Therapists in New York, NY

I (she/her/hers/ella) believe that therapy should be accessible, trauma-informed and should help people lead lives that interest and challenge them. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in social justice with an emphasis on exploration through learning and storytelling. I believe that everyone is an expert on their own lives and that clients are best supported when they are engaged in shaping their therapeutic experiences. I support clients who identify as Latinx, queer/trans/GNC and/or neurodivergent, have an intellectual disability, as well as young adults.

Asking for help can be both hard and uncomfortable for many people. Doing so, however, presents an opportunity to find support and relief from stress and overwhelm that has become increasingly difficult to manage alone. Together, we’ll take inventory of challenges and needs, and work to find your unique path forward.

I believe each person holds the key to success and therapy is a form of guiding process to achieve these goals in life. Thus, I focus on empowering individuals and gaining further insight and understanding. I believe in not just focusing on the difficulties and issues, but also building skills and capacity in preparation of future challenges. Clients describe me as authentic, compassionate and empathetic. We work collaboratively on building on solutions to move forward in life and elevate you to a more positive life style in general.

I provide a safe therapeutic treatment space for those within and outside the LGBTQ/QI 2-S+ spectrum, GNC/Non-Binary, and BDSM/Kink community. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed as Differently-Abled/Special Needs/ASD/Neuroatypical/ Neurodivergent or with an Intellectual and Emotional Disability.

If you are experiencing difficulty in relationships, are having trouble navigating life's challenges, and are motivated to live up to your full potential, you've come to the right place.

If you find yourself or a loved one, perhaps a child or a spouse, are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a difficult life transition, I am here to support you. I believe in using tangible coping skills along with the core principles of support, trust, and empathy in helping you through this time. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore thoughts, and feelings. If there is something that is important to you, it is important to me. In therapy we will set goals and work towards giving you the skills needed to feel better.

Do you feel misunderstood or unaccepted? Does it feel impossible to be your true self and be happy? Living inauthentically can lead to pain and make it hard to live a fulfilling life. We live in a tough world that forces people to “fit in” to be accepted. Deep dissatisfaction, sadness, worry and low self-esteem often result from this pressure and can make it feel next to impossible to find a path to joy and fulfillment. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I empathize deeply with these experiences. The great news is change happens and you are on your way, having taken this first step to find a therapist.

Going through profiles, you may not be sure what you are looking for in a therapist. I offer clients a free consultation call to determine what they need from both therapy and their therapist in order to move forward in life. If I’m not a good fit, I’ll provide you with referrals accordingly.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.
