Therapists in Central Park, New York, NY

My passion and focus is working with adults, adolescents, and families experiencing distress in their relationships and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in session.

At various points in our lives, we come across hurdles that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Whether you are coming to therapy due to life transitions, loss, relational issues, identity challenges, or distressing symptoms, my aim is to make you feel seen and heard as you navigate the complexities of life and work to undo patterns that are making you feel stuck. I honor the importance of the therapeutic relationship and lead with curiosity to cultivate an individualized, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for you to engage in self-exploration.

If you’re looking for help, there is a good chance that you've felt overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, or felt lost in your relationships or life itself. I collaborate with each individual and couple, helping them feel understood and seen, rather than jumping to any quick-fix solutions. Using principles and skills drawn from both skills based and compassion focused approaches, I strive to help clients learn more about their underlying values, sense of self, and patterns that have played out in their lives. Through this process, we work collaboratively to develop the skills and insight to move towards fulfillment and purpose.

It can be difficult to access the fulfillment we all deserve when it feels like we are up against a world that does not understand or value us in our entireties. I believe that the space that you and I co-create can serve as a springboard for meaningful processing of this difficulty and—ultimately—the rich, self-determined life you want to live. While centering your experiences, even those that are most challenging, I bring unconditional openness, warmth, and humor.

We believe in fostering a space that embraces diversity, inclusivity, and compassionate healing and are deeply committed to providing specialized care for individuals navigating the complex intersections of identity, mental health, and relationships.

Whatever you're facing, our practice offers the support you require on your journey toward healing and well-being.

Self-compassion is a great buzzword, but it's easier said than done. Sometimes you have to avoid or fight feelings and parts of yourself. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, worn out or conflicted. Maybe you are not satisfied with your core relationships. This could be because parts of you are stuck in past experiences and those parts are using the tools they have (like avoidance, self-criticism, anxiety...) to protect you from more pain, even though these tools don't always serve you now. Together, we can welcome and get to know each part of you slowly and safely, and introduce new tools for coping and making change.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that encourages growth and healing. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, impacts of trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I also work with clients on identity exploration and those seeking a better understanding of themselves and their story.
