Italian Therapists in New York, NY

If you are seeking therapy for the very first time you may be wary, not know what to look for in a therapist or how therapy works and what to expect from it. I can reassure and educate you about the process and our relationship. If you previously have been in therapy and are experiencing a re-occurring issue, a new development in your life or may be in crisis, you may also worry about connecting with your new therapist and having to start anew. I can offer a supportive, encouraging and exploratory process to help either of you feel comfortable enough to work on yourself and achieve your goals.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Let’s be real—life gets overwhelming. Anxiety creeps in, old wounds resurface, and big life changes can leave us feeling unsteady. Whether you're moving through a breakup, starting a new chapter, unpacking past trauma, or just plain burnt out, therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating or clinical. I bring a real, human approach—down-to-earth, compassionate, and always in your corner. I specialize in helping adults (typically ages 21–55 ) work through anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

I strongly believe that one of the most challenging things for one to do in life, is to reach out and ask for help. With this in mind, I believe in fostering a safe space where my patients are able to feel that they can commence upon the therapeutic journey.
I believe in being an active part of the therapeutic process, so that together, we can begin to discover more self satisfying and healthier relationships on all levels. Thus leading to healing and exploring deeper insights and connections that might be leading to certain maladaptive patterns of behavior in our lives.

Starting therapy is one of the hardest things one can do. When a person decides to begin therapy they are often at a point where they know something in their life needs to change, but are not sure where to begin. Departing from what is familiar can be scary. I understand how difficult making changes can be, and recognize how stressful it is to begin work with a new therapist.

I believe that no universal way of treating people exists. Rather, your cultural identity, personality traits, and presenting issues guide the way that I approach therapy with you. My therapeutic intent is to treat the person not the problem. Therefore, I adhere to a wellness perspective to emphasize strengths and help you develop your sense of self in a collaborative and supportive way.

I consider therapy as a journey during which one may eventually reach shores of clarity, insight, self-understanding, and transformation. As one sets sail towards the stormy waters of the emotional realm, one gradually discovers the new geographies of conflicted feeling states, ambiguous thinking patterns, and problematically repetitive behaviors in the forgotten coordinates of the inner world buoying at the intersection of the past, the present, and the future.
