Counseling in Manhattan, NYC and Teaneck, New Jersey.

I practice psychotherapy that incorporates systemic, relational, humanistic, psychoanalytic, and mindfulness-based theories.

Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy
Sexual Abuse Counseling
Anger Management
Trauma and PTSD Counseling

I provide individual counseling/psychotherapy for adults in NYC that are seeking hope to move forward from trauma, family of origin struggles, anxiety, anger, depression, and emotional pain.

Sexual abuse counseling can help you process your sexual abuse, gain insight to present-day compulsive behaviors, manage anxiety, build self esteem and self care, identify thoughts of self blame and shame, connect with deeper emotions, and recognize any internal defenses being triggered in your relationships.

I offer sessions for anger management. The goal of our sessions of anger management is not to lose your anger. The focus of anger management is to get in touch with your anger, connect with it, understand it, so that you may develop insight as to the messages anger is trying to convey to you and begin dealing with it in healthier, non aggressive ways.

I specialize in therapeutic work focusing on healing from trauma, inner child work, identifying & managing the different parts of Self (parts work), as well as, empowering and re-discovering oneself. You are not alone in your experience. Therapy can be a place for people to explore and address these deep-rooted conflicts and help process these abusive experiences, identifying any fragmented parts of yourself that exist as coping mechanisms to deal with trauma.
