Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 6 years of experience helping individuals with a wide range of emotional issues, relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety. I work to create a warm, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe enough to look at and understand the actions and thoughts that are interfering with your own happiness. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is authentic and relatable, because therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable and understood. Sessions with me provide the comfort of conversation with an old friend & the results of working with a trained professional.

Throughout my training and career, I've worked with diverse populations facing various challenges, including relationship issues, identity exploration, anxiety, and life transitions. By creating an empathetic space where clients feel understood and supported, we are able to delve into unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts that may be impacting their lives. My therapeutic style is interpersonal and collaborative. My goal as a psychodynamic therapist is to assist in reflection and exploration, to offer my honest insight and perspective when useful, and to provide a space for the myriad parts of the self to become known.

I provide empathic treatment to teens & women presenting with various clinical needs. An eclectic therapeutic approach is provided, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, play, art & yoga therapies. I provide treatment to those experiencing symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, self-esteem issues, future/career planning, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, or developmental & learning disabilities. I look forward to working with you closely & compassionately to identify your strengths, challenges, & areas to focus emotional energy to move towards growth, healing, & change. Together we will support you to empower & guide you towards goals that will help you feeling more emotionally positive, healthy, & balanced.

Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. You may have difficulty making decisions or suffer from fears. Sadness, eating, sleeping or related physical ailments can keep you from being your best. For children, behavior is their indicator. Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned. Or maybe it’s a change in your life, even one that is supposed to be happy, and you’re not. You don’t like the path your life is taking. You don’t have to live that way. There is treatment. And it works.

Are you looking for an affirming space to better identify and cope with psychological pain and develop coping skills and self-discovery practices? In my practice, I meet your individual needs in a person-centered approach specializing in somatic healing in folx of all ages, integrative play therapy for children struggling to identify and regulate big feelings, DBT, and cognitive coping skills for teens and adults dealing with emotional distress and impairment of daily functioning due to anxiety, depression, trauma and other mental health-related issues.

Ever feel like you're losing the grip on this thing we call "Life?" That things are just too overwhelming, confusing and like you need some answers or guidance? Or maybe you just need to re-find your footing? Get some help with your child, family or any other people in your life? Deal with the loneliness, anxiety, depression, lack of confidence and motivation or simply want someone to talk to who might "get it" and doesn't beat around the bush? That's where I come in!

I approach the therapeutic process with reverence, openness, curiosity, and a desire to understand your unique experience. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and deepen your knowledge of yourself. I believe in the importance of cultural competency and responsiveness: I understand that your identity, your relationships, and your lived experiences provide meaning and context to your inner world. Let's be curious together as we figure out what contributes to and amplifies the challenges in your life, and explore ways to uncover your healthy self.

No matter what you are facing in your life, entering into a therapeutic relationship will foster growth and create opportunities for repair. I bring a collaborative and relational approach to my work. Using warmth, humor, and non-judgmental curiosity, I provide you with a safe environment where together we will work to enhance your inherent strengths and enact lasting change.

I am a family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I provide supervision and training as well as therapy, and am a senior faculty member at the Minuchin Center for the Family. I work with individuals and families experiencing the range of issues that bring people into therapy: depression, divorce, substance abuse, behavior problems, relationship issues, adolescent issues, etc. I work with children, adolescents, and adults; and see individuals, couples, and families. But, as a family therapist, I am always concerned with the many ways in which our families and our significant relationships impact on our lives.

Throughout life, our attention and energy can often be directed away from ourselves as we search for happiness and fulfillment within our relationships, career, and elsewhere. Therapy is a place to pause and reflect on this journey to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and chart a path forward. My approach in therapy is grounded in your unique needs, strengths, history, and identities. I draw upon my extensive training and experience in evidence-based psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral treatments to develop a treatment plan based on your background and goals.

Do you feel unfulfilled by the quality of your personal relationships? Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward in your professional life? Are the demands of parenthood overwhelming you? Or, do you just feel rather lost in the world? If so, it may be time to consider beginning therapy. Therapy can help you to get to the roots of your issues, develop a better understanding of yourself and provide you with tools to more effectively manage your life.

Are you caught in a stressful cycle of conflict in your relationship? Does it feel as if you and your loved one(s) are repeating the same pattern? Let's work together to change this. I can help you to discover how unspoken communication, past experiences, and beliefs, may be influencing your relationship. We will work together to understand these patterns, and how they aren't serving you. Together, we can develop more effective communication skills and replace the patterns which are holding you back. I believe that therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and solution focused.

In therapy, my goal is to use a person-centered approach and focus on the issues most pressing to you. I hope to create a warm, welcoming space for my clients and use a collaborative approach to resolve the issues we explore. In my opinion, being solution-focused and identifying strengths and barriers are critical to creating sustainable change.

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and valued. I’m passionate about helping people uncover new insights about themselves, empowering them to live more free and authentic lives. I tend to be conversational, collaborative, and engaged during sessions, encouraging open dialogue that fosters honest sharing. I also value feedback and regularly check in because I find it deepens our work together. My goal is to support you on your unique journey of personal growth and self-discovery.

Do you often feel like your emotions are out-of-control? Do you experience mood swings, anger, depression or anxiety? Have your relationships felt unsatisfying? Perhaps you wonder if past experiences or how you were treated as a child are affecting how you feel now. If you feel hopeless or discouraged, please know that you don’t have to feel like that! We can work together to understand your thoughts, feelings and your past. Then, we'll focus on changing patterns that keep you feeling stuck and developing new ways to cope so that you experience more of what you desire in life.

My style is interactive, collaborative, supportive and nonjudgmental. You will feel comfortable to discuss your most personal thoughts and feelings.

Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed can be very debilitating, isolating and feel permanent. These challenges can come up in relationships (love, family) and in your profession. You may have tried just about everything you can think of to address your concerns but still don't know how to move forward and resolve things. I can help you find relief. I have a calm, gentle presence that is perceived by many to be nurturing and inviting.

As a Licensed Therapist and EMDR specialist, I offer a unique, holistic approach to mental health and healing. I integrate Eastern and Western philosophies by mixing traditional therapy, coaching, and spirituality to help individuals better understand their inner world, befriend their nervous system (instead of working against it), and navigate changing relationships. I also specialize in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and offer psychedelic integration support. Through my years of professional practice and my own personal work, I have cultivated an approach that meets each person where they are on their healing journey.

Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for change, and that thought can inspire hope. I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years experience and training. My passion is to help people address and solve issues in their lives so that they can achieve greater personal fulfillment. I work in a collaborative way with clients, setting personal goals and a plan for achieving them. Each person brings his or her own history and problems to my office, and in an atmosphere of safety and empathy, we work together using inspiration and insight to help uncover each person's unique self.
