Beginning therapy, especially for the first time, can feel like an intimidating task. I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support and there is no shame in that, only strength. No matter what the presenting issue(s) is, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what brought you here, what you need out of therapy and what your ultimate goal is. I view the mind and body as one and in order to best care for ourselves, we need to nurture and understand both. Often times, our environment or situations happening in our life can derail this and that's where therapy can provide a consistency.

As a Clinician with over 3 years of experience, I assist clients in the facilitation of behavioral change, encouragement in fostering healthy relationships, enhancing coping ability, and more. I believe that therapy is collaborative between myself and the client/family, as the journey in overcoming difficult challenges and situations is unique to each individual. I prioritize providing a supportive, safe and nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel listened to, understood, and accepted.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful. I am able to do this because of my many years of supervision with some of the top therapists in the New York area. I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.

I believe in compassion, hope and spirituality as the driving forces in my practice. It is through these three elements that an individual finds their own truths and gains insight into their own lives. This is the essence of my practice along with learning tools to help one gain control over their issues rather than be controlled by them.

Women-specific mental health care is an often sought out and vastly underserved service. Being a mother, for example- wether you're a stay at home, working in the home or working outside of the home- poses unique challenges that many can relate to, but not many know how to navigate. The range of struggles in motherhood are as unique as mothers are- wether you're a seasoned mom struggling to find your identity again, to a new mom struggling with post partum- its a lot. Sometimes it can feel as if you're drowning. You deserve more.

I think one of the bravest things you can do is speak out loud, the things that scare and confuse you. Navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma can be challenging when dealt with alone. In a non-judgmental but curious way let’s unpack emotions, challenge thinking patterns/behaviors, and learn to live authentically and not be in survival mode.

Do you feel stuck, despite being highly self-aware? Have you tried talk therapy before and it felt nice to vent, but it didn’t really create the transformation or deep healing and relief from anxiety you were looking for? I help millennial women like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine EMDR therapy, art therapy, IFS therapy and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues, discover what you want out of life, and create lasting changes. I also offer EMDR Intensives for those who want to heal NOW and don't want to spend months or even years in the traditional therapy model.
