Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Grand Central, New York, NY

I view psychotherapy as a way to reach intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. I combine psychoanalytic understanding with mind-body techniques. I focus on uncovering patterns and barriers that prevent you from reaching your potential and become your true self. Psychotherapy is a process that allows us to gain insight into better understanding of yourself and others, to learn new, more constructive ways of dealing with difficulties, and more enjoyable ways of relating to others and yourself. It is a way to uncover clarity of our past, present, and future, which can lead to wisdom of oneself, life, and the peace of mind.

Congratulations on taking your first steps toward insight, clarity and peace. Whether you are stuck and struggling or striving for your personal best, you'll find a judgment-free space, an empathetic listening ear and constructive questions to help you consider new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others. We'll identify and use your strengths to help you respond in healthy ways to stressors such as trauma, relationship and work drama, loss, and change. I and my team work with creative artists, professionals, couples and individuals, and I'm particularly interested in working with women and people of color.

Have you felt any of the following: not enough, alone in crowds, empty inside, afraid of the world, sad most days, nervous, loss of interest or pleasure, loss of sleep, change in appetite? If you have felt any, some, or all; YOU are not alone. My passion is to partner with you in order to move through feelings and thoughts in a safe space. To help you quiet the inner judge/critic and rise above to a place of inner safety, joy, and love. To support your transformation of the person you were truly meant to be, and for you to believe "I am more than enough".

Most folks I collaborate with are navigating the aftermath of trauma or adverse experiences, seeking pathways to healing. They confront challenges such as C-PTSD, eating concerns/body image issues, and codependency, with the aim of identifying triggers and managing unwanted behaviors more effectively. Their journey is towards processing past traumas, fostering resilience, and reclaiming their lives. They aspire to convert their pain into strength, nurturing healthier relationships with both themselves and the surrounding world.

Feeling seen, heard, and valued are paramount to our wellbeing.

Whether in a crisis, or wanting to reexamine life goals, together we make meaning out of your lived experiences and support you in creating the life and relationships you aspire for.
