Teletherapy for 10010

While navigating your inner world and relationships, you may be feeling uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or alone. I work with individual clients experiencing interpersonal stress—whether it be rooted in anxiety, depression, or anger. If you’re holding unresolved emotions like irritability, stress, or sadness, you might be experiencing relationship strain with family, conflict at work, or difficulty expressing your feelings in an intimate partnership. If you’re a loved one of someone living with borderline personality disorder or severe and persistent mental illness, you may be feeling helpless or struggling to find supportive direction.

Change is rarely easy. Life comes with changes that sometimes can feel overwhelming to navigate. Acknowledgment is the first step, and seeking help comes next. My approach is to meet you where you are, in a genuine and empathetic way. I provide a neutral, non-judgmental, yet challenging environment to explore and find positive coping strategies. I believe positive coping strategies empower us to live better lives and handle change effectively. I will walk with you on this path of your life, and will help you to become who you are destined to be.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck or with the sense that you are just going through the motions? I can help guide you to participate more fully in life and reach your maximum potential. We will work collaboratively to increase self-awareness, identify recurring patterns, and minimize maladaptive behaviors through the use of coping skills and resources at hand. With insight, confidence and tools in hand, you will be better equipped to effectively navigate through various road bumps in life and stop getting in your own way. I'm very collaborative, directive and strengths-based in my work with clients.

We all get stuck from time to time, but I feel it's important to remember that the way you feel right now is not how you have to be tomorrow. I believe therapy is primarily a change in perspective. It allows us to gain a new viewpoint of the problem that has us feeling stuck. I believe this new perspective can arise when we truly feel understood. Having an impartial witness listen to our story with attention, concern and care can lay the foundation for change.

I enjoy working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, have a history of trauma, or are adjusting to life changes and stressors. If you are ready to do something different because what you have been doing isn't working anymore, I may have something new to offer you. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important aspect of mental health treatment, and I will work to develop a positive rapport with you. I encourage open communication about how our work together is going for you. I want to ensure you are getting the most out of our sessions together.

If you're hurting right now that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Many people who work with me learn that the behaviors they want to overcome are normal responses to life’s challenges. That doesn’t mean that you need to get used to sleepless nights, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or depressive episodes. I’ll help you make sense of why you are responding in these ways and together we’ll help you find relief. The work we do will involve radical self-acceptance.

I am so glad you are taking this step to invest in a crucial part of your well being. I specialize in working with adults struggling with cross-cultural dynamics & pressures and have20+ years of experience in NYC and Hong Kong. Are you navigating between cultures? Do you have an inner critic that tells you you're not doing, feeling or being enough? Are you armed w/ degrees/titles yet unfulfilled? You have a tendency to second guess yourself? You’re not alone! I’ve worked with an international clientele with a wide range of personalities from the anxious OCPD overachiever to the ADHD self-depracating comedian with positive outcomes.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood. Therapy should be constructive and transformative, as well as serve as an important, set aside time for self-care. We know how far the physical environment goes towards making you feel comfortable, and have a positive experience. No one wants the stress of a hectic waiting area before your session, and we have built a comfortable environment to make your therapy appointments feel like a weekly getaway from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

I welcome inquiries from individuals and couples seeking to improve their emotion regulation, communication skills, relationships; process difficult emotions and memories; increase their coping, time and stress management skills; and bolster their sleep hygiene and health. I am particularly open to working with people who feel stifled by the current political climate, those who fear being (or have been) silenced or "cancelled," as well as persons of faith. I am licensed to practice in the states of Maine, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

It requires a lot of strength and courage to ask for help. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone. I acknowledge what it took for you to seek help, and want to provide a safe, warm and comfortable environment for you to talk and open up. A strong therapeutic alliance is the key in ensuring honest, open, and constructive communication. In my sessions, I like to work together as two experts tackling your problems. I am direct, interactive, and genuine and will always be honest and upfront with you.

I work with clients to identify their most important areas for personal growth, develop plans for change, and enact that plan; by matching the therapy to the client, ensuring that every client develops tools and strategies to tackle their own personal challenges and life transitions..

I’ll work with you to explore your hidden emotions, understand where they come from, and utilize problem-solving skills to tackle your real-life issues that might cause these emotions.

It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution. I’m a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss. Whatever you’re going through, I’ll be a compassionate listener who reframes the situation and so you can see it in a different, more positive, light.

People often remark that I get to the heart of the problem quickly, and am able to clearly talk about what's happening and what can help. My own life experience—professional and personally—is diverse. In addition to conventional training, I have worked as a founder and entrepreneur, as well as creative and maker, and have studied and practiced organizational consulting. This enables me to be a good thought-partner for a range of problems. My practice is small and personalized so I can be fully present.

Are you seeking growth, healing, or a reprieve from high-stress environments? You've taken the first step by being here.

These approaches, paired with my dedication to understanding and celebrating your unique intersectionality’s, provide a comprehensive therapeutic experience. I am a Black woman of multi-cultural background, and I intimately understand the complexities of navigating multiple identities. Together, we will delve into how your unique intersectionality’s shape your world.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe that knowledge, awareness, and insight are the cornerstones of therapy. By helping increase emotional awareness and identifying their related thoughts and behaviors, I facilitate understanding of causes and triggers for anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict. An appreciation of each individual's unique background and encounters is crucial in comprehending how one relates to new information and experiences. I tailor empirically supported treatment to address emotional distress, and believe we are all active participants in our health and wellness. With the correct tools and insight, we can lead emotionally healthy, successful, and meaningful lives.
