Positive Psychology Therapists in New York, NY

My purpose as a therapist is to inspire individuals to discover their own true power by identifying their patterns which may be holding them back from who they truly are. I believe my role as a therapist is to guide people toward finding their own inner power and strength, listen to their own inner knowing and find their own healing. Therapeutic modalities include depth work, internal family systems (parts work/inner child work) and family of origin,  positive psychology , self-efficacy and self-empowerment perspective also known as feminist theory. Above all, I utilize a spiritual and holistic approach.

Thank you for visiting my page. You, who are reading this page, might be suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma and/or emotional destress. Or might you be doubting yourself and struggling with interpersonal relationships. With therapy, facing difficulties could be an opportunity for true healing and your personal growth. I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and a certified AEDP therapist. Through a safe and warm relationship, in addition to establishing insights of your struggles, I will guide you through emotional and somatic experiences which are the key of real changes.

I believe each person holds the key to success and therapy is a form of guiding process to achieve these goals in life. Thus, I focus on empowering individuals and gaining further insight and understanding. I believe in not just focusing on the difficulties and issues, but also building skills and capacity in preparation of future challenges. Clients describe me as authentic, compassionate and empathetic. We work collaboratively on building on solutions to move forward in life and elevate you to a more positive life style in general.

Are you looking for more meaning in your life or struggling with a transition? Are you having trouble in your relationships and want to improve them to live a better, richer life? The pandemic has been unprecedented for most of us, and you may be looking to start recovering from all that hardship. Therapy is a great place to start that work. Sharing your inner world with a therapist takes courage, and my job is to work with you to create a supportive, comfortable environment where we can combine your courage with new ideas, perspectives, and insights to help create meaningful and lasting change.

Counseling can help you handle life obstacles in a healthy way. As a therapist and through personal experience, I understand that it can be scary, daunting, or overwhelming to start this journey. It can be easy to isolate yourself, to shove down the pain, or think you can’t be helped. No matter what your struggle is, you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to get to know you for who you are and help you achieve wellness from within. As we work together, I aim to help you feel heard, validated, and empowered. I offer a thoughtful, sensitive, compassionate, and non-judgmental personality.

It's not uncommon to experience confusion, self-doubt and anxiety, but suffering alone is not going to resolve these feelings. Together we will examine the unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of your satisfying and meaningful life. My approach is warm, sensitive and non-judgmental, which allows us to safely explore your concerns, identify unhelpful behavioral patterns, and unpack your underlying issues. We will work to uncover your most authentic needs, and find satisfying ways of getting them met.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I provide teletherapy sessions to address the growing mental health needs since the COVID-19 pandemic. My general approach is humanistic, kind, and collaborative. I offer tools and techniques to help clients overcome challenges, draw on personal strengths and enhance their ability to better navigate their lives. Therapy sessions are tailored to meet individual needs with a focus not just on managing and reducing mental health issues but also on increasing well-being. Sessions will draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology , and mindfulness practices.

I provide a supportive, holistic, responsive, warm space and help you develop new coping skills, awareness, self-discovery, growth, and healing. I believe in an individual and integrative approach and go beyond talk therapy; the tools and techniques will differ depending on your needs. Together, we will create a new vision of who you want to be and what you want to accomplish in your journey, discover your true potential, as well as to create opportunities, and achieve your goals. I often use the Positive Psychology field of theory and research, focusing on both individual and social well-being versus the stigma of diagnosis.

I work as a psychotherapist, coach and psychoeducator. I use a relational and pragmatic approach to support clients in living out their values, improving their health and functioning, and deepening their sense of meaning, purpose and wellbeing. My work is influenced by mind-body and compassion-focused therapies, positive psychology , attachment theory, dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. My work is heavily informed by the years I spent as a behavioral scientist and researcher exploring meaning and mindfulness-based approaches to behavior change and optimal functioning.

Living in New York City can often feel like a balancing act with no end in sight. We aspire to have the best career, partner, family, and friends, all while silencing the part of us that questions our choices and whether we really measure up. As obligations continue to grow, it can be hard to find the energy and motivation to do the things we have to do without sacrificing the things we want to do. That’s where I come in. I can help you to define and break through the barriers that block you from being yourself. I strive to provide a culturally sensitive environment where you can explore their relationships, careers, and identity.

Seeking counseling can be an intimidating yet empowering milestone. Often, we can feel overwhelmed or defeated by life's challenges, or even by our predisposition towards certain anxieties and mental health challenges. Kudos to you on taking this first step in self advocacy and researching options for mental health support. I provide a safe space for people to sort out their most difficult life challenges and celebrate their prideful/joyous moments and accomplishments.

I have been in private practice for 20+ years working with adults and couples so whether you're looking for support or guidance through a particularly difficult time, or you're open to a real change in your life, together, we can work to achieve your dreams, and reach your goals. My background includes business experience and coaching for high achievers so I bring that perspective to supporting new and experienced professionals in navigating personal and work challenges.
