Relationship Issues Therapists in New York, NY

Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with children and adults in a medical setting that includes outpatient care, oncology, and intensive care units. When practicing art therapy with clients, I am committed to integrating client-centered approaches and mindfulness. I want to create a safe space for my clients to express themselves and attune to their needs as they explore the path to healing.

My work style is quality-of-life coaching with the emotional depth of an experienced Psychotherapist. I help my clients to connect the dots in their lives and to see and build on their strengths. You can reach your realistic dreams if you commit. I believe in the power of the Individual. Everyone has a unique narrative that describes both challenges and strengths in overcoming adversity.

In addition to my faculty and hospital-based roles, in my private practice I see children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, and British Columbia. Harvard Medical School trained, I deliver evidence-based approaches and treat a range of psychiatric diagnoses using a bio-psycho-social model. I welcome all backgrounds and strive for culturally responsive and attuned care. My interventions also include mindfulness and focus on reducing distress and improving relationships, all delivered with warmth, humor, and science.

Through open dialogue, reflection, and engagement, my goal is to help clients better understand how their life histories and relationships impact the present-day. My aim is to support individuals in finding their voice, building confidence in personal and professional relationships, and coping with stressors. I believe that everyone can benefit from devoting time each week to focus on themselves and their relationships, and I prioritize creating a warm, supportive environment for my clients.

Do you have a hard time coping with current or past situations? Do you feel stuck? Are you unable to make decisions? Are you experiencing issues in your relationships? Do you feel angry, sad, depressed or anxious? Therapy can help you create more meaningful relationships, increase your self-esteem, teach you skills to better deal with stress and anxiety, cope and manage difficult situations, improve communication skills and guide you through establishing healthy behavior patterns.

Over the years, I have come to understand that many of our difficulties with work and/or relationships can be traced to some forms of disconnection internally and externally, sometime manifested as depression, anxiety, existential angst, eating disorder, or addiction. I view therapy as a continuous in-depth conversation with another person in order to mend past traumas, reconnect with self and others, and develop a new perspective on life. I will bring to this journey curiosity, compassion, knowledge, experiences, and a commitment to help you strive for a healthier and more balanced life.

Do you feel you are riding an emotional rollercoaster? Alternatively, do you feel like you are living in auto-pilot, going through the motions in life without finding much satisfaction? Or maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with past traumas, relationship or work difficulties, or are just feeling stuck. Although we may find ourselves surrounded by supportive family and friends, we may still feel alone and isolated in our distress. Pain in life may be unavoidable, but you don’t need to go through it alone.

The approach I employ is informed by the view that psychoanalytic principles are radical in their nature, because part of the outcome aims at increasing one’s freedom from whatever constraining forces lead a person to embark on a therapeutic project. This is accomplished through a particular kind of listening to the patient's words and exploring the person’s history to locate previously unknown wishes one may then follow. Out of this can extend a life more creatively aligned with your singular vision.

It can be hard to find a therapist who feels like the right fit, especially when you are grieving, overwhelmed by work or family, facing a new challenge, or feeling stuck in repetitive patterns. My approach is strengths-based, non-judgmental and rooted in deep respect for every client. I am passionate about supporting clients through all stages of grief, including anticipatory, ambiguous, and non-death losses. I also work with adults who feel depressed, anxious, or struggle with life transitions, relationships, parenting, trauma, guilt, and shame.

At times, it can seem hard to talk share about what is going on with your life. You may have a support system, but at times if can be hard to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with them. I know that sharing things can be hard because they may not understand, or they can be dealing with their own things, or not wanting to burden them. I get it. I know that therapy can provide a safe space. Opening up to a stranger can seem like a challenge, but this can also be a benefit. In therapy we can have the space to really talk about what is going on, in a non judgmental space.

My desire for helping people through therapy comes from the belief that everyone has the ability to heal and transform themselves. My therapy helps you, to help you. I employ modalities aimed at facilitating the change process, including Solution-Focused Therapy, creative Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed treatment.
