Female Therapists in Financial District, New York, NY

Whatever brings you to therapy, talking to a well-trained, warm and sensitive therapist is likely to bring relief. I believe that a collaborative, genuinely caring therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy. Within the context of an empathic relationship, a person is safe to get to know her or his own feelings and habits, and where they come from. They are then unbound to repeat the same unhelpful patterns.

Beginning therapy is a brave and beautiful step. As your guide on your healing journey, my goal is for you to discover the internal strengths you already have to navigate any challenges that come your way. We’ll work together to promote self-compassion, self-acceptance, and positive changes across all areas of your life. My clients have diverse lived experiences and backgrounds. As such, I approach my practice from an intersectional perspective.

Do you ever feel like you are constantly wrestling with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, despite your accomplishments? Does the fear of being exposed as a fraud hold you back from pursuing your dreams? When imposter syndrome takes hold, every setback and disappointment can feel like proof of your unworthiness. But imagine breaking free from this cycle and reclaiming your confidence and authenticity. Together, we can unravel the grip of imposter syndrome, empowering you to step boldly into your potential and live a life aligned with your true aspirations.

Being with ourselves can sometimes be very difficult, especially in moments of change, loss, sadness, and stress. This is further complicated when new challenges touch upon older wounds and we notice unwanted repetitive patterns. As a therapist I am interested in holding space for you where you can be with yourself and make sense of your particular difficulties.

As a therapist specializing in OCD, depression, and anxiety, I invite you to embark on a journey of deep emotional transformation. In our sessions, we will use Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) to directly address the emotional challenges that lie at the heart of your struggles. ETT is a groundbreaking approach that uses precise visual brain stimulation techniques, such as color and light, to create rapid and lasting changes to your emotional experiences. Together, we will delve into the depth of your psyche, making improvements to the intricate connections between your thoughts, emotions, and overall being.

We all face challenges that keep us from feeling positively connected to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether we are partners, parents, colleagues, clients, employers, or entrepreneurs, how do we find an approach to living that allows us to acquire and sustain a sense of mastery and self esteem? Together, we can ask this question, and explore approaches to living that resonate with you.

I offer a welcoming space for individuals and couples to discuss your concerns and find new ways forward. Together with you, I look for ways to navigate life’s challenges, and support your inherent capacity for growth, providing professional guidance and a caring, candid relationship.

Congratulations to you for taking this initial step forward into your wellness journey. Through compassion, empathy, and attention, I provide a safe space for you to flourish and to grow as you address and heal your wounded parts. By establishing a warm and welcoming space, my goal is to help you to reach tangible goals and to have meaningful transformation. Together, we will do the required work to improve relationship to oneself so you can show up as your true authentic self,

The best psychotherapy is a working partnership that honors our innate healing abilities. Within the context of a caring and respectful relationship, therapy can create opportunities to resolve past pain, balance emotions, and experience the spontaneous joy and energetic flow we were born with. I love working with clients who prefer a collaborative therapeutic relationship, who are willing to do the work of healing (between-session “field work” is assigned regularly), who are comfortable with, or curious about, a nonlinear approach (rather than strictly cognitive or “talk therapy”).

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

Are you seeking to enhance your happiness or prosperity? Do you find that your rational thoughts conflict with your emotional responses? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or struggling in your relationships? Is OCD creating obstacles? I provide a gentle method for uncovering your genuine and empowered self. Rather than seeking a cure, life can be managed, explored and comprehended. Consciousness raising is imperative. We can learn to meditate, listen, be effective and meet needs. Leadership and transformation require intention and attention. It may be time to explore your emotional well-being, and take charge of your life.

Hello! Healing begins here. My is goal to help you discover deeper insight to facilitate transformation. I do not believe in strictly "managing" mental health symptoms. I want to empower individuals to analyze and understand themselves, then use that knowledge to make positive changes. I want to provide a place where you feel supported and cared for because healing comes from identifying and treating the root causes of our distress, which is not always easy or pleasant to uncover. Through this difficult work, we are a team. My approach is straightforward; I want to talk with you and not at you. I want to listen, but not passively.

Usually, the choice to pursue therapy comes at a time when we feel deeply disconnected, unable to re-center and re-connect on our own. Maybe the obligations you carry leave you exhausted and unfulfilled; perhaps it seems those you live with cannot really see you and don’t appreciate your efforts; or maybe your life has been turned upside-down by illness, the loss of a loved one, or a romantic break-up. Maybe you’re not sure why you feel off-balance, you just know something is wrong. Whatever your story, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
