Therapists in New York

Currently accepting for black folx & relational therapy! I work with clients who are open to growth, challenging conversations, improving relationships, and values spirituality or personal development. As a relationship therapist, I specialize in guiding clients to explore healing and connect with their well-being, including relationships with themselves, others, and the world. I prioritize healthy communication, conflict resolution, and navigating emotions while emphasizing the balance between headspace and heartspace. My expertise extends to cultural, ethnic, and racial identity issues, as well as various relationship challenges.

As a therapist, I believe that collaboration between patient and therapist is critical to the success of any therapeutic process. I am influenced by relationship dynamics and family systems. My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Relational Therapy, Family Systems and Multiculturalism. I hope to help clients live authentically, explore their aspirations, and reach their own personal goals. Most importantly, my work is shaped by the person sitting in front of me.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or unmotivated? Feeling like you’ve disconnected from your life purpose? Like it’s time for a change of career or path? Unsatisfied by your relationships? Maybe, you find yourself fantasizing about a life different from the one you’re living. Change is needed, but have no idea how to make that change happen? If you are ready for that change, then let me help you. I have been working with people undergoing transition by helping them apply their strengths to action.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you find yourself doing everything in your power to discontinue previous relational patterns and behaviors? Are you struggling with self-doubt, low-self-esteem, and painful self-criticism that seems to be holding you back? My approach to therapy looks at these patterns and behaviors through the lens of parts work. This allows us to separate the self (you), from the parts that struggle with self-doubt, and from the parts that persist in repeating unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns.

I'm a licensed psychologist and I help people who may be struggling with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, and other related challenges. My approach emphasizes understanding and a nonjudgmental stance, and I work to create a safe and welcoming environment. I use evidence-based treatments to help you develop more positive ways of coping with challenges, so you can feel better, thrive, and reach your full potential.

I am a trained and experienced therapist in relational psychoanalysis as well as traumatology. I was part of bringing these two together some decades ago. In addition I understand eating problems and body image distortion. My professional writing covers these areas. I work with hypnosis, guided visualization and the body, as well as sharing a deepening conversation about you. I want to meet you right there with curiosity, warmth, growing empathy and care. I am an open and informal person by nature yet, of course, I work within professional boundaries. It is about you. I look forward to meeting you.

Are you struggling to show up for yourself with the same care, concern, and compassion you bring to others? Or maybe you’re noticing patterns that repeat themselves within your relationships, but you’re not sure how to make a change. Therapy can help you to untangle and understand difficult emotions, allowing you to make choices that lead to new, more fulfilled ways of being. I specialize in working with adults who are looking for more fulfilling relationships, meaning in their careers, and support in navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Therapy is a journey of self-awareness and liberating yourself from roadblocks that get in the way of living a full and meaningful life. It is also an avenue to manage your depression, anxiety or other emotional distress. I'm interested in your long-term growth and will assist you in identifying unconscious processes that make it difficult for you to move forward with success in your relationships, work and other endeavors.

I am a therapist who understands the importance of building rapport with my clients. In any healthy relationship, a successful therapeutic relationship is one which values honesty, transparency, acceptance, safety and trust. In me, you will find a therapist who is not only warm and inviting, but one who is willing to walk with you at your individual pace. If you are someone who is looking for homework, I will be ready with assignments in hand. Or if you just want to focus on processing through your experiences, my ears are open. You will feel heard and seen by me.

Utilizing elements of psychoanalytic and relational theories, CBT, and narrative therapy in my practice, I will work with you to overcome the challenges that are holding you back. My multicultural approach reflects my passion for serving clients of marginalized groups. As a woman of dual-cultural background and a fierce advocate for social justice, I have a deep understanding of issues experienced by different cultures and ethnicities, as they intersect with gender, identity, race, religion, sexuality, disability, and socioeconomic status.

It can be intimidating and nerve-wracking to seek out therapy. But in doing so, you are already taking the first big step towards healing and taking good care of yourself. I believe that gaining insight about our past experiences and how they continue to influence our relationships, thinking, and emotional lives is an important aspect of the healing and growth process. I also strongly believe in the experiential and relational aspects of therapy where we work collaboratively to understand how our therapeutic relationship informs the work and what it can tell us about you.

You are stuck in a dark maze carrying the crushing pressure of the world to succeed on your chest. While everybody is at the finish line of the race, you are handcuffed to the beginning of the line. The isolation and loneliness feel like a void in the pit of your stomach that is never filled. The emotions are like waves in the ocean, when it comes, it drowns you, and when it's quiet, it's boxed up in a container ready to explode. My post-grad includes the New York School for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with extensive training in AEDP (focus on here-and-now relational and body - somatic) and EMDR for dating and breakups.

Individuals and couples who see me for therapy are typically dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a low sense of self-worth, grief, and/or trauma. They are struggling to take risks with vulnerability, to process loss, set boundaries, understand the power of no, discern safe spaces, and build trust. Many of my patients are challenged by the stories their anxiety tells them, negative self-talk, sadness that makes it difficult to effectively process their thoughts and feelings, and previous traumatic experiences or vicarious exposure to trauma.
