Female Therapists in Yorkville, New York, NY

In our daily lives, we may find ourselves battling feelings of anxiety or depression, or struggling with work or relationship problems. These issues often emerge from ideas we have about ourselves and the world that were established so far in the past that we may not be fully aware of how they can hold us back in our present lives. As debilitating as these distresses can feel, they also have within them the power to reveal unknown aspects of yourself. They can guide you towards realizing unfulfilled hopes, dreams, and passions, if we only know how to listen to the messages that lay with our moments of deepest psychological hardship.

I strive to be a therapist who is challenging and direct without being judgmental; is open-minded and encouraging of my clients to explore options in their lives that may be different than my own or others around them. I am someone who doesn't rush to diagnose and pathologize, but rather seeks to understand. I am not invested in the choices my clients make, I am invested in my clients making choices from a place of wholeheartedness. And specifically, I have a keen understanding of the intricacies of intimacy and sexuality within relationship to oneself and community. As long as we "fail forward" together, we are perfectly imperfect

I am an alternative-lifestyle-affirming clinical psychotherapist, who strongly believes in the power of collaboration, affirmation, and supportive exploration, to help the people I work with achieve their goals. My work is not limited to, but includes people and communities associated with non-monogamy/polyamory, BDSM/kink/fetish, LGBTQ/TGNC, & sex work. My goal is to help you explore, understand, integrate, and feel safe as you discover your most authentic self. Once we learn to understand the driving processes behind our thoughts, behaviors, and patterns, we are better able to envision a path forward.

Therapy is what you make of it. It can be a great space for self-discovery and improvement, or to process and work through difficult emotions. Sometimes, we just want to be heard, seen, and understood. As your therapist, my hope is to create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can feel free to be your authentic self. When passion, humor, and creativity are incorporated into sessions, it can truly nourish the therapeutic space and your potential.

As a therapist with a disability, I have a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering. I have learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities," with the help of my guide dog Faith, as she literally guides me around obstacles, and has enhanced my life, turning around an otherwise insurmountable feat. Decades of clinical and life experience, keen intuition, along with compassion and a holistic, evidenced-based approach, and a sense of humor, are some of the key ingredients leading my clients towards feeling better, finding direction and actualizing potential.

My mission is to help you tap into your unconscious mind. With the knowledge, skills and awareness I've attained, I very carefully guide you to look back into your childhood, adolescence and adulthood. In doing so, I can help you to heal from past wounds of verbal, psychological, physical and/or sexual trauma/abuse, grief & bereavement and/or anger & resentment.

Emotional suffering and pain originate from the early childhood experiences which shape our minds. The haunted ghost from our past takes residence in our minds so that we repeat unhealthy patterns and continue suffering and pain. How can we free ourselves from the ghost spell? By providing a holding environment and sharing my genuine curiosity and psychoanalytic understanding, I help my patients sever the tie to the ghost from the past and break the spell. Insights into the root of their symptoms and difficulties and a new experience in a therapeutic relationship lead to psychological change, greater freedom, and enriched lives.

My clients often struggle with the effects of anxiety, stress, depressed mood or low self esteem. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment that enables my clients to express and process their emotions/concerns while learning healthy coping mechanisms.

You excel in one or more areas of your life, yet you silently struggle with feelings of being unworthy and unlovable. Sometimes you may even feel like an outsider in your own life. Maybe you buy nice things, or go on amazing trips, but for some reason you still don’t feel happy. You may hide behind your work and push people away because you are afraid to let them know who you really are. This is not what you want to be doing but you can’t help it. This is not your fault. You are doing the best you can with the resources you were given. At The Empowerment Opportunity, we will help you tap into different resources within yourself.

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents. While the specific focus of therapy is individualized according to each child’s needs, much of the work I do centers around helping individuals develop self-awareness, healthy relationships, problem solving skills, and the ability to identify, regulate, and express emotions adaptively. I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively.
