New to Grow
I am a New York-licensed psychologist who works primarily with adolescents and adults. I use a cognitive behavioral approach in order to help lessen the impact of negative emotions on daily life. I also offers skills to help foster emotion regulation, coping strategies, and adaptive behaviors. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to improve emotional well-being and coping skills. I support clients through life events and a wide range of transitional issues across the lifespan, working collaboratively to develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
Intakes are structured to gain as much information as possible about past and current life experiences and what brought a client into therapy. After this is established, a treatment hierarchy is created in order to collaboratively determine what issues are interfering with life in the most meaningful ways and what issues need immediate change. Throughout the course of sessions, we will work through the issues that are affecting the client's cognitions, emotions and behaviors, as well as provide a safe space to discuss any new issues in a confidential and collaborative way.
Being a therapist is rewarding to me because I realize the role that emotions can play in our daily lives. The way that we perceive life events can have a major impact on our levels of happiness, and I am a big believer in the fact that we all have the right and the responsibility to find the life that works best for us and find our own unique brand of happiness.
I enjoy working with all clients, but especially with young adults navigating life transitions and trying to "figure it out." I enjoy helping people work through difficulties in order to achieve the best potential in their lives in every area. Whether that means overcoming anxiety, depression, ruminating thoughts or self-doubt, we can work together to provide the tools to live the life they want.
