Therapist

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and mutual respect. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with clients across the lifespan and have experience supporting people navigating obsessive and personality disorders, interpersonal relationships, self-care, socialization, and other challenges that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. As a New York State–licensed mental health counselor, I bring an integrative perspective to therapy and strive to understand each client as a whole person rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis or presenting concern. I also have a background in music, which continues to be an important part of my life and informs my belief in finding balance, meaning, and your own unique rhythm.

Psychologist

Hi, I'm Kristina. I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and the weight that builds up when life gets genuinely hard. That includes LGBTQ+ youth and adults, adolescents with disabilities, couples, people of color, and clients who have felt like the system was not

built with them in mind. My approach is integrative and strengths-based, with CBT and trauma-informed care at the core, and I show up with genuine empathy and honest

directness. I have received training in exposure and response prevention, psychoeducational testing, and family and forensic psychology, and I have worked with couples, court-mandated individuals, and clients who struggle financially. Reach out when you are ready. (Psy.D.,

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Maybe the same arguments keep happening at home, or you and your partner feel distant and struggle to reconnect. Maybe you’re navigating a new role as a husband, wife, or parent, and adjusting feels harder than you expected. Maybe life after a new baby feels overwhelming, or stress has been building quietly until everything feels heavy. Whatever brought you here, we can start with where you are and work together toward the changes you want to make.

I’m Roxanne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have experience helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, reconnect emotionally, and work through challenges with physical and emotional intimacy. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you disconnected and work toward a more fulfilling relationship.

Much of my work also centers on family relationships, parenting, and the many roles women are asked to carry. I welcome clients navigating grief, painful past experiences, questions of identity, and the push and pull of cultural expectations. I hold master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, and my experience spans private practice, schools, homes, and community settings.
