grow.

I work through a creative approach using Music Psychotherapy, EMDR, Creative Arts Psychotherapies, Somatic work and Mindfulness Medication to help my clients with relief of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTS. We work together to create a comprehensive plan of action towards wellbeing and energetic balance. Through the creative act, whether it is through music, movement, visual art, poetry, and creative writing, we begin to dive deeper into self-awareness and self-compassion. It is through the creative process that we begin to understand ourselves and our relationships in the world.

Life is not easy and an outlet can make all the difference in creating a better version of yourself. There is no shame in looking inwards and seeing what your fears or sorrows are. I take pride in providing a safe space where one can open up and talk about their feelings and life experiences. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present -Lao Tzu"

Are you finding that it takes so much effort to get through the day? Are you feeling at a loss with how to reach your child or loved one? Are you struggling in your relationships? We all want inner peace, joy and fulfilling relationships. Sometimes this may seem out of reach, despite your best effort. Please know that you are not alone and that what you wish for yourself is attainable.
