Talk therapy can transform your life

Home: FAQ

What are the benefits
of talk therapy?

  • You can safely talk about things that you maybe never felt comfortable discussing before. 

  • It helps you clarify & organize your thoughts and feelings.

  • You'll gain insight into yourself and others. 

  • You won't need to self-medicate any more.

  • You'll develop skills to feel better now & down the road.

  • You will get to the root of the issue for long term results.

  • You won't feel so alone.

  • Repressed emotions will no longer haunt you.

  • Physical ailments often diminish when you begin to feel better emotionally.

Why talk about upsetting things?

People mistakenly believe that talking about upsetting feelings and events will make them feel worse. Honestly, just the opposite is true. Avoiding thinking or talking about things that upset us does not make them go away. Those feelings linger under the surface and continue to  erupt in unexpected and sometimes  more upsetting ways. Avoidance is the gas that fuels our anxiety, anger, and depression; sharing whatever is upsetting you gives it shape, makes it less scary, and more manageable. Talk therapy helps you work through and process your feelings so that you are not overwhelmed by them.  You'll learn strategies to help you manage stress better and express your  emotions more productively. You will feel more in control.

I look forward to helping you find the life you want & deserve.

A little about me...

I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Columbia University. I have been providing mental health services for more than 8 years.

My style is dynamic, empathic, & results-oriented. I believe therapy should not be lifelong. You will gain the skills, insight, and strength necessary to achieve your goals and go on to live your best life. 

 

The interventions I use in treatment are evidence-based and proven to reduce and manage depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and behavioral issues. 

When I am not in session, I am cooking & dancing, taking photos of nature, and working out.
