Health Net Therapists in Rego Park, NY

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Sometimes we just need a listening ear to talk to. Attachment histories may have impacted us in ways that make it difficult to trust. It could be feeling completely misunderstood by others with their own agendas, not being validated for the truth, or maybe feeling invisible? We will overcome obstacles through a relational and psychoanalytic lens to uncover what is beneath our frustration with daily life struggles. My interests lie in helping uncover what is beneath the pain, frustration, guilt, and shame. It is imperative for psychologists and therapists to also have been in therapy to heal.

Enriched by a diverse international background forged through professional and lived experiences abroad, and extensive counseling & programming expertise across multicultural U.S cities, I am committed to culturally-informed therapies. Changing times can spur heightened stress, anxiety, depression, anger, sleep issues, loss of identity, impact physical and spiritual health, cause family/relationship difficulties, and awaken hidden traumas. As navigating uncertainty, isolation and chronic worries is becoming increasingly common, being attuned to mental health is essential for one's well-being.

Within each of us is a deeper or higher self we can contact. Through Meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, and Gestalt Therapy, I help people contact this part of themselves, shed negative patterns of behavior, and realize their full potential. I am a psychologist and therapist who focuses on marriage counseling, ADHD, Alcohol and substance abuse, identity formation and parenting issues. I address feelings of emptiness, difficulties in managing emotions, relationships, anger, anxiety and depression in order to increase your level of self-awareness which can be totally life changing. I also do psychological evaluations for court, custody, bariatric and academic achievement.

Life is tough these days and we all need help, particularly with this new pandemic threat and the consequent anxiety and depression it has caused. My therapeutic practice is based on Buddhist compassion and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with alcohol and drug addiction as well as trauma and PTSD clients. I provide a traditional psychological perspective as well as a discovery of your life’s inner meaning, your strengths, your dreams, your creativity, your spirituality, and the socio-cultural context that surrounds you. I am able to create a nourishing, supportive environment that contributes to your healing and transformation.
