Can't relax even when nothing's wrong? On the outside you've got it handled. You push through, stay logical, and don't ask much of anyone. That can come at a cost: holding it all together takes more out of you than anyone sees, and it's wearing you down.If you're looking for equal parts challenge and support, plus an honest look at what's really going on underneath, we'll probably work well together. I won't just tell you what you want to hear. I want to figure out what's working, what isn't, and how to get you closer to who you actually want to be, not who you think you're supposed to be.
Most of the people I work with know the feeling of a brain that won't turn off. A lot of our work is about stepping out of your head and noticing what's actually happening, instead of analyzing it from a distance. From there, we'll break down the autopilot patterns that have been wearing you down, get clear on what genuinely matters to you, and start letting go of the image that's exhausting to keep up. I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is built for exactly this kind of work, and together we'll use it to keep you moving toward what you actually want.Before becoming an Associate Psychotherapist at The Soho Center, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from Fordham University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Touro University School of Health Sciences.
