I am a New York State Licensed Psychotherapist who has completed his training at The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (MITPP). I specialize in individual psychotherapy for adults of all ages, and I am the founder of Affinity Psychotherapy.
As humans, our greatest strength is our ability to form connections with others. As a therapist, I aim to create authentic relationships with my clients in an open, trustworthy environment. Through trauma-informed practice, I work with my clients to foster fulfilling connections and secure attachments in their personal lives.
I understand the psychotherapy process as a bridge. A bridge is a transitional space that allow us to connect to the other side. The therapeutic space, as a bridge, is an opportunity to create an encounter with our true self, and a space for “change”. Once we cross the bridge, we will be different. I believe the therapeutic space is a partnership, building on the respect of one’s own self and the respect and acceptance of our differences. My approach to therapy is focused on each individual’s need, while providing a safe, supported and empathic environment.
Transitioning from four years as a school counselor to pursuing my master’s in mental health counseling, I bring a wealth of experience in development and psychology. I believe in the innate capacity of every individual to overcome challenges and meet goals with the right guidance. While my background lies with adolescence and teens, I’m eager to extend my support to adults as well. With a client-centered approach, I create safe spaces for exploration and tailor interventions to meet unique needs.
