Teletherapy for Grand Central - New York, NY

"Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of up and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair"- Rick Warren. We all struggle with past or present situations that can get in the way of us living our lives wholeheartedly and that have an impact on the connection with oneself and others. Whenever you are going through a difficult time and you are confused about what is your next step, connecting with a trained therapist can be very helpful.

I provide traditional talk therapy and art therapy. Oftentimes it can be difficult to discern what exactly we are feeling, but I find that recognizing the way emotions present themselves in our bodies can help anchor our understanding and process confusing experiences. Sometimes feelings can be so overwhelming that the idea of putting them into words feels impossible, but through therapy we can do it together. I work through a trauma-informed lens and focus on collaboratively fostering a sense of safety, empowerment, human connection, and a sense of agency.

The stressors of everyday life can become overwhelming with the uncertainty of tomorrow. We're quickly filled with anxiety when feeling unprepared for these uncertainties. With our bodies designed for survival, symptoms of anxiety become easily integrated into our daily life. If you’re wishing to improve your quality of life, I’m glad you found yourself here as I can confidently tell you this is absolutely possible. People are rarely told what it takes to create a happy & fulfilling life, but that’s the beauty of it: YOU have the POWER to create it. I can help you gain the necessary tools to create the life you’ve always envisioned.

Life's journey of fluctuations with unexpected & painful circumstances can leave us experiencing prolonged sadness, pervasive anxiety, and overwhelming stress. My passion as a therapist is to provide an authentic and empathic space for you to process and navigate your emotions, while enhancing your strengths & self-worth. I take a holistic approach to therapy. With more than 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I work with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, work-related stressors, and marital/couple's issues. I am also dedicated to working with clients who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD.

If you are struggling with your mental health you are not alone. Seeking someone to speak to is the first step to overcoming your hardest times. I strive to help individuals explore difficult topics such as their anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career or day to day struggles. Together we can work to develop coping skills and explore ways to accomplish any goal you set out to succeed in. I am currently working toward my licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and currently hold a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC-II) certification.

Issues, needs, and goals tend to vary from person to person, but what everyone comes to therapy seeking is relief from the toll of stressors and an improved quality of life. Whether you are navigating a major life transition such as divorce or career change or you are experiencing acute anxiety or depression, the aim will always be to help you gain clarity and work towards living the life you want.

I am dedicated to and passionate about working with adults, young adults and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety-related disorders. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, having provided counseling services to this age group within school settings for over a decade. I have also worked at Monte Nido and Affiliates, a residential eating disorder facility for individuals ages 18 and older, where I provided therapeutic services to clients using a behavioral lens.

I work with high-functioning professionals whose stressful lives are causing relationship issues, depression, or anxiety. I have a passion for helping organizational leaders better manage their work-life balance. By talking things through with an expert you can get a better handle on your difficulties, and realize your potential.

I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where my clients feel at ease to work on their personal journey toward change. Oftentimes, it is what is not being said that becomes the focus of the session. Therefore, I help my clients develop a voice and find a way to effectively express their pain and struggles. I believe anxiety, fear, and pain are often obstacles to an individual’s growth. These emotions, along with one’s unhelpful thoughts and problematic behaviors, can be barriers to change. Therefore, I assist my clients in identifying therapeutic goals that are focused on freeing oneself from these roadblocks & barriers.

Also, if you are a parent and this information reflects your child, I specialize in working with them too!

Sometimes, coping can become exhausting and dull. Maybe what you have been doing is not working anymore, or you are looking for a place to start. When you are overwhelmed with issues of anxiety, struggling in your interpersonal relationships, or with your own identity and sexuality, with no relief, it is time to try something different. I believe so much of the therapeutic process finds success through connection and self-awareness. I aim to co-create a comfortable and open space to explore these challenges and to honor and support you in your decision to prioritize your mental health.

I work with clients to explore issues from all angles, while providing a listening ear and the helpful tools to work through the issues they are grappling with.

Starting therapy is a courageous endeavor. You may be feeling stuck in a rut, having trouble managing stress, or struggling with your relationship with food.

There are times we find ourselves struggling and straying further away from the life we want. We’re juggling daily demands, roles, and relationships, while just trying to keep it together. We begin to recognize that old ways of coping aren’t working anymore. Although painful and uncomfortable, this awareness is where growth and healing begins. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to freely explore and be curious about what has brought you here. We will work on deepening awareness, building skills, and making meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals - a therapy that enlightens and empowers.
