Therapy

Remote and in-person therapy for individuals and couples in New York.

Individual Therapy

Find peace within you and start enjoying the present.

I employ various modalities which include cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy and individual emotionally focused therapy. In working with me, therapy sessions are designed to provide a safe place for self exploration, self validation and self compassion. The challenges of depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma and life transitions are dealt with in a manner that encompasses all that makes us both similar and unique by taking into account important factors such as our race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, age, health and our family of origin.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

Build a healthy relationship and let it flourish.

The process of intimate adult connection explores attachment styles not as a means of classifying one another but as a means of understanding ways in which adults relate to one another. I employ Emotionally Focused Therapy as a means of helping couples identify the dance of intimacy that enables them to thrive together all the while remaining true to their individual selves. Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence based approach created by Sue Johnson and is proven effective in couples work.

Contextual Therapy

Understand how intergenerational dynamics influence one’s everyday.

As a woman of color, a daughter of immigrants and an immigrant myself, I have a particular interest and passion in addressing the challenges of individuals whose sense of self and connection with others is often intertwined with societal, cultural, racial, political and economical challenges. In using contextual therapy created by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, I explore the cultural, ethnic and racial checks and balances across generations which can be supportive and oppressive.

Trauma Therapy

Invite yourself to reclaim your life.

In my practice, I employ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I address post-traumatic stress disorder. I also address other forms of trauma, seemingly insidious, which nevertheless significantly contribute to the magnitude of one’s anxiety and other emotional behavioral challenges. These behavioral challenges may often manifest as depression, anger, volatility, avoidance; relationship problems and disruptive behaviors. I have been humbled enough in this work to realize that trauma in many cases is a pervasive theme in the narratives of many individuals and relationships.
