Self Esteem Therapists in New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for adults struggling with emotional distress, relationship and family issues, identity and self-esteem concerns, and life transitions (e.g., illness, separation, loss). Many people seek therapy because they feel stuck or confused, and their usual methods of coping are overwhelmed. I provide a collaborative and safe environment in which you can feel heard and supported while developing new ways of understanding and working through difficulties. My areas of specialty include anxiety and worry, LGBTQIA issues, substance use, perfectionism, identity concerns, and trauma.

I specialize in working with people who are looking for gender-affirming, sex positive, and culturally conscious care, and I have significant experience and training in working with LGBTQ+ individuals. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach with a focus on empowering my clients, while also incorporating mindfulness and grounding exercises in sessions that you can utilize outside the therapy space. I also like to tie in creative outlets like writing, movement, and music to explore conflicts and other challenges in peoples’ lives.
