Therapists in New York

I work with people struggling to cope with stress that leaves them feeling exhausted and disconnected from themselves and their lives. You might notice you are always thinking about the worst outcomes, unable to focus on the present, or feel constantly overwhelmed. Maybe you are just sick of feeling sick, tired, or stressed. We will focus on how your mind and body both cope with stress and focus on finding ways to help you feel present and more like yourself. I help clients live meaningful lives no matter what life throws their way.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual's life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy!

I am a mental health counselor who specializes in the field of substance abuse. I provide individual, group, and family therapy through a variety of different techniques. Creating a safe and judgment free environment is my priority to allow you to explore and process your thoughts and feelings in a healthy way. I will assist you in identifying necessary steps to make positive changes in your life.

In my journey as an MFT I’ve come to see people as experts of their own lives. I have expertise, but do not assume to be the expert of the lives of others. I listen to the stories you tell about your experiences and I seek to find how the different systems in your life (work, family, relationships, communities, etc.) affect each other and the troubles you may see me about. Within this, I also seek to find the strengths you bring to the table when facing your troubles. It may not always be obvious, but people tend to have strengths that they may not realize. I like to bring them to your attention and remind you they are there.

I am here to support children, adolescents, young adults and parents who are facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family conflict, school conflict (including avoidance), and peer conflict. I am a licensed art therapist who utilizes a combination of psychotherapy, art therapy and/or play therapy to meet my clients needs. I am trained in Attachment Regulation and Competency, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and Circle of Security. I am here to help foster difficult conversations, be reflective, build self-worth, create or enhance coping skills and improve daily living.

A safe and non-judgmental space for you. I create a nurturing environment in which you can explore your feelings and challenges safely. My orientation is mostly psychodynamic, I also practice mindfulness techniques as a way for you to stay present, engaged, and anxiety free. I am supportive but will challenge you to work hard to get the most out of treatment. I have trained in university counseling centers, state hospitals, and veterans' hospitals, treating people with a range of presenting problems and diagnoses, from everyday stressors to severe and persistent mental illness.

The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term patterns of narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ and POC on topics such as: gender/sexual identity, anxiety, depression, OCD, acculturation, multiracial identity, social skills, and relationships. Oftentimes religion and spirituality come up in my work. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today.

Sometimes life does not seem to go how you would like it to. It may feel like everything is building up and you may explode into tears. Perhaps it seems as though the more you have going on the more you feel like not doing anything at all and when you aren’t doing anything you still feel like you should be doing something. Sometimes we find ourselves being overworked and underappreciated not only by other people around us but within ourselves as well.

In my practice you will find a safe, non-judgemental place where you can stop and take stock of your life. Somewhat like a shelter when you feel stuck and need to find a way out. I work with people with issues that are very specific - a relationship/job problem, repetitive thoughts and rituals. As well as with people with problems that feel deeply perplexing - a vague and sometimes acute feeling something is wrong in their life. In either case, I can help you overcome the emotional challenge you face now and find a better footing to tackle whatever you might encounter to live a happier, more fulfilled life.

The longstanding emotional pain caused by psychological problems can greatly interfere with the quality and enjoyment of your life. For example, you may find yourself unable to feel motivated at work, anxious and depressed, disappointed in friends and family, angry and envious of others, and/or self-conscious and unsure of your abilities. These problems do not just show up overnight, and will not disappear with just a few sessions or a "quick fix" treatment. You should be skeptical of a mental health professional who offers or guarantees a quick cure.

I want to congratulate you on exploring those aspects of your life that you want to understand or change. I know how hard it is for folks to reach out for help. As you will see, I have a wide range of experience working with folks who are reaching out for help. I work with clients to establish a safe space where we can work collaboratively on the concerns you seek to address. In addition to my private practice, I am a social work professor. I pride myself on keeping current with intervention techniques that help clients reach their goals. I believe in working with someone on their strengths and looking at the impact.

Have you been trying to manage your struggles on your own, not sure of where to turn next? Do you struggle with trauma, and have tried talk therapy with little to no success? Are you stuck in reoccurring patterns that you feel are no longer serving you? My background in holistic treatments including EMDR helps clients shift out of reoccurring patterns through integrating EMDR and other modalities in with traditional talk therapy to help facilitate change for clients and get to a place of healing.

Do you feel you feel like you are carrying the weight of your past and current experiences? Do you have difficulty envisioning a different path for yourself that’s different from the one you’re in? Do you allow yourself to be seen, felt, and heard? It can be isolating and overwhelming to navigate the challenges that life poses. Know that you are not alone, and together we can embark on your healing journey. I am here to assist you with overcoming mental hurtles by utilizing your own strengths to get your there.

Whether you're navigating everyday stressors, going through a transitionary period, or wading through the impact of trauma or loss, you deserve care that sees the whole you. I work from an anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the impact of interpersonal, systemic, and intergenerational traumas. Together we'll examine the experiences, relationships, and values that have shaped your life thus far and use this to imagine and work toward a future that feels whole, well, and fulfilled.

I work with children, adolescents and adults offering psychotherapy and counseling services for anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, family dysfunction and reproductive disorders and infertility for individuals, families, couples and groups. Because I believe in the mind-body connection I also work with people to achieve healthy weight loss and optimal health offering health coaching towards learning transformational habits of health.

In my practice I work with adults who feel "stuck" in their lives, often for some time. Some of the issues people present with when seeking therapy are dissatisfaction with their partner, loneliness and desire to find a loving healthy partnership, dissatisfaction with their career path or job stress, dealing with unresolved issues from childhood/trauma or health issues to name a few. Many clients discover through the therapy process the internalized messages or internal model of the world that they have been carrying around since childhood which negatively impacts them in the present.
