Teletherapy for New York, NY

When so much feels uncertain, I am here to help you find your way from fatigue and overwhelm to peace and acceptance. The dedicated time and space of our sessions and a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship will support you in creating the fulfilling relationships and experiences you are longing for. I bring my background as a mindful-living coach to my work as a therapist, and I love to support clients who are seeking to cultivate more compassion for themselves and within their relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, no matter what is currently taking center stage in their lives.

I believe that positive reinforcement and approach in life can help people with individual and interpersonal challenges. I specialize in Marriage and Family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression and anger management. I am a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, where I expand my professional expertise (in addition to my clinical work) to optimize therapeutic services provided to my patients.

Sometimes life’s hard moments don’t pass as quickly as we wish. This can be especially felt in the context of relationships with those whom we care deeply for: the connection may begin to feel stale; communication breaks down; one person’s growth doesn’t always align with another and relational dynamics may change.

My expertise is in helping clients heal from trauma and anxiety. I help clients to find the roots of their symptoms so they may find relief as quickly as possible. I help client with panic attacks, PTSD, depression and general anxiety. I am skilled in both talk therapy and brain-based techniques that help to move along the therapy.

While I understand that counseling can sound intimidating, I believe it can be the first step to a more insightful and fulfilling life and relationships with oneself and others. My clients are individuals dealing with adjustment issues, identity issues, phase of life concerns/transitions, social/cultural issues, acculturation process, dating concerns, and relationship issues. They are struggling with self-doubting, uncertainties about their careers, anxiety, depression, and stress.

I am a Teletherapy/Videocounseling services provider in Florida and accept insurance and private payments. However, outside Florida, I only accept private payments. Taking the step to seek counseling is a brave and patient choice that can help you develop coping skills and improve your life. I have assisted clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues in the past. You can purchase a set of 64 Therapy Cards in English, French, and Spanish on Amazon. These cards motivate you on your journey to improved mental health.

As a sex, love, and relationship therapist, I cater to a diverse range of clients seeking guidance and support in their intimate lives. I welcome individuals and couples navigating various relationship dynamics, whether exploring traditional partnerships, ENM, LGBTQ+ relationships, or seeking to deepen their understanding of intimacy. I serve clients who are eager to improve communication, reignite passion, overcome obstacles in their relationships, or explore their sexuality in a safe and non-judgmental space. My doors are open to those seeking to embrace their authentic selves, deepen their connections, and find fulfillment.

Mental health conditions and substance use problems affect people from all walks of life and all age groups. These conditions are common, recurrent, and often serious, but they are treatable and many people do recover and thrive. Changes in thinking, mood, and behavior affect how one relates to self, another and how choices are made. When experiencing on-going personal conflict, relationship issues, family troubles, depression, stress, anxiety, and or substance dependency to cope, many people turn to a therapist for help. Early intervention is important. I help clients achieve their goals.

In my work as a Mental Health Counselor I have seen change in clients, real change. Whether you are being held hostage by a debilitating addiction, a paralyzing depression, or you just need to sort out life's many challenges, I am here to listen and support you. Becoming a therapist was a natural extension of what I was doing in my first career; I worked in the social services field for many years. My empathic, person-centered approach will help us build a collaborative relationship. In my work, I implement various techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and Internal Family Systems.

It’s time to start living with joy and intention. Although this may seem like an unattainable goal for you right now, with a supportive trusting hand you can live the way you want to live. Therapy should be a compassionate space for you to safely express the fullness of who you are and address what’s holding you back from participating fully in your life. Whether it's past trauma, relationship patterns that no longer serve you or fear of being your authentic self, we will identify your strengths and use them to create a life that excites you.

Change is difficult, and often unavoidable. I work with people who are looking to overcome the obstacles in their lives. Everyone needs growth, and often the greatest opportunities are found in the greatest of challenges. Though we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can always exercise self awareness and decide how we are going to move forward. It is when we disengage from our struggles and the need to move past them that we cease to make conscious decisions. My clients come to therapy looking for their own unique transformation. It is my great privilege to assist them in making it happen.

I am a New York based LP-Mental Health Counselor with Avena Psychological Services. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychological Sciences and Communication from the University of Connecticut, and my Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. I utilize an integrative approach to counseling based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and informed by Multicultural and Feminist Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT. In utilizing these modalities, I provide a safe and nurturing space for clients to heal.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.

With over two decades of dedicated practice in clinical social work, I bring a depth of understanding and compassion to my work with adults and couples. My areas of expertise include guiding individuals through the complexities of depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. As a therapist trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I journey with clients through the shadows of past traumas to the light of healing. Throughout this process, we gently unravel and reweave the tapestries of their lives, transforming pain into resilience.

My guiding therapeutic belief is that each person is unconditionally valid and worthy of positive regard, no matter what you may be going through. I cultivate an environment where you can show up fully, exactly as you are. From that solid foundation, we can work on untangling distressing symptoms, entrenched patterns, or negative beliefs that may no longer be serving you. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, gender and sexual identity, trauma history, disordered eating, ADHD, and relationship issues.

I treat sexual addicts around the world via Zoom. In addition, I offer fully customized intensive therapy programs remotely and face to face. Are you addicted to sex, pornography, or relationships? Do you have problems with compulsive sexual behaviors that you just can't quit? Sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior can ruin your life -- your family, your relationships, your career, your health. If you are serious about getting help and you want expert psychotherapy with an experienced therapist, then give me a call.
