About My Clients
I am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of emerging adults (ages 18 to 40) and middle-aged adults (ages 40 to 65) in New York State. I work with individuals facing challenges in emerging and middle adulthood, such as anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship and attachment difficulties, personality disorders, C-PTSD, and complex life transitions. I also work with narcissistic abuse survivors, who may be experiencing intense feelings of guilt, shame, and worthlessness.
My Background and Approach
Following the biopsychosocial-spiritual model, I strive to provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals as they navigate the challenges and growth associated with the developmental stages of adulthood. As a neuroscience-informed, compassion-focused psychotherapist, I combine a variety of mind-body modalities that promote mind, brain, and body regulation. The sessions are informed by neuroscience research and psychological theories. Patients learn about biological and social aspects of thoughts and behaviors while processing difficult past and present emotions and situations. In partnership with the patient, we'll explore ways to create secure and meaningful relationships. We'll also discuss strategies for expressing, processing and modulating difficult emotions while rewiring brain pathways for healthy boundaries and compassion for self and others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My core beliefs are twofold. First, compassion and respect are the basis of positive therapy experiences. Second, the personal connection and safety established in the therapeutic relationship are catalysts for lasting change. I strive to create a non-judgmental and validating environment where patients feel safe to explore and uncover their true, core selves. Through the therapeutic process, I aim to empower individuals to recognize their inner strength and build resilience.
