Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

My patients come to therapy to confront personal suffering and explore big questions about love, work, and what makes a satisfying and useful life. We will work towards the development of self-awareness, improvement over one’s sense of agency, the capacity for realistically based self-esteem, strength in one’s ability to recognize and tolerate feelings, the enhancement of self-cohesion, an expansion of one’s capacity to depend appropriately on others, and the general enhancement of a person’s vitality and creativity in work and relationships.

When life gets difficult, sometimes asking for help seems like an impossible task. Whether it is relationship issues, financial stress, or day-to-day lack of motivation. My main priority is that, when stepping into a session, you understand that you’re entering a safe space and the beginning of a partnership. The foundations of this partnership are empathy, compassion, and support. Therapy is a journey that I am proud to be a part of. In this partnership, I will work to understand potential triggers and build a treatment plan with the goal of releasing these mental strains.
