Therapists in New York County, NY

I take a client-centered and cognitive behavioral approach to working with clients. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders (particularly depression and anxiety) and personality disorders (specifically borderline personality disorder).

I work collaboratively with clients from a psychodynamic, trauma informed, culturally responsive model. Together we can create strength to navigate, unpack, and process the intersectional complexities of your lived experience. I have experience working with adolescents and adults from various racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds who are coping with emotional and mental health concerns and Highly sensitive people (HSPs).

I can imagine how hard it is to find the right therapist. It requires intuition, courage, patience, and readiness to be vulnerable. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and my focus is to provide you a safe and nonjudgmental space with deep compassion and respect to your unique identity and your life story. You may be overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, guilt, sadness, and or anger. You may be tired of feeling not good enough, feeling lost and numb, or perhaps you are having nightmares and feeling stuck with traumatic memories from the past. Healing is possible and support is available for you to take.

Would you like to experience FREEDOM from depression, anxiety, difficult life situations, and unhealthy habit patterns, to be ALIVE WITH A SENSE OF WELL BEING? From problem solving to deep inner core work, together we can find the best path to liberate your natural growth to become all that you were meant to be and achieve your personal and professional dreams and goals: to LIVE and WORK UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL and to CREATE and PARTICIPATE IN GRATIFYING RELATIONSHIPS AND ACTIVITIES. I offer professional wisdom and experience developed over 25 years of work and study in this field.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just stuck, uncertain how to access the life we want to live, unsure how to feel better. I help clients examine their patterns, better understand their unique life situations, and forge a path toward real change. Through compassionate curiosity, I invite my clients to deepen self-awareness and hear themselves in a new way. As your therapist, I bring a thoughtful presence, a sense of humor, and an honest style of communication. Together, we will form goals for your personal growth, face difficult truths, and tap into your innate resilience.

Life is a journey, and it is more interesting, exciting, and manageable if you have the understanding and tools to guide your way. Are you struggling to enjoy life, having trouble seeing your path clearly, or just wanting to enhance your experience? Psychotherapy, counseling, and/or life coaching, can enable you to advance in your journey and life experience. Whether you are wanting to focus on individual concerns, relationship challenges, or career issues, you can find help. My goal is to help you achieve your full potential to achieve greater success and happiness. I offer office, videocounseling, and telephone sessions.

My goal is to help guide you through challenging life transitions with empathy and compassion. Past events in our lives are part of our story, but they are not the entire story and they do not define us. My practice focuses on honoring the life that has shaped you, and empowering you to use those formative incidents to understand and grow into your authentic self. Therapy is a journey that we can take together, navigating the challenges in a collaborative way.

You are tired of feeling anxious, worrying about a variety of different things and overwhelmed by your long to-do list. Anxiety attacks are stopping you from living your best life. You are struggling to stop your anxious thoughts from flowing into everything you do. You are always helping others and sometimes not making time for yourself. You are a smart and ambitious woman who sometimes doubts her accomplishments. Your insecurities sometimes rob you of your peace and prevent you from being able to engage in life in a relaxed way. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the West Village. I earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I'm also a Psychoanalytic Candidate at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) in New York City. My clinical work as a therapist at an eating disorder outpatient program has given me specialized experience working with individuals struggling with conflicts around appetite and body image. I also have a special connection with artists, writers, and others in similar creative industries.

Substance use is a common experience, and millions of people struggle every year. It’s not a personal or moral failing but rather a complex health issue that requires support and resources. Connecting with medical professionals who choose to specialize in substance use disorder helps to feel less alone and validated. Talking it through can spark growth, leading to lasting change so you can feel better. I welcome you, regardless of where you’re starting.

Creative practices can often be a safer and more direct way of expressing, experiencing and understanding the most challenging emotions. I'm a creative arts therapist who has been working in clinical settings in the NYC area for over five years. I integrate my experience as a performer in Jazz, improvised and World music as well as my zen practice of over ten years into a unique and effective approach to therapy. Using both verbal psychotherapy and creative art mediums in a safe and supportive environment I work to guide the therapeutic process towards achieving a client's unique goals.

As a trained psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical, supervisory and teaching experience, I have learned that we all suffer from common problems in living -- in love and in work. But the solutions that will work for each of us are as unique as we are. I have had extensive training in a variety of different approaches. We will find what works best for you!

Whether you are looking for support to resolve a challenging problem that you have identified but just can't seem to resolve, experiencing interpersonal or family conflict or feel a lack of fulfillment in your life, I can help you to move forward. My academic and clinical training, maturity, more than two decades of experience and rich, as well as varied interpersonal experiences, allow me to provide a comfortable environment where you can achieve the insight and knowledge of self and others that will allow you to make the choices that will lead to greater self control, well being and life satisfaction.

Together, we work to create a calm, safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that allows you the freedom to express yourself. It's not always easy to speak about problems or painful pasts or even, at times, current situations. However, careful, empathetic listening and gentle inquiry make it possible to begin to explore behaviors and feelings and eventually to gain insights that facilitate changes.

Some people come to me for help in dealing with difficult situations that they find themselves in: they’re stuck in moving along with their careers (in acquiring work that’s more fulfilling or remunerative); stymied in finding love; overwhelmed by having to cope with a loss or significant change; stressed out over mending or escaping a broken relationship; struggling with parenting their children in a complex world.
