Working together… You are welcomed into a warm, accepting, and safe space where you have my undivided attention as we explore the depths of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, and behaviors. I work well with professionals and college students managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, perfectionism, and relationship issues. Additionally, as a couples therapist, I help straight and LGBTQIA+ couples address communication and sexual issues, increase intimacy and respect, manage work, household and childcare challenges, and work through the pain of infidelity. As a multicultural woman and native New Yorker, I truly appreciate other cultures and strive always to validate your unique experiences. I remain open as I offer empathy, support, and curiosity. I help immigrants, children of immigrants, BIPOC, and third-culture adults who struggle with feelings of guilt and selfishness and who lack assertiveness. I understand what it’s like to have to balance two worlds. My therapeutic approach is integrative, dynamic, and holistic. I incorporate techniques and skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Using these therapeutic tools, you will develop the capacity to set boundaries, practice assertiveness, manage anxiety, reduce perfectionism, increase self-acceptance, develop a rich sense of identity, and improve your relationships with your family and yourself. With a values-driven lense, you will find your own unique purpose; living authentically and peacefully in both worlds you inhabit.
