Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

There comes a time when you feel like you do not have control over your mind, thoughts, emotions, or behavior. Or maybe you have reached a part of your life where you would like to improve yourself, grow, and reflect in a meaningful way. If this is you, one of the best ways to help yourself is by seeking a professional provider. I am a dedicated and passionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor who centers on facilitating self-growth, emotional well-being, and autonomy through the therapeutic process.

Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed with new or unexpected life stressors, or when they feel stuck or controlled by their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we focus so much on being happy, but paradoxically experience happiness as elusive. I work collaboratively with adult clients to change their relationships with their thoughts and feelings, regain control over their actions, and lead meaningful lives. I encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as therapy can be an important space to address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking this step in your healing process. No matter what brings you to the search for a therapist you deserve to be seen in your wholeness, in your pain, in your joy and in all the beautiful messiness in between. You are entitled to your vitality and we will work together to pursue just that. I work from an anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the impact of interpersonal, systemic, and intergenerational traumas and also come from a mind/ body, emotion-focused, healing-oriented approach. I hope to highlight your innate resilience that brought you to the incredibly brave step of asking for support.
