Therapists in New York, NY

When we are faced with difficulties in our lives, we may feel overwhelmed. We may respond to these feelings with shame and anger towards ourselves. As a therapist, my goal is to help you develop curiosity and compassion for yourself and your emotions so that you can approach life's inevitable ups and downs more creatively and effectively. In my practice, I work with people from all walks of life. Many of my clients work in the performing and visual arts. I have a particular interest in helping clients who suffer from insomnia, and I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

I am an Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College and an Assistant Attending Psychologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital with extensive experience helping adults from diverse backgrounds overcome a wide range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, addiction, trauma, acculturation, minority stress, and LGBTQ issues. I am committed to providing a nonjudgmental and supportive environment that allows you to express yourself freely and feel heard fully. I strive to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and an authentic connection with you.

I specialize in treating depression and anxiety disorders (including OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, panic, and social anxiety) as well as insomnia, relationship/marital issues, weight issues, and coping with chronic illness (e.g., heart disease, cancer and cancer recovery) and pain. I have extensive training and expertise in both cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and interweave these approaches to help individuals explore the inner workings of the mind while also facilitating change in a warm and supportive environment.

Are you feeling burnt out and exhausted from all the demands and stresses in your life? It’s hard to feel good when you’re feeling depleted and overwhelmed. Life doesn’t have an easy mode for most of us. Stress, trauma, and loss can make it hard to stay on top of our responsibilities and manage problems like anxiety, and depression. Despite the challenges that have gotten you down lately, you don’t have to be stuck here. You can heal all parts of you and reclaim your sense of wholeness and worthiness.

You are more than a body. So when your body is struggling, it makes sense that you would also struggle mentally, emotionally, socially or even spiritually. I can help you through this. I am a clinical psychologist with leading expertise in providing psychotherapy to individuals dealing with health concerns (high stress/tension, coping with illness, disease or disability, fear of progression/recurrence, reducing physical symptoms, body image/changes, impact on relationships, communicating with loved ones, coping with depression, anxiety, or isolation, spiritual distress, enriching meaning, or even support facing end of life).

NOT currently accepting new clients. On leave Feb-May 2024. Starting therapy for the first time or re-initiating therapy after a break can be daunting; but most things worth doing involve some risk. Many of my clients are quite successful, but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their life such as self-confidence, mood, relationships, or sleep. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period of your life, relief from anxiety, rest from your struggle with insomnia, regained security after a traumatic event, healing after a loss, or simply deeper self-knowledge: Therapy is a risk worth taking.

Therapy is an experience that can benefit everyone. It allows us to take the time to look closely at ourselves. It can help us manage difficult life changes and improve our relationships. Everyone experiences stress and worry, and speaking with a psychologist who is nonjudgmental and objective can help us understand how to achieve our professional, personal, and relationship goals.

I help individuals, couples, and parents tap into their strengths in order to overcome challenges and thrive in the face of stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep deprivation, ADHD, postpartum mood challenges, career changes, and relationship difficulties. My background as a former high school athlete (Football, Tennis, & Wrestling) provides a frame for working with competitive men and women. My clients describe me as warm, humorous, collaborative and results driven. I'm a pragmatic clinician with an expertise in empowering people to access their best potentials during life transitions such as premarriage, first time parenthood, job transitions, divorces, & deaths.

Life can be challenging, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed at times. Whether you're grappling with relationship issues, work stress, or feeling stuck, these obstacles can lead to anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns. You may fear that others are judging you or that something terrible will happen. Perhaps you are having difficulty living up to high standards set by yourself or others, ultimately hindering you. The good news is that you don't have to face these challenges alone. I am here to help you develop effective strategies and tools to embrace life to the fullest, fostering a sense of control and freedom.

I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist that draws from current research to tailor treatments for each client. Whether it may be your first time to a psychologist or if you may want to try a different approach, both decisions are the product of a considerable amount of bravery. I believe that a non-judgemental, collaborative, and trusting relationship is the foundation for change to occur.
