I specialize in working with adolescents, college students, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and related concerns. While I specialize in using a cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach, it may also be useful to integrate insight-oriented therapies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches, depending on specific client needs. I utilize tailored approaches with clients to help them become the best versions of themselves. Therapy looks different for everyone, as it should. No matter what each client’s goals are, I emphasize trusting the process. From my perspective you are the expert on yourself; I follow your lead. I work to meet my clients where they are which means that stepping on the gas or pumping the brakes is up to you, allowing you to feel a sense of control during sessions. My hope is that you will feel like you are talking with someone who is genuinely interested in helping you reach your goals, whatever they may be.

With over fifteen years of experience working with people of all ages, I blend evidence-based interventions and compassion to empower my clients to successfully navigate life’s challenges and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

I specialize in helping people with medical concerns cope with the emotional aspects of chronic illness and achieve health-related goals.

I have had the pleasure of working with creative professionals and entrepreneurs who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, acculturation difficulties, career concerns, and identity issues. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients achieve the best version of themselves. I typically use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. However, I strongly believe that the effectiveness of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist.

I have more than twenty years of experience in full-time private practice, in which I enjoy working with students to help them gain greater understanding of their feelings so that they can achieve their goals and be their best selves. Whether you're struggling with a life transition, family/relationship issues, feelings of depression/anxiety, low self-esteem, a traumatic history or event, career or gender identity issues, I would love to help you navigate the quagmire of emotions and heal. Please view my website, and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions and to schedule an appointment.

Are you unmotivated by everyday tasks and struggle to find where you belong in your social group? When you look in the mirror, do negative thoughts such as “I’m not enough” or “I feel hopeless” roam inside your brain? Do you find yourself freezing up in social situations, wishing you knew how to react? In a society plagued by institutional racism, gender inequalities, and generational differences, it is common to feel disheartened, anxious, and angry at ourselves and the world around us. By reaching out and prioritizing self-care, we can create a safe space to process difficult emotions and learn to manage your reactions.

Every individual carries a unique story, and as a therapist-in-training, I am deeply honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I approach therapy with a blend of curiosity, empathy, and respect, aiming to create a safe and nurturing space where you feel comfortable exploring the complexities of your inner world. My therapeutic style is integrative, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, person-centered approaches, and trauma-informed techniques to tailor our work to your specific needs and circumstances. I have experience working with a range of concerns, including but not limited to relationship-related issues, sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. I understand that life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and seeking support is a courageous and important step. I am here to listen, support, and guide you through these difficult times. Together, we will embark on a collaborative journey to understand your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop effective coping strategies that empower you to move forward with resilience and confidence. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to creating a warm, inviting environment where you feel genuinely seen and understood. I strive to offer a space free of judgment, where you can safely express your emotions and share your story. By integrating evidence-based techniques with a deep, compassionate understanding of your unique experiences, my goal is to help you unlock your full potential and live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. No matter where you are on your therapeutic path, I am here to provide unwavering support, encouragement, and guidance as you grow, heal, and transform.

I am a New York State licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience. I work with adults of diverse backgrounds and my areas of special interest include difficult life transitions, relationship conflict, racial/cultural identity, and grief and loss. I offer online video therapy sessions (telehealth) exclusively, making therapy comfortable and accessible. Whether you are struggling with negative feelings toward yourself, dissatisfaction with relationships, your academic performance or are having difficulty letting go of the past, experiencing fear about the future, or simply feeling stuck in current circumstances, therapy can bring about needed change. To achieve this, our work together may involve finding meaning and purpose, establishing or recovering a connection to your inner emotional world and/or important people around you, processing and recovering from emotional wounds, be they old or recent, or formulating a concrete plan of action and working on it together step by step. My theoretical orientation is primarily psychodynamic and I integrate other approaches (i.e. DBT, CBT, etc.) as appropriate while always working from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens. I am Zur Institute certified in teletherapy. I offer a free brief phone consultation prior to scheduling an initial appointment in order to clarify whether teletherapy with me would be a good fit. Please visit www.afapsychology.com to schedule your free consultation.

So many students can feel overwhelmed… by choices, by things that need to be done, by relationships at home and at school, by worries about your own life and the broader world, by figuring out who you are… who you want to be… where you fit in… where you want to go. I want to help you grow to cope more easily with all that’s on your plate. I also specialize in supporting caregivers of all kinds. Do you have aging parents, a loved one with dementia or chronic illness, or children (perhaps with special needs) who need your care? Are you a health care worker, teacher, or volunteer? I want to help you balance caring for others with valuing and taking better care of yourself. When we work together, you are in charge; you drive the boat. I view my role as coach, pit crew, investigator, occasional guest lecturer, comic relief, gentle nudge, and trusted companion on your path. My work is all about your strengths and your vision–finding them, sorting between them, nurturing them to take you in directions you want to go. Our work is also about play: finding the courage and confidence to dream, to try, to try again, to try a different route. You can do both, staying present to enjoy as much as possible of your now while moving towards a future that makes your heart sing. All identities warmly welcome.
