Starting therapy is one of the hardest things one can do. When a person decides to begin therapy they are often at a point where they know something in their life needs to change, but are not sure where to begin. Departing from what is familiar can be scary. I understand how difficult making changes can be, and recognize how stressful it is to begin work with a new therapist.

Sometimes, even after we have achieved some of life’s major milestones, we can still wrestle with uncomfortable emotions; feelings of listlessness or the slight ache that something is missing. It may seem as if the world on the outside we have worked so hard to construct isn’t quite what it seems or brings us the happiness we hoped. The gap between what we feel and what we think we should feel can grow. We may experience feelings of self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and notice our relationships have begun to suffer. Where we once shined at work, feelings of boredom, impostor syndrome, or insecurity may plague us. Confusion sets in.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience providing evidence-based treatments (CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP) for a wide range of mental health issues. I'm licensed to provide care in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Through my generalist training, I developed particular interest in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and reproductive struggles, which led to additional, specialized training in these areas. I am incredibly passionate about my work and am dedicated to providing quality care that equips people with skills for long-lasting change.

Did you move to NY to succeed but you are not where you thought you would be? Do you often question your career choices and can’t seem to find the best “next step”? Do you catch yourself criticizing your life on a daily basis? Whether you are an immigrant or simply relocating from another state, Gotham inevitably captures you. I know that it sounds cliché but the energy of the city is present in every sector. And you will soon realize, if you have not already, that when you work and/or reside in an environment surrounded by thousands of talented people your desire to succeed becomes even greater.

As a New York therapist, I want to empower my clients and assist them in finding some perspective. By reframing in therapy how you perceive the issues and conflicts, and by learning new behaviors and coping skills, you can really lead an enriching, happy life. My therapy style is direct (interactive) and empathetic. Having started my career as an artist and theater-maker, I have an intimate knowledge of creative development and narrative needs.

I consider therapy as a journey during which one may eventually reach shores of clarity, insight, self-understanding, and transformation. As one sets sail towards the stormy waters of the emotional realm, one gradually discovers the new geographies of conflicted feeling states, ambiguous thinking patterns, and problematically repetitive behaviors in the forgotten coordinates of the inner world buoying at the intersection of the past, the present, and the future.

I primarily use psychodynamic, systemic, experiential and culturally sensitive approaches to accompany the client throughout the journey of self discovery. With emphasis on awareness and insight, I encourage individuals and couples to seek solutions that resonate with their individual and relational needs. The struggle to overcome adverse experiences, can be a product of sociocultural system, family context, early attachment and relationships which reflect a stigmatized idea of self.
