Therapists in Staten Island, NY

Finding a safe space where you can let go of worry about being judged or accepted is hard. I hope to provide you the ease, comfort, and safety in the virtual therapy room you've been seeking. I am a licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga instructor with a virtual private practice based in New York State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ matters, women's obstacles, and race and identity concerns. My work entails deconstructing white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and colonization as it relates to your identity. I offer a unique and holistic approach to therapy by integrating yoga and meditation into your experience. Each session with me begins with a personalized yoga practice, transitions to talk therapy, and closes with a guided meditation. As a compassion-focused therapist, I hope to help you develop a compassionate self while building hard skills you can use in your day to day.

From social media to global crises, there are a great deal of forces influencing how we see ourselves. It is normal amidst all of this change to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Therapy can help these parts of you feel seen and heard free of judgement or shame. Together, I hope to help you foster coping skills, boost self-confidence, set and meet goals, and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others. You are not alone in what you are facing. I will work with you to compassionately tend to the parts of you that feel like they are suffering in order to help you create a path forward.  My passion is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and the world around them. To take care of our minds is to take care of our physical and spiritual health.  I have a special interest in serious illness, life transitions, palliative care, caregivers, women’s health, infertility, grief, and how nature and the outdoors can promote mental well-being. I love hiking, running, kayaking, and being with animals. Attention to the outdoors, physical movement, and the mind-body connection informs my clinical work with clients when appropriate. I graduated from The Silver School of Social Work at New York University as a Zelda Foster Palliative and End of Life Care fellow. I previously worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I helped patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff navigate the complexities of serious illness and palliative care.

I am an LMHC psychotherapist with almost two decades of experience. I work independently, primarily with adults and couples, while also working with children and adolescents. I am now offering couples intensives, which are one- to three-day focused psychotherapy sessions designed to give couples more time and space to work on their relationship in a shorter period of time. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, while also making space to understand the deeper patterns that can keep people stuck. I draw from several modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic, attachment-based, Gottman-informed, systems-based, and existential therapies. Over the years, I have found that no single approach works for everyone, so I draw from my experience across different modalities to find what is most helpful for each client or couple. My goal is to help people better understand themselves and their relationships and make meaningful changes that last.
