Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in New York, NY

As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with clients who are seeking to become “unstuck,” to meet new challenges, and to navigate relationships and emotions. I strive to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of my clients' values, needs, and struggles. Together, we clarify obstacles, evaluate coping strategies, identify personal goals, and develop the skills necessary for a path forward. My approach is non-judgmental, warm, and active.

Life can throw us lots of curveballs, and you shouldn’t have to face them alone. Whether you are going through a time of crisis, want to address life-long patterns, improve interpersonal relationships, or address trauma, I’ll meet you wherever you are and help you to do that work. I feel that past traumas and early life experiences shape much of who we are today, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change who you’re going to be. Through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), psychodynamic therapy, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) those traumas can be addressed and those patterns can be changed going forward.

It can be a deeply painful realization to notice that we are not living the life we want - one that is guided by a strong sense of values and that fills us with joy, passion, and vitality. We all have an intuitive wisdom that is meant to guide us through life. This wisdom can get lost in the loud voice of emotion, the dismissive voice of logic, and the pressures of our environment. Over time, we might start to feel stuck, lost, and hopeless. When our struggles seem insurmountable, our harsh inner critic grows stronger, and we may start to engage in problematic behaviors to avoid the pain.

Life is a tapestry of experiences colored by our culture, background, and personal narratives. Throughout my 20 years in mental health, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, including victims of narcissistic abuse and people in toxic relationships. I’ve always been inspired by how our backgrounds and experiences make each one of us so diverse and vibrant. My goal is to help you understand and embrace each thread that makes up your unique pattern.

Are you searching for a safe, transformative healing experience to reach your full potential as a human being? I specialize in empowering people of all backgrounds who have experienced trauma, depression, and/or anxiety to access their innate resilience and healing. Trauma can include any experience overwhelming to the nervous system. I work with my clients to create an environment built on trust, safety, compassion, and positive regard in order to develop the capacity to expand empathy, resilience, and self-confidence. Many clients find it helpful to anchor our work in the present moment using mindfulness breathing.

I see my role as helping people increase awareness of entrenched interpersonal and cognitive patterns that are preventing them from engaging fully with themselves, others, and their life activities. Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people to try out new ways of thinking, feeling and relating that will lead to more fulfilling lives. I particularly enjoy working with teens and young adults who are at the beginning of their life journeys in developing their sense of self, independence and identity.

My approach taps into creative parts work, so that you can explore and unearth rich parts of yourself, in order to foster genuine expression and to build independence toward your goals.

I work with children, teens and adults and believe in the importance of treating the holistic self to improve wellness.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective that honors all aspects of a person as an integrated whole, using body-based somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques at the core of my practice. When we begin to slow down and explore our mind-body experience with curiosity and care, we can start to notice and transform old wounds and patterns that are interfering with our ability to live a full life of ease, passion and connection. I come from a place of co-creating a journey with you that deeply honors the wisdom and strengths you already carry, while also working with you to develop new resources to help address your needs.
