Therapists in New York, NY

Taking the plunge into therapy can be an intimidating, yet incredibly worthwhile investment towards becoming the most fulfilled and authentic version of yourself. I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist based in NYC who specializes in working with young adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating through life transitions and experiencing anxiety, dating/relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression, complex trauma and other mental health challenges. Using a collaborative process, I work to empower my clients to identify and make meaningful shifts that they want in their lives.

The process of beginning therapy and finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and frightening. I understand and believe those who are starting this process are truly courageous and resourceful. In my experience, I have found having a safe, contained, and trusting environment to share all of one's thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be restorative and healing. Each experience is different and some clients desire short term treatment while others wish for a more long term therapeutic relationship to achieve their goals; I look forward to exploring options and co-creating a safe and productive space with those seeking therapy.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed by something in your life? Do you feel conflicted between parts of yourself? Are you frightened by something that others seem to do easily? I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma.

I have extensive postgraduate training in adult, child and adolescent psychotherapy. My practice is limited to adult (individuals and couples) and teens.

I provide supportive, psychodynamic, interactive therapy to individuals and couples. In the process of deeply exploring underlying reasons for pain and undesired behavior, I also focus on client's strengths, some of which are often undiscovered. I tailor the treatment to the client's needs and use an eclectic approach. I prefer to work with clients who are motivated and curious. My treatment approach is not limited to talk therapy. My specialites include: EMDR, which is particularly helpful to clients who are stuck in an unwanted pattern of behavior and/or who have experienced trauma.

I’m so glad you’re here- life is hard. A million and one things can contribute to feeling stuck in our day to day, distant from the things and people that spark joy, or always on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop. I have over 7 years of experience working with individuals with a wide range of challenges from all walks of life, but we will particularly work well if you are curious not just about HOW you feel, but WHY you feel that way. I am here to, at your pace, help you unload all the tough things like trauma, difficult relationships, or life events and alleviate the sadness, stuckness, or anxiety that lingers as a result.

I am easy to talk to warm and experienced. I enjoy my work (20 years) helping clients cope with challenges experienced in childhood and now as an adult. Often traumatic experiences deny clients of fulfillment. We work as a team gingerly, of course, our 45 minute sessions on Zoom or FaceTime is client centered. I want clients to achieve their goals and not be bogged down by untoward feelings, thoughts and experiences.

I offer an affirming, warm, compassionate therapy style for adults who are experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, as well as those coping with family members with special needs.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone anymore. I am specially trained to assist those who struggle with anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. I see my patients and myself as a team, and our relationship as the key to successful therapy. We’re in this together, and we’ve got this.

Life's challenges, past traumas or present stresses, can make us feel very overwhelmed. Deeply affecting our lives, relationships, and overall well-being. But you don't have to navigate it alone! I support adults in navigating trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, family conflicts, loss, depression, and anxiety, often focusing on how childhood trauma influences adulthood.

By letting things unravel, past and present experiences, you will rediscover yourself and create the path towards transformative change.

As a Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience in couples/marital therapy, I am skilled at addressing communication difficulties, loss of connection, infidelity & abuse. In individual therapy I specialize in treating relationship concerns, interpersonal struggles, family conflict, trauma, anxiety/depression, & self-esteem issues.
