Feeling seen and understood is healing. When we do not feel seen for who we are, we can lose sight of ourselves and what makes us unique. When we are not accepted, we can begin to feel disconnected, depressed, or disillusioned with life. If left unaddressed, this can grow into a nagging emptiness and unsuccessful attempts to avoid the feeling. Life can feel like a chore under the fog of this mental struggle. With the support of therapy, many can find themselves out of the fog to build a fulfilling life. My services are for those who struggle with depression, self-worth, feeling lost in life, or identify as an empath or intuitive.

"Your Path to a Confident Social Life." You’ve been struggling with social anxiety for a long time. You know you’re not reaching your potential — you could have a more fulfilling social life, advance farther at work, feel comfortable flirting, or even enjoy public speaking. Your anxiety around others is holding you back. You find yourself thinking: - "What if they notice how anxious I am?" - "What if I try to connect but they don't like me?" - "I'm probably going to screw this up" - "Why am I so awkward?" You end up feeling lonely, frustrated, and self critical.

We all go through times in our lives when we feel unsure of ourselves, discouraged, overwhelmed, or depressed. We all have anxieties. We also each have unique resources, strengths, and coping skills that we may draw on, reconfigure, and enhance. Therapy helps us to use those most effectively. Difficulties arise for us for many reasons, both private and public. Conditions in our communities and our political climate affect how we interact in our personal and professional relationships. Therapy can help us identify and choose among our alternatives to cope with new--or even with old--problems.

I can help you heal the hurt inside that fuels the emotional problem or addiction and give you the insight and the coping skills needed to free yourself from these problems and live a more peaceful life.

We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand our past and how it shapes our perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

I am a Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist working in the Mental Health field. My extensive professional background includes working with children, adults and families who may be experiencing anxiety or depression. I am familiar with helping clients deal with behavioral issues and trauma such as divorce, death, illness, or an accident.

Relationship expert/infidelity issues. AASECT certified sex therapist, licensed Marriage and Family therapist, licensed psychoanalyst, licensed clinical psychiatric social worker. I've been in practice for over 25 years and during that time I've been able to treat a wide range of emotional problems in individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. Discovering the underlying causes of symptoms is the best way to produce a lasting cure. Through our work together you will attain a resolution or reduction of symptoms, gain a deeper self understanding and acceptance, and function authentically at your best in all aspects of your life.

We offer creative therapy for creative people. Sometimes words are not enough, our staff uses verbal, music, visual art, poetry, and drama in our approach depending on your needs. Our staff is heavily versed in attachment theory, family systems theory, and 12 step recovery. Our goal is to help you create a momentum of healing that inspires a sense of flow in your life. Therapy like our art, can help us gain insight, reduce anxiety, worry, fear and help us increase our consciousness and connection to our innermost self. No experience in the arts is necessary.

Do you find yourself stuck in destructive patterns within your mind and interactions with others? Do you have anxieties and negative feelings about yourself and others? Your past attachements and current relationships can have a positive or negative impact on your mental health and your self-esteem. I use psychotherapies to help individuals, couples, to become aware of core beliefs and behaviors that was used to cope with past traumas, but is not helpful as an adult.

I specialize in depression and anxiety. Sometimes we are depressed/anxious because of natural events (e.g. a family loss, career challenges, etc...), and other times we feel depressed/anxious without knowing why, as if our mind was hiding the distress source. Whether we are able or unable to make out the reasons of our depression/anxiety, therapy can be a journey of self-discovery to alleviate these problems.

I am a licensed clinical social worker offering individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My style of therapy is warm, non-judgmental and interactive. I strive to create an environment that feels safe where meaningful work can occur through exploration and gentle challenging. I utilize an eclectic approach, meaning the work is informed by my training in various modalities of psychotherapy and tailored to the individual. I hold a Master's degree from New York University and have trained and worked throughout the New York City hospital and public school system and in various outpatient mental health clinics.

I specialize in helping people who: (1) experience dissatisfying patterns in relationships at work, with family members, friends, partners, and in dating; (2) feel disconnected and are looking for greater intimacy, authenticity, freedom, play, and fulfillment in life; (3) feel stuck in patterns they do not understand; (4) experience sexual dissatisfaction; and, (5) experience emotional distress and overwhelming psychological symptoms. I also work with couples, families, and other arrangements of dyads and small groups.

I am a psychodynamically trained therapist with 30 years of experience treating a wide variety of individuals and couples. I don't treat diagnoses or disorders. I work with people who are dissatisfied and unhappy with some aspects of their lives, and who have come to recognize that their difficulties may have their origin within their own perceptions or unproductive patterns of behavior. A patient recently described our work together saying, “You listen to me until I know what I think.”

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).

Congratulations on finding your way here. While we have a tendency to wait on seeing a therapist until something has gotten worse in our lives, therapy is for everyone even if everything is going great. It’s a space carved out specifically for you to talk about anything on your mind. My practice believes in open communication whether there is something that needs to be addressed or not. There is an infinite number of reasons that can lead us to want to embark on a therapeutic journey. Maybe something’s going on in your life and your current behavioral patterns and coping strategies to manage challenges aren't working any longer.

I am clinical psychologist working with clients to achieve self-fulfillment through a range of techniques, including CBT, motivational interviewing, biofeedback, and multicultural frameworks. I offer compassionate therapy with the goal to wellness to find a more integrated way of living. After many years of helping people, I have found the true experience is to “know thyself”. I work with people, who are struggling with health issues, anxiety, and depression.

Whether the collapse is "out there" or "in here," it often seems the world is collapsing. Many of us seek therapy because the sense of losing our mind, our self, our loved ones, or our livelihood is terrifying, and the real threats of catastrophe are debilitating. Knowing what we want becomes increasingly difficult, and we struggle to take shape and hold on to ourselves in the presence of others. We fold up or fold in to protect ourselves and our relationships, but then aloneness, desperation, panic, and self attack set in.

Emotional burdens limit optimal fulfillment for individuals. I believe in the curative nature of developing insight and awareness into one's life to improve current state of functioning within family systems, peer relationships, workplace, or school performance. With deeper insights, enduring change can occur over time.
