Therapists in New York, NY

At some point, each of us confronts a difficult life circumstance for which we may want or need extra support. Whether you are experiencing relationship difficulties, increased stress, or the desire to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I hope to help you navigate these challenges with greater ease and confidence. I strive to cultivate a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment so that together we can better understand the difficulties you are facing, while developing specific coping skills to help improve your overall well-being.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. I work with individuals from college age on who wish to address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship problems and substance use.

I approach counseling from a practical, client-centered approach. I believe in meeting people where they are at, setting attainable therapeutic goals, and fostering intentional self-exploration. My experience with clients focuses on changing behavioral patterns, dealing with interpersonal issues, exploring new coping skills, and addressing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I have worked facilitating group therapy for people diagnosed as HIV+, as well as individual counseling for LGBT+ people. I have a history of working with people experiencing substance use from both abstinence and harm reduction approaches.

Psychological health is much more than the absence of problems and mental illness. Even when things seem to be going well we may still feel that there is something missing and that our lives lack the happiness, purpose, and vitality that we desire. My approach begins with the identification of your values. This becomes the foundation of our work together. We then explore thoughts and feelings that get in the way of living a more meaningful and satisfying life and replace them with strategies that are more values consistent and effective in the pursuit of a more satisfying life.

I am guided by the belief that we all have the right to mental health treatment that is free of judgment, shame and stigma. As a therapist, I provide an empathetic space where you will feel seen, heard and accepted. Over my many years as a clinician, I have successfully helped people with a wide range of issues including intimate relationships, family, depression, anxiety, loneliness and substance use - just to name a few. I also have significant experience working with adults who engage in poly and other sexually expansive lifestyles, as well as issues in sexuality, such as sexual desire discrepancy between partners.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a NYS Credentialed Substance Use Counselor. I see adults of all ages in a comfortable, private and safe setting on the Upper West Side.

I deeply believe that the more we understand ourselves and our motivations, the greater will be our power to take control of things that previously seemed inevitable.

I find therapy to be a valuable space for reflection, connection, and growth and embrace the opportunity to construct such a space with my clients. I bring a warm, empathetic presence and a desire to understand my clients deeply as we work together towards the change they desire in their lives. I enjoy working with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, sexual assault/abuse, substance use concerns, traumatic and concerns related to navigating identities of all types.

I use various therapeutic interventions including mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I am empathic and validating, but I am also skilled in challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be getting in the way of living one's best life.
