Interpersonal Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Psychotherapy can be a challenging and rewarding process. Of course, people come to treatment to talk about what's wrong, but it is also important to talk about what's right. Each person has natural areas of strength we can further develop to help increase coping skills, reduce distress, improve relationships, and develop a more positive outlook.

My primary goal as a clinical psychologist is to help patients develop more fulfilling, meaningful and rewarding relationships through evidence-based treatment. My approach to healing integrates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). I work collaboratively with individuals to create a safe space and a therapeutic alliance where clients identify aspects of life that are causing difficulties and symptoms. CBT and IPT enable clients to uncover and to change unhelpful patterns of social behavior, distortions of thought, and to improve present day coping skills and management of emotions.

If you’re not feeling like yourself lately, you’re not alone. I don’t know many people that have not been affected in some way by the Pandemic and its related stressors. And it's not as if life was stress-free before COVID, either. The world is spinning faster by the minute, and the expectations placed upon us by work, relationships, and family can feel exasperating. We demand a lot of ourselves, and sometimes we feel that we’re not living up to our own standards, or that we’re not where we should be in our lives, that success and happiness are eluding us despite our best efforts. Therapy can help you get back on track.

Whatever brings you to therapy, talking to a well-trained, warm and sensitive therapist is likely to bring relief. I believe that a collaborative, genuinely caring therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy. Within the context of an empathic relationship, a person is safe to get to know her or his own feelings and habits, and where they come from. They are then unbound to repeat the same unhelpful patterns.
