Bisexual Therapists in New York, NY

Welcome! I am currently accepting clients and I'm here to support young adults, teens and queer/LGBTQIA+ individuals in forming deeper connections to themselves and navigating life's challenges. In a safe and affirming environment tailored to your personal needs and goals, we'll explore themes such as self-acceptance, identity, relationships, and personal growth. We will address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and mind/body concerns while nurturing resilience and fostering healthy boundaries and self-trust. I'm here to accompany you on your journey toward personal growth and overall well-being.

Are you struggling to navigate major life transitions or the challenges of emerging adulthood? Or perhaps you're experiencing grief or loss and need support to make sense of your emotions? Whatever you're going through, know that you don't have to face it alone. As your therapist, I'm here to provide you with the guidance and support you need to work through these challenges to find a sense of purpose and direction in your life to ultimately find your light again. Let's work together to help you navigate life's ups and downs and find the inner-peace you deserve.

Many people turn to therapy because they have carried an enduring sense of lack for years, even after having achieved conventional success. Others encounter a similar sense after a sudden loss or change in circumstances. Often what is lacking is the language needed to render inner life legible. When distress arises, our natural inclination is to speak, but shame, fear, and guilt frequently compel us to keep things inside. A deep listener facilitates putting words to inner confusion and fosters realizations that would not have been achievable otherwise. This is what makes “talk therapy” therapeutic.

Do you have a difficult time expressing yourself and the fullness of your being with words alone? Sometimes words are not enough, especially when emotions and narratives get locked in the body. Are you ready to feel more grounded, balanced, whole, present, and unrestricted? Are there stories to unearth within that you would like a deeper understanding of? As a dance therapist, I work with those who are seeking another way to express themselves.Whether it is through movement exploration or talking, I provide a space to work through life's challenges, offering you the opportunity to enhance your self-esteem, self-worth, and intuition.

The decision to enter therapy is courageous and important. Removing obstacles (such as anxiety and depression) that prevent well being and overall happiness, creating and enhancing relational experiences, coping with trauma, grief and loss or reaching professional goals are worthy and healthy desires. Whatever the precipitant to ones decision, we all have a need to be respected, heard, understood, and to feel safe, cared for and truly "gotten". It is both my belief and years of experience that tells me these conditions are necessary for long lasting, transformational change to occur. Together, we will actively work on helping you achieve your therapeutic goals

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper sense of understanding and fulfillment in your life. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviors you will begin to develop more self-awareness and self-acceptance. We often find ourselves feeling stuck, unmotivated, anxious or depressed. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight, heal from past wounds and work towards your goals in a supportive and collaborative environment. Using a variety of treatment techniques including mindfulness, psychodynamic and evidence based practices, I work collaboratively with you to explore ways to achieve a happier and healthier life.

You are living the dream. You have a great career, a lovely home, and a solid support network. People all agree that you’re doing great. But you don’t see it. Everyone is proud of you and values what you do; everyone except you, that is. And you’re unsure why there’s such a discrepancy between your self-image and the image of you that everyone else has. You begin to wonder if it stems from an earlier time in your life when you were forced to hide who you really were. You've gotten so used to pretending to be someone else that you feel like a fraud. You’ve lost touch with your authentic self and don’t know how to get it back.

Are you feeling uncertain whether or not your issues deserve to be shared, or if you want to share them at all? Starting therapy can be scary and exciting at the same time. I will gently guide you to ease into this journey. Gradually, we will together build a warm space for you to relax, express, struggle and grow.
