Self Esteem Therapists in Little Neck, NY

You’re independent, driven, and successful (even if it doesn't always feel like it), but you’re feeling isolated in NYC’s fast-paced culture (oh, AND the pandemic) regardless of whether you have a partner or not. All you do is move from one stressor to the next. Plus, finding a therapist is completely overwhelming–there are SO many profiles! But I assure you, starting the therapeutic process can help you move towards a full and meaningful life. Together we will develop a non-judgmental therapeutic space, grow your curiosity and compassionate introspection, find new ways to cope with life’s challenges, and achieve your goals.

I am a clinical therapist and professor who practices in New York and Massachusetts. Many times, challenges, pain, loss, and even suffering hold just as much a place in our lives as happiness, joy, peace and triumph. Utilizing best-practices and empirical knowledge, my hope is for our journey to be an intricate process of joining and receiving; discovering and growing; learning and practicing. My approach is integrative, taking into consideration all the systems within you, including race, culture and environment. I aim to hold a warm and supportive space wherein empowerment, balance and growth can be achieved.

Hi, I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York State. People come to me for all kinds of emotional and relational challenges. I found myself work particularly well with those who have relational trauma in their family of origin, those who struggle to find themselves or trust themselves, those who experience perpetual unhappiness or loneliness despite their achievement, as well as those who genuinely seek to understand themselves deeply. I have a passion serving immigrants, expatriates, international students, the LGBTQ+ community and the marginalized, and I have worked closely with these populations over the years.

When so much feels uncertain, I am here to help you find your way from fatigue and overwhelm to peace and acceptance. The dedicated time and space of our sessions and a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship will support you in creating the fulfilling relationships and experiences you are longing for. I bring my background as a mindful-living coach to my work as a therapist, and I love to support clients who are seeking to cultivate more compassion for themselves and within their relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, no matter what is currently taking center stage in their lives.

In my practice, I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and evidence based. I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to each individual's unique needs.

While going through life, we sometimes forget to focus on ourselves. As a result, our stresses, past trauma, relationship issues, tend to catch up with us. I want to create a safe environment for individuals and couples to be able to discuss issues that may be hampering them in their daily life. I believe that the very first step to having a fulfilling life is to be able to look at your life. One of the things I always strive to do with my clients is work with them to acquire tools that can help them to not only become more self-aware but to use that self-awareness in order to make better decisions in life.
