Looking for a therapist can be challenging. It can be hard to find someone who is the right fit. I am a licensed clinical social worker working with clients of all ages. I have experience working with those who have experienced traumatic events, grief and loss, anxiety, depressive symptoms, divorce/separations, behavioral concerns, family conflicts and life transitions. In our sessions together, I use an eclectic approach of modalities including talk therapy, psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed therapy, the Ackerman Relational Model, Interpersonal Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In my practice I offer a warm and empathetic approach that is centered around your needs. Please feel free to reach out to set up a 15 minute consultation call.

New York, NY

Dwellness provides in-home therapeutic services to individuals and families across the lifespan via home-based and teletherapy practices. Our clinicians specialize in different developmental periods and therapeutic techniques, which allows for an individualized treatment approach to address each client’s challenges. We believe that therapy should be accessible and translatable to the way one dwells. Bringing psychotherapy into the home gives us the opportunity to help clients shape for the better an environment that often profoundly influences feelings of safety, comfort, and love. We aim to collaborate with clients, to draw upon their inherent resilience and resources and let go of what is in their way, in real time, in the environment in which they experience it. Together we can rebuild or redesign the emotional foundation of the home and cultivate new ways to relate to one another. Our clinicians, ranging from post-doctoral psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, and creative arts therapists, specialize in different developmental periods and therapeutic techniques, which allows for an individualized treatment approach to address each client’s challenges.

You might be someone who’s always striving—high-achieving on the outside, yet still feeling like it’s never enough. Or you may be carrying past experiences that continue to hurt, or navigating the tension between cultures, family expectations, and societal pressures. Whatever brings you here, we can explore your story together and move toward your unique path of healing. I work with women and Asian immigrants who have experienced trauma, as well as clients navigating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. I also help people manage challenges like depression and navigating life transitions. In our sessions, you’ll have space to look at what healing means to you, why certain pains linger, how they show up, and how we might begin to rise above them or make peace with them. If this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Send an inquiry today and start your therapy journey. Sessions are available via telehealth or in-person. Evening sessions are also available. Please inquire for further information on available appointment times.

TriBeCa Therapy is a center for psychotherapy that was founded on the assumption that human beings are original, imaginative, inspired, and inventive. We particularly love our work with young adults and college students and are connected to issues they deal with. Issues related to sex and dating, drugs and drinking, depression and anxiety and academic pressures aren’t topics that will freak us out. We can handle it. College students frequently discuss with us challenges such as: making friends in ways that don’t involve alcohol, making friends as a person of color, navigating social situations that demand connecting with strangers (like in the cafeteria) and finding “their people.” We work to create a partnership that takes these challenges on together, trying new strategies, taking increasingly bigger risks and dealing with the disappointments and celebrating the successes that follow. College is a time when many young adults are dealing with very adults issues like sex, sexual assault, eating disorders, substance abuse, managing money, race, class, and career choices. Creating a space where young adults feel comfortable talking about these issues is a strength of our therapists and a non-judgmental stance is key. The object isn’t to insist on a particular set of values or practices, but to support young people to understand what they are dealing with and to make active choices about who they want to be. Learn more about us by visiting our website https://tribecatherapy.com or emailing us at inquiries@tribecatherapy.com to schedule a consultation call.

Together, we will develop new ways for you to overcome stressful events and feel empowered to face life’s obstacles.

My practice focuses on helping people who want to get to know themselves better and change repetitive life patterns to improve their personal and academic lives. Many of the students, faculty, and administrators I work with have had anxiety, ADHD, or a history of trauma or loss that they need help working through in order to achieve at their optimal level and enjoy life more. I try to create a peaceful office environment in which to explore yourself and learn techniques for managing life better, inside and out. I believe the therapy relationship itself is important to experience so that you can connect with yourself in a different way. Growth comes from curiosity and freedom to express yourself in an empathetic, engaging, and knowledgeable setting. I invite you to visit my website for more detailed information.
