Teletherapy for East Village - New York, NY

I utilize Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed treatments. I work with children, adolescents and adults with many challenges including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma, insomnia, and life and career challenges. I am an excellent listener, very empathetic, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I create a relaxed, supportive environment where you can feel comfortable sharing and grow through guided self-exploration and varying perspectives.

Do you often find yourself consumed by anxiety, wrestling with overwhelming emotions, and navigating a sense of feeling undervalued or overlooked? It feels like life is a constant struggle, and catching a break seems impossible. Perhaps you've experienced trauma that lingers, adding an extra layer of difficulty to your daily challenges. You yearn for a sense of relief, to escape from the pressures and stressors of life. Simple tasks become monumental, and you forget what it's like to feel unencumbered.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know it is a problem, but cannot seem to control it? Maybe you engage in a different sort of self-sabotaging behavior, such as binge-eating, compulsive spending or undermining your success at work. Self-sabotaging behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, are actions we choose but they feel automatic and inescapable. Often, they serve to maintain status quos, prevent growth, and imprison us in unhappy situations. I understand the pain and hopelessness that comes from repeating the same mistakes. It is never too late to change a limiting pattern.

My clients tend to be high achievers, but they suffer from anxiety, depression, and/or self-esteem issues. They are givers who put others before themselves and struggle to set boundaries. Many of my clients had tough childhoods where their emotional needs weren't fully met and may struggle with ongoing difficult family relationships. I firmly believe we all have an innate ability to heal and grow. I'm here to help you access it. Whether you feel angry, hopeless, sad, stuck, or unfulfilled in your life, together, we will figure out what you want and how to achieve your goals.​

I feel I am authentic, sensitive, warm, friendly, down-to-earth and, funny when appropriate. My inquisitive nature allows me to be a good listener. I take an approach of offering authority without being authoritarian. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to learn how to get more from life. By joining with a competent professional you can process those areas of your life that seem "stuck", overwhelming, or just bugging you. Part of our work involves learning to solve problems. We will stay focused on your goal(s) to make sure you achieve them.

I lead with an authentic and open-minded approach and believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. My hope is to help my clients find greater joy in life and feel empowered to reach their goals. With a strong foundation in a range of clinical modalities, including EMDR, CBT and DBT, I use a collaborative approach to tailor our work together based on client’s needs and individual goals.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 2+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

Maybe you're unsure of what is bothering you, but are aware that something isn’t working for you anymore. Perhaps you're supportive and patient with others, but are self-critical, high-achieving, and set unrealistic expectations for yourself. Maybe you're tired of worrying all the time or feeling stuck in cycles of thinking about the same things. Until now, you've likely been pushing yourself to cope with what you’ve been feeling on your own. If you tend to prioritize others, you may be hoping to learn how to set healthy boundaries and communicate assertively, so you can better tend to your own needs.

I am a licensed art therapist and I am passionate about the healing qualities of the creative process. Not only does art help us express difficult or confusing emotions, it can act as an incredible tool for gaining personal insight. I offer both traditional talk therapy and art therapy techniques specific to achieving your goals.

I work with people of diverse sexualities and racial/class backgrounds, from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other transitions. Clients come with anxiety, a trauma surfacing, work or relationship issues. Now most people's lives and psyches have been affected by the pandemic in some way. I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully, even joyfully. They're figuring out how to negotiate this tumultuous world while being true to their own values. They look at how society's shaping of gender, sexuality, race, class, age and (dis)ability affect their life.

My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, and adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying.
