Relational Therapists in Corona, NY

Embarking on a journey of healing with a therapist who understands your unique experience can make all the difference. As a multi-racial person raised in Queens, NY, I bring a deep cultural sensitivity and awareness to my practice. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to providing a space where a person from any background can feel safe, connected, and encouraged to become the best version of themselves. To facilitate this, I offer EMDR, Attachment/Relational EMDR, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and CBT. I also encourage the exploration of existential conflicts and find that this is often fertile ground for growth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NYC with well over a decade of experience empowering and supporting women through life transitions, losses, and breaking distressing energy draining cycles. Are you struggling in relationships, harshly self-critical, unsure of next steps in building the life you want, a new or seasoned parent and feeling triggered and overwhelmed, or experiencing a recent change or loss? Our work together will help you better attune to yourself and build a life that feels centered, authentic, full and joyful.

I find I do my best work with teens and millennial adults who struggle with childhood and complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem and self-worth issues, relational trauma and depression. Past traumatic experiences shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we regulate our emotions. I utilize the therapy space as a way to help you build empathy and understanding for yourself, develop insight into long-term relational patterns that may be holding you back, and build skills for emotional regulation.

Hello and welcome. There is tremendous potential in human potential of self-growth and positive reformation. I understand that seeking help for mental health concerns can be difficult, but it is a brave and important step towards improving your well-being and psychotherapy is an amazing tool that caters to that. Through therapy and small insightful 'aha' moments, one gains self-awareness that helps make gradual and meaningful changes, to live holistically. My work entails a journey of self discover and self love, aiming towards building a healthier inner core. In the process there is so much to learn from one another.

I want to help you feel more okay and be more equipped to navigate current challenges and stay in connection by tending to the source of your triggers, symptoms, and emotional pain that makes reality harder for you. Our subconscious inner world organizes itself around pain, and it will get creative to keep us away from overwhelming, scary, and alone experiences we have lived through. I’ll make invitations that could expand your capacity to be with hard things while feeling rooted in curiosity and compassion. When our wounds feel deeply understood by us, they transform into inner wisdom and we feel true belonging within ourselves.

I am a child and family therapist. My specialties include work with children (0-10yrs), pregnant women and adults, providing care for clients experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties. I have over 10 years of experience with trauma informed psychodynamic therapy treating adults and play therapy treating children. I am intensively trained and certified in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) which has shown to be effective in supporting and strengthening the relationship between a child and the parents as a pathway for enhancing the child’s ability to cope stress, manage strong emotions, and learn with confidence.

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.

The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term patterns of narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ and POC on topics such as: gender/sexual identity, anxiety, depression, OCD, acculturation, racial identity, social skills, and relationships. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today.

Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you're starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have stopped serving you. Whatever the hurdle is, I'm glad you're here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.

Do you feel anxious, unable to calm down, sad, or misunderstood? I look forward to meeting you. I work with adults suffering from anxiety, depression, psychological and physical aftermaths of complex trauma. I help individuals who experience significant distress because of the hard relationships with their toxic parents or partner. In fact, the hidden wounds of childhood might provoke our excessive worries, intrusive unpleasant thoughts, mood problems, relational difficulties as well as physical pain. However, even if your intense emotions are rooted in genetics or trauma, that doesn't mean the problem can't be overcome.
