Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in New York, NY
I use psychodynamic, DBT, and trauma therapies (e.g., EMDR, IFS).
I specialize in helping adults with emotion dysregulation, relationship/attachment difficulties, and childhood trauma. I understand how overwhelming emotions can be and will help you navigate them with empathy and practical support. It can feel like a paradox–you're attuned to others' feelings but struggle with your own. You want to better understand and accept yourself, but are afraid of what might come up. You want to connect, feel seen, and understood, but pull away when others get close. We'll work together to make sense of your experiences, explore how things came to be, and develop more effective ways moving forward.

I have training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPT for PTSD), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
I center culture and the intersectionality of your identities in my work as a therapist. I was trained psychodynamically, which means that I pay close attention to unconscious processes guiding your behavior. I offer insight into these dynamics to help you move forward with your life goals. My clinical interventions are also grounded in efforts to challenge the ways in which you may be affected by systems of oppression.

I draw on psychodynamic and relational theory, with a pragmatic openness to integrative techniques, including mindfulness-based, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and transference-focused psychotherapies.
I’m a clinical psychologist with a B.A. from Dartmouth College and M.A. and Ph.D. from the City College of New York. Prior to completing my doctorate, I worked at Columbia University’s Barnard Toddler Center, conducted research at Columbia Medical Center’s Perinatal Pathways Lab, and taught undergraduate courses in child psychology at the City University of New York. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center, with rotations in the PTSD Clinic, Primary Care Clinic and Women's Clinic.

I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to name just a few.
At the core of every meaningful relationship is a desire to feel understood. Whether it’s from family, friends, colleagues, or even neighbors, we all seek that connection. But what happens when you feel that no one truly “gets” you? When the weight of life's toughest moments feels too much to bear alone? If you’ve found yourself searching for a therapist who truly understands, you're not alone—I’ve been in your shoes too. I've Googled “therapy near me” more times than I can count, hoping to find someone who not only listens, but resonates with my experience and creates a space where I can truly open up.

I am an integrative and eclectic therapist who incorporates a range of styles that include but are not limited to somatic expereincing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, sex positivity, and mindfulness skills.
Starting therapy can feel scary. Self discovery and healing can feel overwhelming. You might be wondering: "am I normal" or "am I broken?" It's valid to want to know the answers to these thoughts. So many people have the same stressors, anxieties, wants and desires as we do. I encourage my patients to challenge the idea of normalcy, rather than measuring their thoughts, actions, and emotions against external standards. As your therapist, I act as an open-minded, unbiased, and nonjudgmental third party who can reflect with you, challenge you, and help guide you toward better insight into yourself and the world around you.

I primarily utilize ACT in my practice and integrate other behavioral modalities (CBT/ DBT) as needed.
No matter what path we take in life, we will be met with suffering and hardship along the way. This is a natural aspect of the human condition. My goal as a therapist is to assist you with identifying how your suffering manifests (whether it be due to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life change etc.) and the variety of ways in which you can cope with the distressing situations in your life. In my practice, I work to cultivate a warm, non-judgmental space that welcomes you to safely explore the issues you are facing. I specialize in working with clients working through anxiety, OCD, life changes and chronic health struggles.

As an empathic, caring licensed psychoanalyst and DBT (Dialectic Behavior Therapy) professional, I believe in offering a blended approach to therapy so that all who work with me have the advantage of not only digging deeper to learn what is at the root of fears and anxiety but to learn how to manage these challenges via more concrete skills as well.
Do you feel your emotions are out of control? Do you find yourself reacting too quickly to work, family or personal situations and regret doing so later? Are you having trouble managing the daily stresses of life and relationships? Do you tend to want to engage in mind-numbing behavior to avoid feeling the pain and pressure of life?

My approach is integrative in that I also pull from CBT, DBT, and ACT to implement tools for coping, regulation, and improving relationships.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth and healing. I work primarily with women experiencing anxiety, impacts of trauma, relationship issues, and family conflict. I also specialize in working with individuals who are navigating difficult dynamics with family members who struggle with addiction. Whether you are looking to explore the difficulties you are going through and develop new coping tools, want to learn more about yourself, work on boundary setting, or want to break out of unhealthy habits and develop more agency/accountability in your life, I provide a welcoming environment for you to do so.

Although I use EMDR primarily, we will use tools from CBT, DBT, IFS, somatic therapy, and other practices to make sure you have the tools and readiness to begin your healing journey.
If you find yourself saying things like, “laundry shouldn’t be this hard” or “I can’t believe I’ve been doom scrolling for 4 hours,” you’re definitely not alone. Maybe your house is a mess but you’re so stressed about it you can’t start cleaning. Maybe you and your partner are looking to open up the relationship but are struggling to communicate boundaries. Or, maybe you're questioning your sexual identity and are simply tired of living inauthentically. When you’re feeling hopeless, helpless, or just plain stuck, therapy can provide understanding and meaningful change for your life.

I have found that a multi-pronged approach often works well (e.g. combining DBT skills and insight-oriented work), though choice of techniques will depend on your unique needs.
Are you feeling stuck? Have you tried therapy but found it was frustrating or unhelpful? I specialize in working with people who have been disappointed with or dropped out of previous therapy. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, stress at work or home, or just feeling overwhelmed? Do you have trouble making decisions? Or perhaps you are pulled in too many directions and just not sure what to do next. These are all great reasons to look for a therapist.
