Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 10007

Feeling disconnected from your empowerment, you often recognize the good in others but struggle to see yourself in the same positive light. Battling self-criticism, anxiety, and worst-case scenarios is keeping you awake at night and stubborn inner obstacles are hindering your needs and desires. Yearning to overcome unhelpful thought patterns and habits, you feel defeated by overwhelming emotions and alone in your experience. You long to establish nourishing practices and incorporate balance into your life, but a living with purpose feels like a faraway dream, and you feel stuck in a spiral of disappointment.

I believe that meaningful transformation is possible through the therapeutic process, and I am committed to helping you address the issues and conflicts which undermine your ability to achieve happiness and satisfaction. I have several years experience working with adults in a variety of settings (VA and private hospitals, university clinics and psychoanalytic institutes). My orientation is primarily psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, although I employ other approaches, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and self psychology interventions, where appropriate. I also believe that understanding the role of culture, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation is a vital part of treatment.

My practice is inspired by my belief that all people deserve to live fulfilling, safe, and pleasurable lives. I work in collaboration with my clients, helping them to achieve whatever contentment looks like for them from a down-to-earth and light-hearted stance of humility, non-judgment, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will make space for your feelings (even the most rejected ones), search beyond stigmatizing labels to pinpoint root causes of symptoms, create a plan for achieving your goals, and develop skills for you to cope with the present. I welcome clients questioning their identities or seeking to heal old wounds.

I am Licensed in New York, Oregon, and Washington. I have been trained in many approaches to therapy and I believe that it is my role to work collaboratively with my clients to find the approach that works best for them. I believe that healing takes place in the context of the relationship between therapist and client and that an important part of the work is developing a connection where one feels truly seen and heard. I also believe in helping my clients get in touch with deeper levels of awareness of their bodies/emotions and helping them to incorporate mindfulness practices into their lives.

You are the expert of your life, and I am here to listen, to ask questions, and to help you identify what you need to feel fulfilled.

I collaborate with clients and have experience working with diverse populations, with various presenting issues, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, family and relationship conflicts, and major life transitions.

We all deserve to be seen and heard in our fullness and complexity.

My mission is to guide people through loss and trauma toward acceptance and healing. Therapy isn't a space where we "fix ourselves," but rather where we find ourselves in our pain and discover how strong we are in the process. Going to therapy is self-empowerment. It means making a conscious decision to start exploring and accepting all parts of self so that you can feel empowered to live your best life. As a clinician, I meet each client where they are, honor their individuality and unique life experience, and co-create a space where they can feel—and heal—trauma, loss, and grief.
