Teletherapy for Flatiron - New York, NY

Hi beautiful people! Need support from feeling unseen or navigating a world in which your identities are not affirmed? I'm here to support you in further harnessing your intuitive voice, as well as providing a space to explore your past, current, and potential future. As a Black/Queer/Neurodivergent provider, I am dedicated to helping you synthesize memories and experiences of your life, and how these moments might be informing your identities today. I am deeply invested in you and think of our relationship as a collaborative one in which we both discover and explore what affirms you and makes you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in self-reflection at some moment in their lives, whether they are transitioning through a phase or struggling with the daily stressors of everyday life that impact well-being. I envision therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client in which individuals, through guidance and introspection, can reach the best versions of themselves and develop meaningful relationships, self-fulfillment, and mastery over past and present challenges. I hold a multicultural lens with all clients I encounter and recognize the impact of race, ethnicity, and social context.

I am an Indigenous (Laguna Pueblo) and Filipina therapist working with clients with histories of trauma, grief and loss, and establishing and growing healthy relationships. When you work with me, I allow you to set the tone of our therapy journey. Together, we explore what is the concern bringing you in and how you’d like it to be different in the future. Once we know where we’ve come from and where we are going, we can explore how we get there.

Did getting to this page take you a while to finally do? Let's face it, therapy can be really intimidating, especially if we've had a bad experience or have never been before. I can promise you my style of therapy is the furthest thing from intimidating. I want to hear you out, be with you in what you're processing, and make it less painful with more gains. In my office, we'll laugh, get real, and walk through whatever it is you need. It's my belief that we're not meant to go through life with an "it is what it is" mindset. It truly doesn't have to be, if you're wanting change we're going to find a way to get there together.

Are you secretly miserable? Struggling with perfectionism? Do you find yourself excessively worrying, overthinking, & trying to get everything right? Do you have a hard time saying no, using your voice, or setting boundaries? Do you put other people's needs before your own? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed & pressured to have it all together. Have you tried to figure out where you’re getting stuck & the usual ways of coping with the pressure are no longer working? Shame, conflict in your relationships, & uncertainty about your future only add to your distress. You are sick & tired & know you need to make a change. I can help.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

If you're hurting right now that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Many people who work with me learn that the behaviors they want to overcome are normal responses to life’s challenges. That doesn’t mean that you need to get used to sleepless nights, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or depressive episodes. I’ll help you make sense of why you are responding in these ways and together we’ll help you find relief. The work we do will involve radical self-acceptance.

We all have strengths that make us unique, and in my therapy practice I strive to help clients identify their skills to set realistic goals for themselves. I have been in practice since 2013 primarily in community mental health settings, and I have worked closely with adults, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with challenges that include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression and anger, grief and trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, gender identity, LGBTQ issues, emotion regulation, low self-esteem, poor concentration, poor body image, career transitions and life stage adjustment.

Do you find it difficult to turn your brain off? Are you afraid that if other people could see how your mind worked they would think you were crazy or weird? Do you think about past events over and over again? I'm here to help. Together, we will untangle some of those thoughts so that they are less overwhelming. It's scary and exhausting having so much on your mind - I get it! Together we're going to untangle it all and get you enjoying your life again.

How can we unearth our true potential? How can we release emotional trauma that is limiting our ability to achieve our version of success? When navigating the self I am inventive and curious. I give my clients a warm, soft place to land. My office is a safe, contained, vibrant space that fosters growth and reinvention. If you are someone feeling blocked by past trauma, stuck in destructive patterns, or harassed by anxious thinking, then I encourage you to reach out. You are not alone.

I work creatively with individuals to identify and explore choices to shift unhealthy lifestyle patterns of behavior. I further approach my work with an anti-oppressive and social justice lens that allows me to work with individuals and families in finding emotional and social balance in communities of color affected by traumatic experiences. I am acutely aware of individuals' experiences and challenges working in the entertainment and sports industry. My personal experience as an artist, mother, and clinician in communities of color informs my understanding of anxiety's hidden complexities in this population.

Feeling consumed or overwhelmed by difficult to manage emotions? Can't turn off your racing thoughts? Feeling stuck and struggling to make important decisions? I have experience helping people ages 12-65 improve communication in their relationships, heal from past trauma, and learn how to better cope with negative emotions and stress so they can regain control of their lives. I provide my clients with concrete, valuable tools, as well as a greater understanding into their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that contribute to self-defeating patterns and conflicted relationships.

Milestones like graduating college, having a child, or going through a break up can trigger stress, anxiety, and existentialist thinking. I help people stay centered and connected to themselves as they move into new life stages. During these times, our relationships and identities often come into focus, especially when it comes to forming new friendships, changing family structures, or starting a new romantic relationship. In our work together, we’ll explore all the intersecting parts of your identity and focus on ways to build healthy, nourishing connections with the people around you.

Hi! My name is E and I am a licensed social worker with experience in treating adults, elderly folks, teenagers, and children. I have worked with a multitude of clients presenting with depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, family issues, and more. With a background as a speech-language pathologist, I also spent many years working in nursing homes and outpatient rehabilitation centers. I am passionate about helping people reach their goals and fullest potential, engage in relationships that feel fulfilling and healthy to them, have a deeper understanding of themselves, and to create a life that feels meaningful to them.

Psychotherapy is ultimately about achieving a deeper understanding of the self, articulating the issues one struggles with and creating a pathway towards change. It can be a challenge to shape our futures and to find the right therapist with whom you can establish a meaningful connection. Navigating the kinds of questions keeping you up at night means finding someone you can trust. Someone with whom you can co-create a judgement-free, compassionate, empathetic landscape. I’m interested in finding out if we can build that kind of dynamic together.

I welcome inquiries from individuals and couples seeking to improve their emotion regulation, communication skills, relationships, and spiritual lives; process difficult emotions and memories; increase their coping, time management and stress management skills; and bolster their sleep hygiene and health. I am particularly open to working with people who feel stifled by the current political climate, those who fear being (or have been) silenced or "cancelled," as well as persons of faith.

Are you noticing increased stress in your life? You may have a good group of trusted people who you usually rely on but you may not want to burden them right now because everyone is going through a lot. If you’re looking for a space where you can address workplace stress, life transitions, burnout, anxiety, or depression, I might be a good fit. I view counseling as a collaborative process, where we create a realistic plan to help you listen to yourself and identify strategies to meet your goals.

Do you find yourself engaging in familiar but detrimental ways of dealing with relationships, anxiety, or advocating for your needs? Do you often experience really big feelings that seem to consume you? Are you in a good relationship that’s triggering a lot of discomfort and challenging your ability to show up for your partner in ways that you like? Do you sometimes feel like a stranger in the life that you've built for yourself? If you want to feel more grounded, step back from the caretaker role, have more energy for yourself, and improve your relationships with others, I understand and can help you do so!

Authentic and empathetic therapist, here to help you feel empowered, safe, worthy, and free to live your life. I'm passionate about empowering my clients in achieving their goals, whatever that may look like. I have worked with a wide range of clients. Some looking to process and heal trauma; learn how to manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelming emotions; improve relationships; improve self-esteem, build self-confidence, learn self-compassion; build insight into unhelpful behaviors. I work with adults, teens, and children, struggling with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, personality disorders, depression, and body image issues.
