Psychotherapy for Adults in New York & New Jersey
My sessions are available in person in Manhattan or virtually for clients who reside in NY and NJ.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
This is the heart of my practice. It focuses on understanding the deeper patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. Often, experiences from earlier in life, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and generational influences continue to impact present-day relationships, self-esteem, and emotional responses. In our work together, we will explore these underlying patterns with curiosity and care, helping you make sense of recurring challenges—such as overthinking, conflict, or feeling stuck in familiar cycles. By bringing greater awareness to these dynamics, you can begin to shift them and create more intentional, fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. We will identify unhelpful patterns and work on developing new skills to help you navigate stress, implementing these changes at a sustainable and realistic pace. I draw on a range of cognitive strategies to ensure our work is tailored to your specific needs.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps you develop a more grounded relationship with your thoughts and emotions. If you often feel overwhelmed, caught in overthinking, or disconnected from the present moment, mindfulness can help you slow down and reconnect to the here-and-now. It includes learning to observe your internal experience without judgment, creating the space you need to make intentional choices rather than reactive ones.
Person-Centered/Humanistic Therapy
This approach centers on your lived experience, personal values, and innate capacity for growth. It offers a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore what is truly meaningful to you. I am grounded in the belief that you already possess the capacity for change, and my role is to help you navigate the challenges that currently make accessing that strength feel difficult.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a dedicated space to understand and improve the dynamics within your relationship. Whether you are experiencing ongoing conflict, communication challenges, or feeling disconnected, therapy can help you and your partner move forward more constructively. We will work to identify themes contributing to tension—such as unmet needs, differing expectations, or relational patterns shaped by family or cultural backgrounds. My goal is to help you strengthen your communication, deepen your understanding of one another, and build a more secure, supportive connection.
