Therapists in 10005

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

I have a personal mission to enhance the life and self-sufficiency of individuals and groups in need of support. I provide a creative approach to my therapeutic services in order to promote a healthy mind, body and soul within my clients. I take pride in celebrating the culturally diverse populations in which I service, in hopes of cultivating each persons individual journey towards wholeness.

My philosophy is simple in regards to problem solving, effective communication, improving relationships, working towards reaching a personal maximum potential and in healing from trauma. It’s to identify thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs. I believe that as soon as a person is able to communicate these four insight oriented drives, life immediately begins to improve and problems get solved. While this may sound easy, for many people it takes time to gain insight, self-evaluate, uncover and accept why we are the way we are (ie: biology and life experiences), decide on and follow through on changes to make in their life.

It is a big step to get into therapy. It is really important to find a trained therapist who listens and cares. As a therapist, I have expertise treating anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. My clients are a wide mix of people who are looking to understand themselves better, to cope better, and to make change in their lives. My clients report that I am a kind and experienced therapist. I am also, at heart, a practical person who looks for solutions. I also provide clinical supervision for therapists who are pursuing licensure, want to improve their skills and/or want to get more support for their practice.
