Therapists in Midtown West, New York, NY

Do you want an open, empathetic, and non-judgmental space? I am an Ashkenazi Jewish, white, queer, woman, and I believe that a loving and empathic environment in which we are treated with respect and dignity creates change. We are then able to effectively explore the ways we have been hurt, have adequate space to feel, and rewrite limiting narratives about ourselves. I create an open, empathetic, non-judgmental space and I bring an awareness of and curiosity about the impacts of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and early childhood experiences, to work with you to move towards goals of your choosing.

Your decision to start therapy is a commitment to yourself. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a space that encourages honesty, authenticity, and directness. I will support you in developing the insight, skills, and resilience you need to better handle challenges and make changes that will lead to more life satisfaction. My approach to therapy is a mix of psychodynamic, relational, and behavioral methods. You are the expert on your life and history, and I will bring my expertise from my clinical and academic training to help you work toward your goals.

Everyone has their own unique and idiosyncratic means of getting in their own way whether or not they are aware of it. Unfortunately, we are also attached to these ways of hindering ourselves. This is perhaps at the source of most experiences of suffering and can manifest in various symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, inhibitions and relationship or sexual issues.

I am a Bilingual/Bicultural therapist who takes pride in working with clients of diverse backgrounds.

In my practice I work with Pre-Teen/Tweens, Adolescents, and Adults in an effort towards identifying solutions that promote growth, healing and life satisfaction through use of the therapeutic relationship.

It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

With recognition that language may not be confined to the word, my work is to listen. It is important to me that speech is only ever new, and while history is written, the present can change. I have known psychoanalysis to lead to the location of new and different meaning in dreams, habits and interactions. This can have a significant effect on your symptoms, anxieties, and capacity to participate and find joy in work and social life.

Coping with life isn't always easy but can be more meaningful with someone to share your hopes and dreams with as well as your challenges and worries. Sometimes changes in moods and emotions can seem confusing and even scary in both ourselves and in others and make us question who we are and who the other person is. We are always in relationships with ourselves and with others at home, at work, in school, in our past and present. What and who do you want in your life? What brought you to where you are today and where do you want to go from here? Who do you want to be? These and other questions will be explored and entertained.

Are you going through a life transition and find yourself feeling immobilized or overwhelmed? Are anxious or intrusive thoughts preventing you from staying fully present in your life and with the people you love? The good news is that things can absolutely get better. I work with adults confronting anxiety, depression, adjustment, trauma, and relationship struggles. I have a passion for perinatal mental health including fertility journeys, birth trauma, and postpartum struggles, and love working with parents to explore and discover the ways that raising children can deepen our understanding of our own patterns and inner history.

Psychotherapy is rational and accessible. It is not some esoteric, undefinable, mystical process that only some people can grasp, a faith that only converts believe in and others do not. It is a logical process which anyone can understand and follow. There is no reason for anything in a session to be unreasonable or mysterious. On the contrary, in good psychotherapy every step should make complete sense to you, the patient; you may end up in strange territory, but it should be entirely clear to you how you got there.
