Female Therapists in Washington Heights, New York, NY

Development throughout life can be a wonderful journey, but sometimes challenges appear that are much easier to master with some help and guidance. During those times psychological treatment can provide assistance. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience in the areas of educational psychology, cognition and mental health. My combined training provides me with a unique understanding of how children, adolescents and young adults think, feel, and learn in a variety of settings. My goal is to provide practical, research-based strategies to children, adolescents and young adults experiencing educational, social, family and emotional difficulties. I offer my services in English and Spanish.

Life happens and challenges come up. Maybe it's old stuff; issues from childhood that are having an impact now or a traumatic event that has not healed. Maybe it's brand new; grieving the loss of a relationship or struggling as a new mother. Maybe there is a feeling of being stuck and needing guidance and support to find a new way. My approach blends traditional psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to resolve current stress, release long-standing emotional and behavioral patterns and develop tools to use outside of therapy.

I believe it is an honor to be trusted with a person's deepest emotions and fears. And it is through this trusted therapeutic relationship, the miracle of healing takes place. I will challenge you in a supportive environment to take steps and go to places that you have been afraid of exploring. And together we will look at these issues that have been holding you back from achieving your fullest potential.

I understand the vulnerability, trust and courage it takes to engage in psychotherapy and confide your deepest worries, fears and desires in someone.

You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work on developing the mechanisms you need to cultivate inner peace and harmony as you weather some of your life’s transitions.

I want to work with clients who want to get connected with their authentic selves and gain increased freedom and choice in how they express themselves to others. I work with clients to reduce symptoms that cause emotional pain and block authenticity, and I foster clients’ curiosity to explore new ways of relating to themselves and others. Through this process, I strive to help clients experience the delight and satisfaction of connecting with themselves, create more fulfilling relationships with others, and increase their ability to reach their personal goals.

My intention is to create a welcoming, depth-oriented and respectful therapeutic relationship. I lean toward a holistic approach that recognizes the wholeness of all persons and individualizes treatment. The value of genuine warmth, feeling seen and unconditional positive regard is not lost on me. My style pulls from multiple theoretical lenses, such as a Narrative, Somatic, DBT, Trauma-informed and Humanistic lens. Mindfulness and spirituality are intertwined in my work. From a multicultural lens, I welcome all genders, expressions, populations and sexualities.
