Emotionally Focused Therapists in New York, NY

I believe in being an active collaborator in psychotherapy sessions. My style is warm, frank, and attentive to the processes of healing and change. Therapy is not a one size fits all type of experience. Using creativity, exploration and feedback, we will discover the unique combination of insight, emotional processing, coping skills and lifestyle changes that will help you reach your goals and enhance your sense of well-being.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I hold that exploring our motivations, inner conflicts and personal histories in a safe context can mobilize greater self-awareness, flexibility, and changes to problematic or painful modes of relating to ourselves and to others. I aim to foster a collaborative and responsive therapeutic environment informed by the specific needs and goals of each of my patients. I take a strengths-based approach and work to scaffold and reinforce the resources that each client brings with them.

Life can feel disorienting and overwhelming, when you navigate experiences of trauma, grief, anxiety, or faith related wounds.

Through Integrating your experiences, we work towards helping you feel more whole and empowered so you can regain meaning and a sense of purpose. We explore your pain, reconcile conflicts, and build a healthy relationship, allowing you to strive toward your goals!

The decision to begin psychotherapy is a courageous act. I admire those willing to begin a journey towards transformation, and I am honored to walk beside them in their pursuit for happier, more productive and successful lives. For individuals and couples, a psychotherapeutic experience is an opportunity to heal painful wounds, improve communication, increase awareness and insight into one's emotional life, and open oneself to new and better experiences. No matter the presenting problem, psychotherapy can be a deeply rewarding and life-altering experience. I am a clinical psychologist, who utilizes various techniques and interventions.
