Therapists in New York, NY

I offer an affirming and non-judgmental safe space where collaboration and empowerment are central to the therapeutic process. Using integrative and holistic methods, we will work at a pace that is most comfortable for you to reflect, heal, and be heard. Although my professional and personal experience regarding LGBTQNB, poly/CNM, kink/BDSM, SW, and POC communities inform my practice, I understand the importance of recognizing and acknowledging individuality and personal experience in all its forms.

In our conversations I will emphasize listening, respect, and empathy. We will work together collaboratively whether you have immediate concerns or seek longer term work focused on self-discovery and growth. My role is to help you understand yourself better. I have a decade of experience working in community mental health in New York City. I am familiar with a broad spectrum of diagnoses and have helped people from all walks of life. Having worked with hundreds of patients I understand that each person is unique and the work of navigating life’s difficulties requires commitment to understanding each person's specific circumstances.

What I love most about therapy is that it offers an opportunity for a person to explore their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and develop a more meaningful understanding of our behaviors (the good, the self-sabotaging, and the in-between). Where else in life do we get to focus on ourselves in this constructive way? Therapy is one of the best gifts someone can invest their time, energy, and money in that will benefit all facets of their lives.

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of up and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair"- Rick Warren. We all struggle with past or present situations that can get in the way of us living our lives wholeheartedly and that have an impact on the connection with oneself and others. Whenever you are going through a difficult time and you are confused about what is your next step, connecting with a trained therapist can be very helpful.

Hi! I am an individual therapist. I enjoy providing the space for others to explore how their life experiences have shaped them into the person they are in the present moment.

Many people often experience similar life events and stressors, but, while the event itself is objective, your interpretation of that event is subjective. It is those interpretations that lead to your story, a story that has shaped who you are today. However, stories can always be revised; you have the power to change your self-perception with a change in narrative. That is where therapy comes in. I believe that a crucial part of understanding your vantage point is taking the time to learn the nuances.
