Family Therapy in New York, NY
I have a particular interest in helping people with intimacy and their relationships, figuring out how to connect more deeply with others whether it is friends, family or a partner.
I am a relational psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples. I believe that therapy is a process where we come together to create a unique relationship - one that provides the safe space in which we explore and understand your inner world. It is through this understanding that we create room for growth, change and well being. Therapy is your time to connect with and explore your authentic self.

Do you want to be able to talk about sensitive topics like money, sex, household responsibilities, parenting styles, or family boundaries without conflict? I'll show you new ways to communicate so you both feel heard and understood.
Are you longing for change in your relationship? If you're feeling distant and disconnected, unheard and misunderstood, stuck in gridlock conflict, or lacking trust and intimacy, therapy can help. My training in the highly effective Gottman Method has significantly improved outcomes for the couples I've worked with. One couple recently shared, "Our relationship has improved leaps and bounds." Whether you are single and dating, moving in together or getting married, recently had kids, have been married for years, or are considering divorce, therapy can help you navigate these significant life events and emotions.

A wide variety of influences (analytic studies, marital and family training, gender studies) and interests (attachment, unresolved grief, change of life issues, addictions, post-partum and parenting issues) inform my work.
I believe in treating emotional pain as a signal that old attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are no longer working. In psychotherapy we can explore these beliefs together and decide whether they still serve you. And, we can then work to make changes reflecting emotional shifts. To do this I believe in creating an atmosphere where emotional exploration is encouraged, and the isolation, depression, and anxiety that false beliefs engender, is reduced.

A queer, biracial Black woman born into a multicultural family, one of my proudest achievements was when I became the first person in my family to earn a university degree.
I have the honor of accompanying fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals of color, especially those moving through life transitions, first-generation undergraduate & graduate students, academics, artists, writers, and those holding intersectional identities rooted in multicultural and interracial families, partnerships, and transcultural and/or adult adoption. In addition, I work with couples as well as poly individuals and ethically/consensually non-monogamous partnerships.

My clients come to me when they are experiencing an increase in stress and anxiety or are feeling sad, lonely or overwhelmed. Something in their life is not working or is suddenly more difficult than before. I help my clients develop an appreciation for their own stories and to make sense of uncomfortable feelings that prevent them from pursuing goals, that cause problems in relationships or hold them back from creating more satisfying and fulfilling social, family and work lives.

When faced with a crisis, impasse, or other stressful life situation, we all intuitively seek comfort, support and guidance. We can usually receive this from friends, spouses, and family, and while it initially makes us feel better, it often isn't sufficient to resolve what challenges us or prevent it from reoccurring. Real and lasting changes are possible, but they require trying new approaches to old problems.

Through a collaborative therapeutic process, we'll explore your emotional landscape, family & community dynamics, & the social & economic systems that shape your experiences.
Navigating our human experience can be complex, filled with challenges that prompt us to reflect on our purpose, relationships, and the societal hardships we encounter. At times, we may find ourselves dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, often influenced by anxiety, depression, or past trauma. My mission is to support you in harnessing your strengths, living mindfully, and empowering yourself to live with intention.

At times, we may find ourselves dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, often influenced by anxiety, depression, or past trauma. My mission is to support you in harnessing your strengths, living mindfully, and empowering yourself to live with intention.
I also have expertise in couples therapy, eating disorders, as well as the developmental challenges of young adulthood, such as separation from family and identity concerns.
Creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is the first step toward understanding what's standing in the way of greater life satisfaction and emotional well-being. I am interactive and direct in challenging old patterns of viewing oneself, others, and the world so as to make room for more hopeful possibilities. I believe in exploring the impact of the past on the present, yet because insight alone is often not sufficient for bringing about change, I help clients develop the concrete tools necessary to play more productive roles in their own lives.

With warmth, acceptance, and compassion, I use an experiential trauma informed approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Sometimes in life we feel disconnected from ourselves and the people we love most. We may feel a strong desire for change whether we know exactly what that change is yet or not. Maybe that change is a reconnection to who you once were or a new undiscovered version of self. Or maybe, it’s realizing that you and your partner have parts of yourselves yet to be known and understood by the other. As a therapist, I believe in the transformative power of change. I believe we all possess internal wisdom and the ability to change in ways that are needed and desired. I am also aware that change can be scary and feel impossible at times.

I have extensively trained in a variety of therapies so that I can offer integrative and highly individualized treatment that meets the unique needs of each person, couple, or family that I work with.
I am an experienced psychologist who works with adults, parents, and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. I work with those seeking general insight and self-discovery to those experiencing chronic or debilitating issues such as trauma-related problems, depression, or anxiety. I believe that successful therapy relies on a balance of feeling safe and challenged, and is best done in the context of a supportive and empathic therapy relationship.

In addition to psychodynamic psychotherapy, I am trained in the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model of therapy, which is highly collaborative in nature and is particularly effective in empowering clients to trust themselves.
Do you need to move forward in your life? I can help you to understand how the negative beliefs you hold about yourself may be preventing you from taking the steps you need to take in your personal life or career. I work hard to help my clients feel heard, understood, and safe in my office, recognizing that it is only in the context of a warm and nonjudgmental relationship that it is possible to explore the most difficult issues in a person's life--issues both unique to each individual and, in some sense, common to all of us as human beings.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
