Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Flushing, NY
IFS in art therapy can help clients explore the many dimensions of the "self", challenging beliefs, motivations, and can support in themes related to identity.
You’re a young woman of color who seems strong and capable on the outside but feels overwhelmed on the inside. Anxiety shows up as spiraling thoughts, tension in your body, and constant pressure to perform. You may worry about your health, work, and relationships, and feel like no one truly sees or understands what you’re going through. You want relief, clarity, and a safe space where your experiences are validated and you can feel grounded and more in control.

Sometimes it feels hard to stay connected — to yourself, to your partner, or just to a sense of stability. Emotions can get big, relationships can feel complicated, and the past can still echo in ways that are hard to explain. Maybe anxiety shows up more than you’d like. Maybe the same arguments keep circling back, or certain patterns leave you feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unseen.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of it all — to sort through what’s happening, what matters most, and how to move forward with more clarity and authenticity in your life.

I provide therapy for adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and trauma. Life comes at you fast and can be overwhelming. I'm here to help you through life's complexities. From negative past experiences to current interpersonal relationships, our experiences shape the way we see ourselves in the world. Sometimes, this means we're confused, lost and frustrated. My goal for every client is to understand themselves deeply, overcome the lies that they've been taught by outside voices, and step into a version of themself that is confident, self-aware and open.

My approach integrates Interpersonal Psychotherapy with IFS and DBT, grounding insight in lived experience.
In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work. I bring a curious, attuned, and gently challenging presence that invites honesty, reflection, and meaningful change. My style is thoughtful and direct, shaped by an appreciation for the complex ways identity, belonging, and expectation impact self-worth and relationships. I help clients explore the subtle patterns that shape how they love, connect, and see themselves, with a focus on relationships, body image, and LGBTQ+ identity. Our work is grounded in insight, authenticity, and emotional clarity.

Therapy often begins when people notice they’re stuck in patterns of anxiety, shifting moods, or repeating relationship difficulties. This can show up across life stages. Young adults may feel overwhelmed by identity, independence, relationships, or career direction. Older adults may notice long-standing patterns resurfacing in relationships, work, or family dynamics. This can feel like exhaustion, shutting down, irritability, overthinking, or disconnection. It can be frustrating when efforts to manage things on your own don’t change the pattern. Therapy helps slow things down and understand what drives these experiences.

I use experiential therapies— IFS, Brainspotting, DBR and EFT-from a transpersonal/depth lens.
If you struggle with inner conflict, relationships, or feel lost about your life path or purpose, there may be deeper roots. Anxiety, depression, relational issues, feeling pressure to conform to outer expectations and neglect your Self, all can stem from past trauma and conditioning. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can lead to persisting internalized guilt, shame, self-abandonment, stress, confusion, resentment or hopelessness. No one is doomed to stay stuck in this difficult loop. Healing is possible and can illuminate a path to more self-acceptance, authenticity, and better relationships with others and especially yourself.

Starting therapy can feel challenging, and if you are here, I believe you have already shown courage and commitment to personal growth.

My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed — I use EMDR, IFS, CBT, and psychodynamic methods, and I fit the approach to the person.
Some experiences don't respond to talk alone — and some people have been carrying things for so long they've stopped believing relief is possible. If that's where you are, you're not broken. You may just need someone with the depth and training to work alongside you. I specialize in trauma, EMDR, life transitions, anxiety, and
depression for adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Italian, and I bring over 20 years of experience — including work with first responders and justice-involved clients — to every session.

I firmly believe that mental health is an important aspect of overall health and wellbeing. As a Latinx, bicultural psychotherapist, I understand how difficult it can be to seek support and I honor the courage it takes to show up for yourself in this way. I enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties as well as life transitions through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens. Additionally, I have a clinical focus on women's health issues and reproductive mental health, with a keen interest in concerns related to the perimenopause and post-menopause journey.

I integrate talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic-based practices drawn from evidence-based approaches, including parts work ( IFS) and AEDP.
Do you feel like you’re stuck in survival mode, chronically stressed and overwhelmed? Maybe you’re looking to address painful memories and detangle complicated feelings, but don’t know where to start. Or perhaps you feel unfulfilled in your relationships, noticing familiar feelings like insecurity or resentment? Therapy provides us with the unique opportunity to gain clarity around our feelings, needs, and desires while exploring the roots of patterns that are no longer serving us. I have deep respect for the courage it takes to show up for ourselves in this way and believe we can do so with endless curiosity and compassion.

I lean into a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for structure, continuity and accessible tools, Eye Movement and Desensitization (EMDR) to trace current symptoms back to their roots and rewire old pathways, and Internal Family Systems ( IFS), to cultivate compassion for the many parts of self, to acknowledge and dissolve fears while we work towards greater integration.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

I specialize in trauma-informed care, using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and Internal Family Systems ( IFS) to help clients heal.
I believe that many mental health challenges stem from unresolved emotions and unprocessed experiences. Often, clients have not had the opportunity to explore these experiences in a safe, supportive space. In response, they may develop coping strategies that, while initially adaptive, can become counterproductive over time. My therapeutic approach provides clients with the opportunity to identify, express, and reintegrate parts of themselves they may have disconnected from. This process is approached with care, gradual pacing, and unwavering support to ensure clients feel safe and empowered throughout their healing journey.
