Some of my areas of specialties include: relationships, loss (grief), and trauma.
Are you attracted to men or women who are not available and lack chemistry with those who are? You are successful in your work-life but not in your love-life? Is this an ongoing issue? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, keep reading! Our relationship with our parents, and the relational dynamics we experienced growing up, leave a lasting imprint on the part of us that does the "picking" of our romantic partners. Our subconscious looks for a familiar dynamic in order to fulfill a deeply held wish.

I provide therapy to clients in NY, NJ and FL struggling with eating disorders; relational/attachment/intergenerational trauma; self-esteem and self-image struggles; enmeshment/codependency issues; and depression/anxiety.
Our work will be a collaborative effort to understand you — why you think, feel, believe, and behave the way you do — and to help you grow personally, professionally, and relationally. I believe that the mental health symptoms we experience are a manifestation of unresolved conflicts from our past. Coping strategies, self-help books, or other exercises can result in quick relief, but if you find yourself stuck in the same cycles, you may need more. I largely practice from a “bottom-up” relational approach, working to address the symptoms at the root and create self-awareness, curiosity, insight, and long-lasting change.

My specialties and areas of interest include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, PTSD and behavioral changes.
Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

Therapy is about what you need from your therapist. I use the person-centered approach. Everyone has a story to tell and it is important for you to not feel judged and to feel safe. As a therapist, I take my lead from you and what you want to work on to improve your situation. I believe that I can gain the information I need from you by having a conversation rather than you feeling like you are being interrogated. Your mental health is of the utmost importance to me, and as such, you set the agenda for your sessions as this is your therapy time and about what you need.

In couples therapy, I help partners increase emotional safety, improve communication and better understand each other's needs.

In a word, if you are not living your ideal life if you're affected by trauma, loss, or unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior, I think you'll find that this process can truly make a difference
In psychotherapy, I find we'll look back to figure things out but not to retraumatize. This is so important. The past is mainly relevant in how it's landing in the present. Our main focus, the quality of your life in the present.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
