New to Grow
I help people navigate relationships with others and with themselves. By gaining a deeper understanding of your internal world, you can better manage external stressors and feel more free and grounded in your life. Together, we explore relational patterns both in and outside of therapy to reduce inner conflict and support greater confidence in facing the world. Therapy is a collaborative space where curiosity, reflection, and emotional honesty are encouraged. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and more empowered in your relationships and daily life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
On our first session, I will start where you are at. We will work through the initial feelings of being in a first session and processes whatever comes to your mind at the time. You set the agenda, I will take your lead. I can help in the processes and we will initiative a collaborative process in working together. I am here to support you as you begin your journey of self discovery and awareness.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I use active listening and reflecting to follow the process of the therapy experience. I use my education in psychoanalytic psychotherapy through education and practical work with experiences analysts to help me continue to learn and help others. I believe in the power of endless learning about ourselves, others and social life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I help people who feel stuck in different areas of their lives and are looking for deeper understanding and change. Many of my clients want to strengthen their relationships and gain greater insight into themselves, including internal patterns and how these show up in relationships. You may be someone who wants to explore how past and present experiences influence your inner world and current relationships, with the goal of feeling more connected, less conflicted, and better overall.
Psychodynamic
I have 5 years post masters education in psychodynamic psychoanalytic psychotherapy from pscyhoanalytic institutes in Manhattan and Westchester, NY. Helping clients understand recurring emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and relational dynamics rooted in earlier experiences. By increasing insight and emotional awareness, therapy fosters deeper and more enduring change.
Relational
My work is rooted in relational psychotherapy, which emphasizes healing through connection. Together, we explore how relational patterns emerge in the therapy relationship and how new ways of relating can develop through a collaborative, authentic process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use a CBT framework to help clients identify cognitive and behavioral patterns that maintain distress, and to develop evidence-based strategies that support emotional regulation, resilience, and adaptive functioning.
Psychoanalytic
My work is grounded in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which focuses on understanding unconscious patterns, emotional conflicts, and relational experiences that shape current functioning. Through reflective exploration, we work toward greater insight and emotional integration.
