I specialize in helping those struggling with life transitions, relationship issues (dating, marriage, parenting, family dynamics), anxiety and depression.
The therapeutic space is one which asks people to approach difficult experiences, relationships, behaviors, emotions or parts of themselves, that for a multitude of reasons has been too painful or frightening to confront. My role is to partner with you in facing these difficulties, and provide a safe and empathic space in which exploration, increased insight and self awareness, make change possible. I address individual needs through integrating modalities such as CBT, DBT, skills/coping techniques, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am committed to working with clients towards the goals and growth they seek for themselves.

You are creative, intelligent, and inquisitive, but feel like you’ve been left to figure life out on your own. You’ve been shamed for your sensitivity and depth of emotion and treated as the odd one out. Early on, you learned to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, connected, and loved. While on some level, this helps you survive, it also leaves you feeling exhausted, depressed, and anxious. You struggle to achieve things that seem to come easily to others, and while you’re trying everything in your power to move forward, you don’t know how to trust yourself or your decisions. You wonder what’s wrong with you?

Honesty in the therapeutic relationship leads to lasting change.
I see individuals and couples in person in Park Slope or virtually. People struggling with people-pleasing typically have a history of trauma, abuse, neglect or other painful experiences. Even if no longer in those situations, you may experience deep loneliness from hiding yourself, resentment, physical aches and pains, substance use or perfectionism. You may have needed codependency at a time in your life, but find it is no longer working now. I work with individual adults and couples, and specialize in improving authenticity, self-worth, and integrity.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
