Therapists in New York, NY

My therapy sessions are focused on serving as a support and guide to my clients while creating a nonjudgmental setting to allow my clients the ability to express themselves freely. I collaboratively work together with my client in achieving their desired goals. My passion is to help my client recognize their strengths and to promote self-empowerment.

I recognize the impact of stress and mental health on daily life. It can be a struggle to manage everything at once. I utilize different modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and more to instill confidence towards tackling any stressors that arise. I would love to provide you with tools and emotional support on your journey towards improved mental wellbeing!

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis." Often my clients are dealing with depression and anxiety related to difficulty making decisions, are stuck in an unsatisfying job, or are feeling confused and uncertain about the next step in their life. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back.

Hi there and welcome. Taking the first step by reaching out for support is courageous and one of the best choices you can create for yourself during a time of struggle and uncertainty. Facing difficult emotional and interpersonal circumstances in our lives can make us feel overwhelmed and helpless but it can also lead to a time of strength and healing. I provide a warm, safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space for my clients facilitated for optimized growth and well-being.

Many people decide to seek therapy because they long for relief from pain and suffering in their lives. This may show up as anxiety, low self-esteem, unmanageable behaviors, emotional instability, or relationship difficulties. Other times the decision stems from a drive to grow and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment. Regardless of the primary motivation, I believe therapy can help all people live a freer and more satisfying life that aligns with their values and dreams.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

Making the decision to seek out therapy is a courageous and transformational step toward positive change. I believe that therapy is for all, and that anyone can achieve recovery to restore emotional health and balance in their lives. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics and self-esteem. I also help clients grappling with disordered eating, such as restricting food, compensatory behaviors and body acceptance. My style is trauma-informed, affirming and compassionate, and I try to make therapy a safe space to build new skills and strategies to achieve the fulfilling life you deserve.

I believe everyone deserves to feel their best - so let’s get you there. I work with young adults and adults who are struggling with life transitions. I welcome anyone who is ready to make meaningful change, even if they don’t know what that looks like yet.

Are you feeling overwhelmed managing issues on your own and unsure what can be done? Let’s work together to understand why this continues to happen and point you to new ways that will help you get to a better place. We will explore how past experiences are impacting you today and identify thought patterns or behaviors that are standing in the way of your growth. My goal is to guide you in addressing challenges connected to anxiety, trauma, stress, or self-esteem to help you live a more fulfilling life.

Are you a caretaker trying your hardest to understand a child or vice versa? Are you struggling with a relationship (familial, romantic, platonic, or professional)? Do your emotions, or the emotions of someone close to you feel out of control? Is it difficult for you to practice positive self-talk and refrain from comparing yourself to other people? We are all raised to believe specific ideas about who we are - beliefs that impact our decisions and behaviors. These concepts are frequently rooted in cultural norms and stereotypes that shape our identities and have an overbearing influence on our experiences.

My approach towards helping you is create a supportive space to bring you comfort to your current experiences. I believe it's necessary to accept where you are and to understand where you want to go. I am a licensed as a Clinical Marriage and family Therapist (LMFT), a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and in Clinical Social Worker-R (LCSW-R). I also have Gottman and Imago training experience for couples.

Do you ever feel anxious or need help dealing with stress? Do you wish someone would listen, hear you, and help you figure out successful coping strategies? With authenticity, thoughtfulness, and a splash of humor, we will explore the challenges you face and develop tools to help you in the future, while building trust in a warm and welcoming, judgment-free zone. I have experience working with young adults and adults from all backgrounds experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship/intimacy issues, life transitions, career/sports performance stress, cultural/religious identity confusion, time management issues, and self esteem issues.

In our sessions together, you can expect my therapeutic style to be warm, empathetic and person-centered. Therapy should not be one-size-fits-all and I recognize that every client brings a different story to session. You are the expert of your own experience and I will take the time to understand how we can collaborate together to work on your own personal therapeutic goals. We will work to help you develop new tools, process your experiences, emphasize your strengths and celebrate the little victories along the way.

I am a therapist who believes that we are all in the act of becoming. My goal is to help people become more productive and feel more fulfilled in their personal and professional lives by assisting them in improving self-esteem, managing emotions, and developing a healthy sense of self.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Lost? Unsure of which direction to go? Or are you struggling with thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors that feel too difficult to manage? Seeking help ensures that you find a supportive, non-judgmental community that understands what you are going through.
