Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Battery Park City, New York, NY

I am a licensed clinician that graduated from NYU School Of Social Work in 1993. Through the years I developed extensive experience in providing psychotherapy to thousands of clients suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, losses and relationship concerns. I am passionate about proving a safe nonjudgmental environment where our work allows you to a deeper understanding of obstacles in achieving skills that leads to a happier and peaceful life.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. The ideal client is open, courageous, and dedicated to their personal growth. They engage in therapy with honesty, ready to explore and understand their inner world. Embracing change with patience and self-compassion, they recognize that healing is a journey. Life is too precious to spend in bad relationships, holding grudges, letting trauma control us, or feeling anxious and angry. Together, we can create a supportive and safe space to work towards a healthier, happier self.

I specialize in treating adults with: Relationship & Couples Issues, Trauma and PTSD, and Mood & Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Our emotions and feelings take a toll when they go unaddressed, affecting our relationships, self-worth and general life satisfaction. So often, these emotional problems stem from our family-of-origin and intergenerational traumas & wounds. While we can feel that something is wrong, the path to healing, recovery and health can feel messy and out-of-reach. Our feelings are not a reflection of reality because we can experience freedom from the dysfunctional patterns in our lives.

I offer a safe space in which you can be fully seen and valued for who you are, while developing new tools for navigating life’s challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, multicultural, and focuses on understanding you as a whole person. I offer a sex-positive, LGBTQ affirming, and strengths-based space. Through healing and self-exploration, we will implement skills together that can help you manage life stressors and improve your life, whether that is improving relationships, managing anxiety, overcoming trauma, building self-esteem, enhancing connection to life, help with feeling stuck, or making peace with tormenting thoughts.

I am psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples. If you’re feeling like something is missing and finding it difficult these days to feel grounded in yourself, I want to help you figure out what’s getting in the way so you can feel like your true self again. Unresolved grief, trauma, feelings of abandonment, shame, and anger can hide in the unconscious mind and keep us stuck in toxic patterns that ruin relationships, sex and our sense of self. Anxiety, fear, and unmanaged stress can wreak havoc on our ability to hold on to a sense of hope.
