Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in 10024
I utilize an eclectic array of therapeutic interventions including: CBT, DBT, & ACT,.
At the core, we all seek connection—to feel seen, heard, and understood. My therapeutic approach is deeply relational, where the bond between therapist and client is essential to healing. I prioritize the human experience over diagnosing, focusing on how culture, societal pressures, and the complexities of life shape our mental well-being. While I bring clinical expertise to our sessions, including a range of therapeutic modalities, I believe true progress happens when we lean into the relationship and trust built in therapy.

Compassion, radical acceptance, and lived experiences in my specialties guide my work.

I specialize in helping people find and renew their sense of self as they navigate shifts such as illness, grief, injuries, and caregiving.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the changes happening in your life? A new job or no job, a new relationship or no relationship, a new living situation or life milestone? Do you notice yourself constantly worrying about the future but feel unable to make decisions in the present? Do you feel like you are just going through the motions getting through the day with no time or desire to focus on yourself or connect with people you care about? Stressed. Out of balance. Stuck.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.

The demands of modern life increasingly necessitate managing multiple roles and stressors, while also offering numerous ways to distr act and numb ourselves through technology and other outlets. It is easy to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. I believe that psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down, examine emotional and behavioral patterns that may be ineffective, and make more conscious choices about how to live. My role as a therapist is to help you define your goals and facilitate a supportive and collaborative partnership that empowers you to achieve them.

I came to this work after decades of exposure to many forms of therapy, and have been consistently impressed with the extraordinary imp act this work has had on people's potential to evolve and thrive.
People come to my practice for many reasons, but what we all seem to have in common is a goal to feel more alive and at peace with ourselves and others, and truly connect in our relationships and with what we choose to do in the world. As an IFS therapist I work with people in a profoundly nonjudgmental way, where every past behavior, emotion, and thought can be intimately and compassionately understood. Change and growth then comes from a place of open-minded self knowledge and love... I have personally experienced transformation through this work and have witnessed its power to promote long lasting change in countless clients.
