Female Therapists in New York, NY
I focus on the treatment of adolescents and adults by integrating both psychodynamic and CBT principles. I aid my clients in achieving meaningful and lasting change by helping them better understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is my firm belief that clients ultimately do the heavy lifting in helping themselves. While I can guide them through with careful listening and appropriate questioning, it is with their dedication and hard work that they find the answers to a more fulfilling and happy life.

My goal as a clinician is to help you feel free. In treatment, I will invite you to bring your whole self into the room, as you are. Together, we will work to identify the ways in which you feel stuck and shift unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. Whether it be for an acute issue or chronic stress, for symptom management or general exploration, I will help you both accept your authentic self and also courageously change that which no longer serves you. Through this process, I believe you will begin to better know who you are, identify what you want, and live a richer, more meaningful life.

Are you struggling with over-thinking, worry, procrastination, or chronic stress? Or maybe noticing that you keep repeating the same relationship mistakes, or struggling to find the motivation to date, despite wanting to find a relationship? People often come to therapy looking to shift the way they manage their relationships or the day to day flow of coping with stress. I can help you unstick those old, stuck patterns and free up your available energy so that you can grow, change, and thrive rather than just survive.

As a holistic psychotherapist and deep soul diver, I view every life as a sacred story that is open to interpretation, especially your own.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
