Therapists in New York, NY

Do you struggle to know what you want? Is it hard to commit? In a time of so much uncertainty, it can be difficult to make decisions.  Maybe you feel blocked professionally or creatively. Or, like a lot of us, your struggles show up in your closest relationships. Maybe you’ve dealt with the weight of other people’s expectations and find it hard to listen to yourself or trust your own voice. Or maybe you worry you’ll be misunderstood. Sometimes you wish someone would just tell you what to do, but that leaves you feeling constrained and inauthentic. 

I’m an individual and couples therapist specializing in trauma. Many seek therapy for help with issues that are hard to face alone and find therapy can help overcome obstacles to their well-being by learning strategies to express themselves, heal from painful experiences, and gain practical skills to manage difficult feelings and situations. Through my specialties of EMDR, couples and trauma therapy, I help my clients heal heartaches from the past, build stronger bonds, and start living a happier, and healthier life in the present.

You've come a long way. You're doing it. You're killing it at work or at school. You always have. But somehow, those old ways of thinking and feeling about yourself have followed despite your successes. At work, and with your friends, it looks like you have it all together. If anything, you're the first to lend a hand to others, even when you are completely running on empty. But something is missing, and its gnawing at you. You don't know what you want or need most of the time. We can figure that out together. We help patients find the permission they need to give themselves in order to live their most full, most authentic lives.

To feel unsafe, emotionally unsafe, with your partner can feel very unsettling and certainly unfulfilling. And to seek help around these issues can feel scary: As an advanced trained therapist in working with Couples and Families I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) that centers around restructuring a once secure bond by identifying negative cycles that have led to distance, distrust, fear, and hurt. Through EFT the couple learns to look to each other through a new lens. The relationship can now be experienced as the place for secure emotional connection where their partner is accessible, responsive, and engaged.

My theoretical approach varies deriving from several psychoanalytic schools of thought as well as cognitive-behavioral theory. Cognitive work assists clients in finding adaptive ways of perceiving themselves, others, and circumstances. Behavioral interventions involve the teaching of skills needed for effective coping, communication, self-care, and symptom relief. I aim to create a safe professional environment to render individualized care to my clients and their specific needs.

As a spiritual healer/therapist, I strive to embrace the profound depth of human consciousness.
