Therapists in Tudor City, New York, NY

As a long-term Buddhist practitioner, I bring a compassionate approach to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis that includes a mindful exploration of trauma, addiction, and personal narratives that constrict one's self-image and lived potential.

Life comes with joy and pain, love and anger, accomplishments and mess-ups, and sometimes confusion. The times when we struggle and feel stuck or confused as individuals, as couples & as parents are often signals that it’s time to grow. I work collaboratively with my clients and have great success utilizing techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) as well as Narrative and Psychodynamic therapy to treat trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, grief and eating disorders. I also work with individuals, couples and families facing every day parenting, life and relationship challenges.

Are you someone that has lost a level of intimacy you once had? How painful is it to experience loneliness when you are with your partner? Do you feel like you avoid connection or that when you try to communicate you end up misunderstood and frustrated? If you have sex, does it feel disconnected? Do you wonder why sex doesn’t happen more often because it has felt so good in the past? Are you questioning your future and wondering if this negative cycle will ever end?

In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one particular psychoanalytic modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient. In my practice, I can quickly assess which techniques will work best to meet each client's individual needs to show patients that they can have the right tools to reach their optimal comfort level in their careers, families, and relationships. The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.

I specialize in a condition called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) or dissociative seizures. This is a psychological condition in which emotional stress is "converted" into physical symptoms that look a lot like epileptic seizures. Most patients come to our program when they have seizures that are not responding. Once a patient is diagnosed with PNES and is referred to see me, I offer therapies designed to target the main symptoms (seizures, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stress coping). Many adult patients diagnosed with PNES have traumatic histories and need trauma-based therapies. I am certified in prolonged exposure and use this to treat those patients.

We all have stories that we have learned growing up. Stories about who we are, how we see the world, and how we interact with others. These beliefs shape a lot of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and tend to show up in our bodies. We might notice something does not feel good and something needs to change but we're not sure where to begin or how to go about it. Therapy is a journey for us to dive deeper and learn more about how we are showing up.

Clients (or their parents) typically present with concerns about cognitive functioning or behavior and the impact of such on their daily lives such as at work or school. They often have questions about diagnoses and what services or accommodations would be helpful for them. They have concerns about the future and how to best manage their difficulties. Ideal patients are motivated to work together to find answers that make sense and strategies that they can actually use in daily life.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming and scary, but together, we can work on figuring out where you want to go and remove the roadblocks in the way.
