Self Esteem Therapists in New York

I bring extensive experience in teaching, mentoring, and supporting individuals of various ages and abilities. During my internship at an OASAS-run facility, I had the opportunity to help clients achieve their personal life goals while progressing through their treatment programs. This experience was invaluable in deepening my understanding of the therapeutic process. I felt drawn to the dynamic and client-centered nature of private practice, where I could offer a more personalized and flexible approach to therapy. Since transitioning to this setting, I've continued to grow in ways I never anticipated—both personally and professionally. I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve your goals.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking guidance in creating new opportunities, whether you are excited or terrified by change. I help clients learn to regulate uncomfortable or overwhelming emotions that continue to affect your relationships with others, or to develop and/or maintain interpersonal relationships, as well as those experiencing depression and looking to healthily cope with their symptoms. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am ready to help you navigate your journey in self-discovery or work with couples in need of someone who can identify with them. I am also a Marine Corps Veteran. My approach is client-centered; together we decide on your goals.. You are the expert of your life and experiences; I am here to offer guidance, tools, and therapeutic techniques. I have years of experience using CBT and DBT as therapeutic modalities, as well as Motivational Enhancement Therapy to help identify what drives my clients to seek changes. Vulnerability is strength. Seeking answers through curiosity is half the battle. With my experience and your self-knowledge, we can identify problem areas, behaviors, symptoms, and emotions that could be affecting your holistic wellness. You’re in the right place; I will always work to ensure your needs are being met.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in evidence-based medication management, lifestyle interventions, CBT, and mindfulness techniques.

With clinical experience at various New York hospitals, such as New York Presbyterian and Mount Sinai, I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and personalized psychopharmacology.

Life can be incredibly difficult and even tragic at times. Abrupt transitions; mental and physical illness; even a simple lack of direction can all constitute overwhelming obstacles. We often find ourselves needing an outside perspective and a supportive environment to sort through our jumbled thoughts and emotions. Mental Health Counseling can provide this. For the past six years I have specialized in treating anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, and life-transition related issues. I offer a unique clinical perspective heavily based in the philosophies of Stoicism, Existentialism, and Mindfulness. In conjunction with the insights of Evolutionary Psychology, Personality Psychology, and Cognitive Psychology we can build a plan to help you move forward while gaining personal insights and building resilience. I so look forward to working with you and to being a part of your journey. With support, empathy, and encouragement we can all thrive. Reach out today and we will get you scheduled to assess your needs and to make a plan of action to help you actualize your amazing potential.

Do you have feelings of anxiety, depression, instability, or codependency within your relationships? Do you want to find the right partner(s) or improve your current relationship but are not sure how? Are you tired of the dating game and choosing people who are unavailable? You want to be able to show up authentically for connection and chose others who can meet you there as well. The truth is you want to build relationships grounded in belonging, acceptance, growth, and healing, but are not sure where to start. We will dive deep to understand the relationship patterns and attachment styles that unconsciously guide your interactions with family members, partners, workplace colleagues, and even yourself. Together we will develop practices for self-exploration, communication, and connection. You have the inherent capacity and self-knowledge to grow, heal and thrive. I work with clients experiencing relationship challenges with parents, dating, committed relationships, friends and within workplace settings, helping them to create intentional relationships where they feel safe, fulfilled and supported. I am a trauma-trained therapist with additional training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Gottman Institute, and the Internal Family Systems Institute. I have a deep commitment to and passion for creating a safe space with individuals from all races, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, and life paths. If you want to feel more connected, fulfilled and in alignment with yourself, feel free to email me for a free 20-minute phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi parents! I’m a in-home behavioral therapist for toddlers and preschoolers who are twice-exceptional (gifted in any realm combined with learning difference/s i.e. adhd, ASD, sensory processing sensitivity). I offer in school support and observations as well as around the clock parent and educator coaching to ensure consistent success in nourishing self-esteem, self-advocacy, and enrichment. I myself am twice-exceptional and grew up oscillating between gifted and adhd labels so deeply understand the confusion and stress this creates for both parent and child. I am passionate about meeting the unique emotional and learning needs of this population and strongly believe in intervening as early as possible to set these change makers up for a lifetime of success. 

I am a Licensed Psychologist providing virtual concierge therapy services to teens and adults throughout New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, and Florida. I am also a Ketamine-Assisted-Psychotherapy (KAP) provider. I mainly work with highly motivated individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression, as well as those struggling with setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries with others. I tailor my approach to fit the needs of each individual in order to increase flexibility, uniqueness, privacy, and comfort. I believe one of the most important factors is the therapeutic relationship. I take the time to build a solid therapeutic relationship so I can best serve you. I have training in various areas including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, grief, trauma-focused, mindfulness-based interventions, positive psychology, and LGBTQIA+. I encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your needs and find the right path for you. A brief discussion will determine if I am the appropriate referral and if you would like to schedule an intake session with me.
