For the past 10 years, I have helped with individuals with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive behaviors, life stress, and life transitions. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to therapy. I believe change comes from gaining insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. When it comes to therapy, I believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is crucial. I strive at creating a safe and open environment for you to express your thoughts and feelings. My goal for therapy is to assist you with solving any problems or issues you may be experiencing and help to give you the tools, knowledge, and insight to make changes. I believe that everyone has a story to be told and that there is no greater suffering than an untold story inside of you. I believe that emotions are healed when they are heard and validated and that is my goal in therapy. “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what could go right."

My practice is eclectic, existential, and inherently relationally-focused, but first and foremost, tailored to your unique inquiries and needs. I have a predilection for making the subconscious conscious, to understand your story not to change the past but to influence the present. I believe in the utility and practical application of mental tools and behavioral techniques, and also the power of developing insight, intuition, and self-awareness. Of upmost importance is my objective to help you meet yourself, understand your needs, self-advocate for your well-being, and learn to self-heal by normalizing your response to pain. We all need reminding that we are not disordered. We are human, time and time again. Happy growing.

Being able to understand the person through their eyes is the guide that moves us towards why they need help and how I can help them. My therapeutic style is to find ways to get to know who I am speaking to and who they want to become with my support. The years that I have spent working with various people in various locations makes me feel comfortable in saying that I am able to know who my client is and am able to prove to them that I do and want to understand.

Together we will review and weigh the anxious, depressive, resentful, or otherwise negative thoughts and behavioral patterns to determine their merit and usefulness and work on promoting alternative, healthy thoughts and patterns to replace them. We will be looking at the whole you, the biological, social, emotional, and logical parts of you and how they interact with one another. We will be looking at daily activities, self-care, social interaction, hopes, dreams, and more to inspire ways to begin living in a way that is closer to the life you want to be living. We will work on expressing and processing emotions through discussion of various specific stressors, as I have seen that we can more easily see patterns in how we handle reoccurring, specific situations in the past and present. All of this will be done in a nonjudgmental, supportive, and authentic space. I look forward to walking beside you at this crossroads in your life.

I have several years of experience working with adults who are struggling through anxiety, uncertainty, depression, loss, trauma, life transitions, relationship and intimacy issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, direct and at times humorous! I use an integrative framework and draw on relational, psychodynamic and humanistic modalities to guide my work. In the context of a supportive relationship, our work together would focus on finding relief while gaining a deeper understanding of what is troubling you. Treatment might take the direction of identifying strengths, bringing awareness to how the past impacts emotional life in the present and developing language to express difficult thoughts and emotions. Together we would partner to explore narratives and protective patterns that are no longer needed and get in the way of healing. With compassion and curiosity, I am dedicated to fostering a space where you come to feel safe enough to take emotional risks and perhaps grow an appreciation for the story that brings you here today.

I have been practicing in New York City since 2015, giving guidance to those who want to make changes and implement strategies to handle conflicts, transitions and issues which create barriers to their own happiness. We all go through transitions and different waves in our life but ultimately we all want to live a genuine authentic life. We have the capacity to obtain it but how to navigate it is the challenge. It can be daunting to start therapy and be vulnerable with a stranger. I provide the space for you to work at your own comfort, pace and autonomy. I provide talk therapy that is reflective, and explorative with compassion. Treatment goals are a collaborative effort.

The process of building a therapeutic relationship there has to be a level of comfort and ease with your therapist. This is important in order to be able to be able to talk about incidents from your past that are painful and difficult to face. Therapy is about what you need from your therapist. I use the person-centered approach. Everyone has a story to tell and it is important for you to not feel judged and to feel safe. As a therapist, I take my lead from you and what you want to work on to improve your situation. I believe that I can gain the information I need from you by having a conversation rather than you feeling like you are being interrogated. Your mental health is of the utmost importance to me, and as such, you set the agenda for your sessions as this is your therapy time and about what you need.
