Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in New York, NY
I am an integrative and eclectic therapist who incorporates a range of styles that include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, sex positivity, and mindfulness skills.
I am often asked, "am I normal?" It's valid to want to know if other people have the same stressors, anxieties, wants and desires as we do. I encourage my patients to challenge the idea of normalcy, rather than measuring their thoughts, actions, and emotions against external standards. As your therapist, I act as an open-minded, unbiased, and nonjudgmental third party who can reflect with you, challenge you, and help guide you toward better insight into yourself and the world around you.

My approach is relational and psychodynamic, while integrating aspects of DBT & CBT, when appropriate.
Whether you're starting college, changing careers, or becoming a parent, transition is hard. And major life transitions often kick up difficult emotions and memories that maybe we thought we'd already worked through. I work with clients navigating major life transitions and all that comes with them. This can include bodily changes, shifting relationships, grieving how things used to be, questioning identity, and navigating all of this without losing yourself in the process. Changes is hard, and these questions are difficult; they're also ones we can explore and work through together.

I am trained in various evidence-based methods, including: CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and DBT.
My ideal client is someone who is trying to figure out who they are and how they want to show up in different settings. Someone willing to do the work and looking for some assistance or direction. I see therapy as a way of facilitating connection and growth. Therapy with me isn't meant to be indefinite. My goal is to empower clients to learn and apply skills to continue to work on their own even after we stop working together; to be their own therapists.

Through my experience working in a multitude of mental health settings, I have always returned to DBT skills in treatment.
As a DBT therapist, I work with individuals who may have struggled with suicidal ideation, self harm, substance abuse, emotion dysregulation, and difficulties with relationships. Often I see clients who identify as highly sensitive and have a hard time accepting this about themselves due to the intensity of their emotions. It is my goal to assist these individuals in understanding the absolute strength their sensitivity can be once they learn to not only self-regulate, but embrace this quality. I believe the most beautiful thing about DBT treatment is the primary goal of getting clients to live a life they truly find worth living.

I use CBT, DBT, & ACT to understand a person's world.
My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.

I utilize a blend of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based interventions, existential, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches.
An effective therapy experience is one that supports a person in recognizing their own capabilities and potential, while using strengths to mitigate challenges. My hope is to assist you in cultivating a deeper understanding of your own intrapsychic road map and emotional terrain. I am a firm believer that every session should give you a piece of your own puzzle and over time help you gain the skills to navigate your own thoughts, control your behavioral and emotional responses, and understand your relationship patterns and conflicts.

I am intensively trained in and use DBT as a general framework.
I work with teens and young adults that are struggling with their emotions getting in the way of the life they want. My clients want concrete tools to manage their emotions and a safe, easy-mannered place to practice those skills. I take a flexible approach to meet you where you are at, while also helping you change to get closer to who you want to be. I will work to learn what you need in different situations, whether that's a validating space to talk through an emotion or an problem-solving space identify ineffective patterns. I know that therapy is tough and emotional, but do not believe it always has to be serious.
