Anxiety Therapists in New York, NY

Sometimes it feels like we're moving through life on auto-pilot. With work and other stressors, it is hard to find time to slow down, to breathe, to focus on the present. I believe therapy is about letting go of the things we are trying to control and making choices towards a more fulfilling life. To facilitate this, I help clients openly face life’s challenges and create lasting changes. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, and safe space for my clients to facilitate behavior change and self-exploration.

I believe therapy is a creative and dynamic mapping process. Maps tell us where we are and offer a perspective and direction that inform us where we want to go. Sometimes we lose sight of our own roadmap in life and end up feeling disconnected and stuck in pain and suffering. We will work together with compassion and curiosity to explore your inner world and navigate emotional terrains. Whether you feel lost in life transition, overwhelmed with anxiety and depression, or stuck in place by trauma, together we can help you reconnect with your inner compass and find a path forward.

I help individuals who are interested in working at a deep level and who seek transformation and abiding change. I aim to help people find more than just relief from the immediate concerns that lead them to enter psychotherapy, whether they be depression, anxiety , relationship problems, occupational/academic concerns, or other difficulties. I thus actively work from the ground up to help my clients develop more self-understanding, greater tolerance for distress, and a newfound security in their capacity to confront life's innumerable challenges.

Whether you’d like to focus on unresolved parts of your past, current struggles you are grappling with right now, concerns about your future or all of the above, I am here to help. You can count on a warm, open, confidential and non-judgmental place to talk about whatever it is that’s on your mind. For over 20 years, I have successfully helped both individuals and couples on a wide range of issues: anxiety , depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, grief, sexuality, chronic illness/pain, existential dilemmas and many other emotional challenges. I also supervise other mental health professionals.

There are many ways to process experiences and feelings, not simply limited to talking.
