I offer traditional talk therapy and
art therapy

I am a New York State Licensed and Board Certified Creative Arts Therapist with additional, post-graduate training in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My training includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, child therapy, EMDR (an effective technique for dealing with trauma), hypnosis, mindfulness, stress reduction, and play and
art therapy
techniques.
I provide a safe, welcoming place to bring your thoughts and feelings, inner conflicts and concerns and your hopes for change. We will work together to understand patterns that no longer serve you and may be contributing to emotional pain. Whether you have issues around intimacy, relationships, parenting, work dissatisfaction, overcoming creative blocks or overwhelming feelings that keep you from creating a richer, more purposeful life, therapy can be life changing. For children, play therapy in addition to talk can help get to the root of difficult behavior in conflicts with peers, at school and with family.

I have a few in-person
art therapy
slots available.
If you've made
art
before, you've probably encountered a release, or transformation of understanding, which often accompanies the process of creating. Sometimes there are not words to describe how we feel.
Art
is offered as an alternative method of expression, a visual vocabulary. When people get in touch with their own creative voice they often find therapy in the confidence of learning a new language, the ability to speak with their
art
and listen with their eyes. If you struggle with expression and are looking for an alternative means of emotional release, reach out!

Counselor, ATR-BC, LMHC, LCAT

Through Mindfulness , Cognitive Behavioral exercises,
Art Therapy
and Talk Therapy, I support the modification of behaviors and self-regulation holistically by exploring personal relationships, purpose, health and creativity.
Contemplating change is an important step on the path towards personal growth and freedom. Allowing a therapist to mirror, witness and provide containment, could be a vital next step toward transformation. I work from a compassionate, Trauma Informed framework, to enhance mental wellness through the exploration and connection of the mind, body and behaviors. My passion is working with families, teens and young adults who have experienced traumas, and/or who live with learning disabilities, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.

Together, we will build connections through creative expression (this could include writing, engaging with music,
art
-making, mindfulness, visualization, embodied play) and traditional counseling techniques to aid you in finding resilience, personal insight, growth, and openness to new opportunities.
As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) I believe that creativity and access to our imagination is an essential tool for self-discovery, transformation and health. When we become stuck in life, these tend to be the first tools that we lose access to. I have a body-centered, trauma-informed, holistic and individualized approach that also recognizes that we are each impacted by the communities and systems that we are part of. I enjoy collaborating with clients to help you find agency in your own healing process and become your own visionary in hard times.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you is a crucial first step to a successful therapeutic experience. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I will work collaboratively with you to tune into your struggles, explore new and creative ways to cope, and strengthen your ability to manage your emotional experiences. I believe in using
art
in conjunction to traditional talk based therapy, as I have seen it provides an alternative way of expressing oneself for children, adolescents, young adults, geriatric clients, and on an inpatient psychiatric unit.

Common issues addressed through
art therapy
directives may include stress management, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, trauma and bereavement.
Art
is a way of knowing...it is a way to make sense of what our personal experience is. Whether we reflect on our past or consider our current state of being, creating images can be both cathartic and enlightening. Self expression is a liberating and powerful tool that can be used not only for self-expression but to also to help develop insight and empower the individual. Through the support and guidance of a licensed creative arts therapist, the individual is able to make the connections between image, content and intent to self awareness and understanding.

Art Therapist, LCAT

I also use
Art Therapy
to help clients access parts of themselves that cannot be easily described with verbal language.
Maintaining our mental health requires a holistic approach. One that includes taking care of not only our mind but our body as a whole. That is why I treat my clients using a combination of talk therapy, body-based methods, mindfulness and naturopathic guidance. When healing trauma, simply putting things into words is not sufficient and could in fact be triggering. For this reason, I employ a Somatic Experiencing method to help clients safely access and work through their emotions and traumas stored in their muscle memory, which promotes healing of a wide range of conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and childhood abuse.
