Therapists in Astoria, NY

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

As a learning disabled man, I am honored to work with neurodivergent and neurotypical people. I envision working with people, especially those on the autism spectrum, who have difficulty developing nourishing relationships, honoring themselves, and finding acceptance. I see my clients learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and sensations, noticing their bodies, unmet needs, and humanity. From this, there is a shift from rejection to acceptance and holding. The body is no longer something to be avoided, but a home for healing, growth, and nourishment.

If you are looking to heal, grow, and progress towards a heightened sense of self I can help. Through talking and the use of music and sound we will find a path together that works for you.

My path in music led me to music therapy and then psychotherapy, the therapeutic treatment of the individual as a whole being.

Healing starts when we know what to heal from, believe that we can heal, and connect with our inner and external resources to heal. As a relational therapist, I support individuals, couples and families in navigating life transitions and cross-cultural issues, managing mental health symptoms, processing shame, guilt, and loss, improving communication and intimacy, and addressing the impact of systemic oppression on our sense of self and our relationships. I'm committed to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. Together we discover and embrace your authentic self, release your inner strengths for personal and relational growth.

I help people feel better and improve their lives with psychotherapy and music therapy. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction or everyday stress with relationships, work or family. If you want a fluid and creative approach to therapy that helps you go deep to the core of your issues, I can help. I am particularly passionate about working with those who identify as LGBTQIA+, especially trans and GNC folx. In a world full of stigma, with so much pressure to conform to a heteronormative society, being trans or GNC can be an isolating and scary experience. I can help you on your journey to become your true self.
