The decision to see a therapist is a personal one and perhaps the most important factor in that decision is the connection you make with the therapist that you choose. I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face.

Not sure where to start? Searching for the "right" words? Concerned about talking to a 'complete stranger' about your anxiety/depression, relationship/work struggles, AD[H]D/ creativity blocks? Sure I "know" about people's struggles, individually & as couples -- and how to overcome these-- as well as different approaches to therapy. I have listened to & helped many folks over 35 years as a NYState Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Certified Adult Psychoanalyst. In addition, I have been an Adjunct Associate Professor (at NYU, Brooklyn College, & several NYC psychoanalytic institutes); I was in my own analysis; & I continue to supervise less experienced clinicians.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I know there must be a million thoughts running through your brain right now. Sometimes our thoughts can feel like they are on an out-of-control highway or racetrack. We may not know which direction to take, which flag to fly or which repair to begin with. I want to congratulate you on taking that first step: researching who can you talk to. Now, let's chat and figure out what our next steps are. Remember; if you're not speaking it, you're storing it and that gets heavy.

I am a diverse Systemic Psychotherapist practicing in New Jersey and New York with a specialty in Marriage & Family Therapy. I will work with you to engage in maximizing functioning in your current relationships and how you interact with the world. Together we will work on you creating the narrative you wish to express more authentically in your personal relationships, work environment and your greater relationship circle(s). I have experience working with clients with a strong focus on life transitions, families in crisis, and those shifting careers and engaged in reinvention.

You can't change your situation, but you can change how you deal with it. I want to help you find your own inner voice to overcome obstacles, which can lead to rediscovery and self-empowerment. I received my MSW from Fordham University with a clinical concentration before completing post-graduate training at the prestigious Ackerman Institute. My goal is to encourage individuals, couples and families to cope better with their difficulties. My approach is collaborative, empathetic and non-judgmental in supporting you to find hope and meaning in your life. As an active listener, I bring a sense of calm to address your concerns.

We believe people are doing the best they can; you are the expert in your life, not us. Patterns are learned and can be unlearned. You possess the inner wisdom you need. Our job is to help you make the changes you desire. Even dysfunctional behaviors are there for a reason and/or are a response to previous events. Our goals are to help you better understand your feelings and thoughts, find ways of coping and help you feel more like your authentic self. Your intersectional identities of race, religion, class, immigration status, gender, sexuality, and ability all influence who you are and who you are in your intimate relationships.

Dissecting, exploring and rediscovering yourself and/or relationship is deeply rewarding. Colibri Wellness, LCSW, PLLC offers a welcoming space where you can unpack your feelings and embark on a healing path and impart with you, your partner(s), and/or family a safe, inclusive, and engaging therapeutic experience. Clinicians at Colibri Wellness will assist you in reflection, decision-making, redirection and restructure towards change, healing strategies, movement, growth and decolonization of the mind. We also conduct immigration evaluations in NYC and CT.

Email is preferred and quickest method of contact. It’s OK that you're here. Read that again. You are taking the very first step on your healing journey and finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task. I am here to make it easier for you and share what I value in a therapeutic relationship. I take pride in my natural instinct to empathize and understand an individual's struggles. I value connection and our relationship. I do not expect anyone to feel comfortable opening up to me without first building our rapport together. Above all, I strive to convey an open, safe, and non-judgmental space for each and every person.

I approach therapy with warmth & authenticity & know that it that can be a powerful force for change and healing. One of my goals is to craft an inviting environment that feels safe and non-judgmental. Collaboratively, we will identify your goals and work towards positive change. I have been working in the MH field since 2008 & have had the privilege of working with multicultural patients coping with various type of difficulties. Some of my areas of expertise include anxiety, grief & loss, performers/actors/dancers, high functioning autistic spectrum, LGBTQ folks, couples/families, industrial consultation & supervision of others.

I believe that whatever most troubles you, it cannot define you psychologically, nor does it lessen the whole of your identity. Therefore, I regard all aspects of your past, your present and your inner life as a series of promising pathways. Through them we can seek a fuller understanding of your living reality, and we can discover and develop key resources for resolving your dilemmas. Throughout our work together my overall perspective on you, the client, is of your distinct, unique connection to the common ground of our human experience: that shared territory in which we all sometimes struggle, and in which I fully include myself.

I specialize in working with people who are committed to enhancing their lives through self-exploration under the guidance of a highly trained professional. I work with adults who desire a better understanding of themselves and look for freedom in how they experience their emotional life and the world around them. I am also the Founder and Clinical Director of Gotham Mental Health Group, PLLC, a Flatiron (and Northern Westchester) based group private practice. We offer individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy. www.gothammft.com

What do you think of therapy? Does it intimidate you? In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun? Or something you look forward to? What if therapy didn’t have to be scary or always serious but a time you set aside for yourself which you actually enjoy?

The treatment approach varies based on presenting concern.

We are never alone and sometimes we just need another to join with us on this journey of life. I am happy to join and help you learn, create and achieve the goals you desire. Regardless of your emotional struggle, I can help you. I offer ADD/ADHD assessments/treatments for adults & children. I treat all symptoms including addiction struggles.
