My clients include adolescents, families, couples and adult individuals.

My approach is creative, spiritual and client centered. I employ multi-modalities including but not limited to psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Gestalt which I tailor to the clients’ individual style and needs.

My passion has always been helping individuals and families through challenging times. I offer a safe space for participants to express themselves, explore concerns and learn new ways to cope with stressors. I love to look for everyone’s strengths and incorporate that in healing. I'm an ally to LGBTQ+ community and I am sensitive to neurodiversity. I offer session in both English and Spanish to children, adults, families and couples. Ofrezco sesiones en español.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or your family in NYC can be a daunting task. I specialize in work with children, teens, and adults and am here to help you with this process as all individuals can benefit from talking with someone who is honest, direct, and compassionate.

I have extensive experience helping adults and children manage anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions. I can help you examine the causes and develop a coping plan. We can explore your individual goals and examine unhelpful habits and patterns that stand in the way.

I work with all ages, but specialize in children, adolescents and young adults. My approach is eclectic, grounded in a psychodynamic orientation that utilizes a variety of tools, tailored to individual needs. My clients and I work toward goals in a non-judgmental atmosphere of empathy and understanding. Some issues I have been able to help people with are: relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self esteem, parenting, childhood issues such as separation anxiety, behavior and school problems, ADD, adoption, and divorce. I also have experience with artists and the issues they face. Therapy makes positive change!

With over 30 years experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and teaching parenting skills, my attachment based approach works to help you overcome obstacles that block your potential so you can reach your goals. Children need a safe and playful space to work through difficult issues. Expressive arts approaches and DBT methods are effective when words are not enough. My compassionate and down to earth style examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships and symptoms of trauma.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

I am a Bilingual/Bicultural therapist who takes pride in working with clients of diverse backgrounds. As your therapist my goal is to work with you in a collaborative way, using a culturally humble lens and awareness that "one size does not fit all." In my practice I work with Pre-Teen/Tweens, Adolescents, and Adults in an effort towards identifying solutions that promote growth, healing and life satisfaction through use of the therapeutic relationship.

One seeks out a therapist because they are suffering. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety, depression or boredom. Or you struggle with a compulsion, substance use, or issues related to work, intimacy or relationships. Maybe you are unsure what is bothering you, but sense that something in your life is not working. Whatever it may be, therapy offers you a chance to speak freely about what troubles you. By talking to someone who will listen closely and without judgment, we can find ways out of painful repetition and into a more vital, authentic life.
