I strongly believe that everyone has the right to be a mentally alert, physically healthy, emotionally secure, and socially competent person. Remember, no health without mental health and social well-being! I am a multicultural therapist based in New York City with over twenty years of experience, using a universal multicultural approach and provide culturally sensitive therapy and strongly believe that faith in our collective abilities to improve the lives of our children, adolescents, and families. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have extensive experience with youth and families. I welcome clients of diverse backgrounds and orientations, who grew up in an individualistic or collectivist society, who may experience difficulty with low self-esteem, identity confusion, social anxiety, or immigration and acculturation issues because their feelings have never been validated due to cultural stigma or may experience difficulty in coping with life’s challenges. Are you experiencing anxiety/panic attacks, depression, self-doubt, identity confusion, feelings of powerlessness, or social anxiety? Do you fear the future? Are you suffering from low self-esteem because your feelings have never been validated due to cultural stigma? Do you want to make a positive change in your life, starting today? Working with me: You will learn self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and coping strategies. You will overcome your fears and negative thoughts, and harmonize your relationships through effective communication. My approach is drawn from various modalities and techniques and is tailored to the client’s unique needs. My goal is to understand your individual situation and to help build self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and coping strategies, and to assist you in harmonizing your relationships through more effective communication. Together we will establish trust, respect, mutual understanding, and, of course with humor, tackle the problems, and help you to achieve solid self-esteem.

Greetings- I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 29 years of experience in the field. I am also a licensed practical nurse and executive coach. My areas of focus in social work are stress, anxiety, workplace and career issues, women and leadership, and diversity. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy or talk therapy in my counseling approach. I have served on boards of not for profit organizations and been involved in the National Association of Social Work at the local, state and national level. All of this experience has made me an empathetic listener. I treat all with respect and the utmost confidentiality. Doing the work to reach your counseling goals is not easy. It will take work on your behalf, but think of it simply like running a marathon—it’s a mile at a time until you reach 26.2 miles at the finish line or climbing stairs to the twenty-sixth floor in an office building. But, just know I’ll be right there with you.

Licensed psychoanalyst with 24 years of experience. I work with people who struggle with high anxiety, self esteem and self worth issues, people who grew up in an emotionally toxic environment. I have experience helping people who are or have been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or who were part of an environment that made them feel suffocated and not being seen. Patients who were exposed to a emotionally toxic environment can feel how it freezes their emotional growth. Working on liberating one's psyche one realizes how resiliency sets in helping to brave inner toxicity daily. It's a quiet strength that appears as emotional growth proceeds. I use a psychodynamic approach, I admire the work of Philip Bromberg, Donald Winnicott, Francoise Dolto, Paul Claude Racamier, Christopher Bollas. During a session I focus on identifying dynamics, if I may say so, they appear as emotional footprints. A patient who feels controlled by their emotions gradually acquires tools to manage and understand their suffering in order to obtain more emotional freedom.
