Therapists in 10010

In my twenties, I saw a therapist who was completely silent (the traditional way) and wasn’t helpful at all. Then I saw another who was intellectually and emotionally “there” and changed my life. He inspired me to become a psychotherapist and to practice in a collaborative way that lands with my patients.

I often find that bringing awareness to underlying conflicts while providing tangible support provides the most lasting results. I have advanced training in psychodynamic techniques as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Your needs and how you wish to approach them will drive our work together.

My aim as a psychotherapist is to provide a supportive and safe environment where open expression and exploration of thoughts and feelings can freely take place while a trusting therapeutic relationship is established. In a collaborative process, together we may explore underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors leading to new insights and greater understanding of one self. With greater awareness, we can identify your life goals, change undesirable behaviors, improve relationship patterns, and achieve greater self-acceptance. Ultimately my interest is to help you realize and achieve your full potential in every capacity of your life, be it personal, relational, or professional.

Are you suffering? Do you feel like you are out of touch with your best self? Do you question your own role in life, in your relationships, work?

For 15 years, I was a NYC public school teacher working in specialized high schools and that experience has informed my understanding of how our intersectional identities influence how comfortably we move in our world today. I believe that personal, cultural and societal narratives can influence who we are and what we believe we can achieve. I use an Anti-Bias Trauma informed lens to help all people navigate life’s provocations. I am also an avid gamer and use video & tabletop games, RPGs and other staples of Geek culture in my work with some clients to build empowering metaphors of their life experience.

At Orchard Blue Counseling Services (OBC), our focus lies in assisting children and adolescents. We are dedicated to delivering culturally-affirming, holistic psychotherapy with deep sensitivity and understanding towards diverse communities. As a NYS Contractor and DOE vendor, we provide school based mental health and wellness services, community workshops and speaking engagements.

While I am trained and experienced in evidence based practices, I realize the basis for results in therapy is a trusting and nonjudgmental relationship. While supporting clients in personal growth by supporting identification of values, strengths and goals, I emphasize practical strategies that can be generalized to address the challenges of everyday life. I work with teens and adults including professionals who are looking for support in managing career related stress, and parents seeking support to enhance family relationships as well and strategies to support their children with mental health or behavioral challenges.

I work with clients who are looking to increase their self-understanding and are interested in exploring patterns in their lives that are no longer serving them. As a woman who became a mother later in life, I understand the pull many people feel to become parents and how the process can drastically change one’s life. I work with both adults and children to provide guidance on creating healthy boundaries and relationships, as well as navigating the challenges we face in life.
