Transgender Therapists in New York, NY

The road to self discovery and healing starts with a brave step forward. I facilitate a safe space where you can address any challenges and gain awareness into past patterns that may be affecting your present. You’ll explore ways fear or internal conflicts interfere with your life goals, relationships, and overall quality of life. Through this process, you’ll be able to recognize triggers and work towards breaking unhealthy cycles.

Do you have a feeling that “something” is missing from your life and you can’t quite figure out what it is? Are you moving through each day with ruminating thoughts, fears, and feeling isolated even though you may be surrounded by people? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, there is an emotional block holding you back. The main blocks to living a full life are: fear, anger, grief, and shame. These blocks are unburdened wounds that need to be revealed and shared in order to live more fully. Together, we can chart the roadmap to unburden these wounds and get you on the path that you’ve been waiting for.

In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.

Life can be hard; you don’t have to navigate it alone. You should feel proud for making the leap to help yourself.

You deserve a life filled with meaning rather than suffering – I can help you get there. I have treated a wide range of psychological disorders with patients ranging from adolescents to older adults. My therapy style is safe, warm, and accepting. I work collaboratively and will regularly check-in with you to make sure you feel comfortable and are getting what you need.

My therapeutic focus is on helping people being challenged by stress, anxiety, traumatic events, loss or grief, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, career problems, addictions and compulsions, and who are seeking to find and develop creativity and meaning in their lives.

I am trained in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and stress. I understand the many issues in dealing with international and cross-cultural relationships.

You've done the hardest part, you are doing something for yourself. You came here hopefully to address an issue that is holding you back. It is not easy to discuss our problems, our flaws, or the things that hurt us. However, you intuitively know the issues and feelings needing to be discussed. My goal is to help you initiate the change you want for yourself. I treat children, adolescents, college age students, and neurodivergent clients. I also have experience working with adults in a collaborative effort to help them with their different stages of life. I hope whatever phase you’re in we can find hope and meaning together.

As a lifelong yoga and mindfulness practitioner, I understand the value of creating space around what is most meaningful.

Issues at home, work, in relationships or within yourself can feel overwhelming--like roadblocks with no roadmap. I provide a trusted space for adults, couples and adolescents to work through difficulties that might leave you feeling stressed, confused, isolated anxious, angry, sad, or alone. We examine immediate stresses and past experiences that may be impacting your present life. I listen very carefully and supportively-not just for what may be holding you back--but also for what may help you thrive. As a licensed psychoanalyst with extensive broadcasting experience, I also specialize in social/performance anxiety issues.

Psychodynamic therapy offers the opportunity to speak about that which may feel unspeakable, shameful, or muddled. The dual process of speaking and observing what emerges is useful for confronting a range of symptoms and seemingly fixed patterns. Through careful listening and interpretation, I aim to foster insight and curiosity about your inner world that will open up the possibility for changes to be made. You are not a fixed narrative that has been handed to you, but an indeterminate and distinct human with untold truths that only you can tell.

Therapy can help you heal, grow and connect more deeply to yourself and others. In order to live a rich and meaningful life, we must accept and experience a wide range of emotions. Many of us, for a variety of reasons, get stuck in our pain, which leads to suffering, in big and small ways. Therapy can't eradicate all pain (that would be unrealistic), but it can help you work through it, heal and create more room for meaningful engagement, deep connections to self and others, gratitude and a range of emotional experience.

On any given day, we can be impacted by people or events, creating ripples in our lives. But, the more deeply we connect with our own internal values and rhythms, the more solid our footing.
