I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others.

I offer in-person therapy in Brooklyn, NY and teletherapy to residents of NY, CT, MD and FL. I believe that a strong relationship between patient and therapist is the foundational ingredient to a successful therapy. Together, we will explore your unique identity, experiences, and inner life, allowing you to better understand yourself and your relationships.

I help people with a wide range of concerns (work, family, relationships/ divorce/ blended family, depression and anxiety, trauma) find their resilience and agency and help make meaning and sense of experiences. My work stems from Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Grief training. I work with people in a non judgmental way to help create positive change and heal. It's my belief that our work together in a safe, empathetic environment enables my clients to reach their full potential and improve their quality of life.

I know that making the decision to seek a therapist is often a difficult one so I make sure that you have a safe, comforting, and professional place to discuss intimate details of your life with a trained therapist. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, rather I see it as collaborative; you and I will work together to help you achieve more peace and happiness in your life.

It can be a gratifying experience examining different facets of your life and reflecting on how your role in the world evolves. Figuring out your place and considering your identities can be a challenging and curious endeavor. There might have been times when you were not allowed to express your true self either due to family or societal pressures. With that can come feelings of shame, guilt and fear over how you move through your day to day and how you interact with others. Creating a steady sense of who you are is an ongoing process and therapy is a great place to begin to figure this out and help you navigate your life with ease.

Life can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist shouldn't add to that stress. Each one of us deserves access to a safe, judgment-free space. As a therapist, I fiercely defend that space for my clients, and I hope to meet you there with warmth, authenticity, and humor. Having served the diverse population of this city in medical, educational, and non-profit settings, I am sensitive to the complex New York experience while acknowledging that your journey is unique. I offer a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive approach for adults and young adults struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression.

My clients are children, adolescents, adults and parents experiencing life stressors, struggling with relationships, striving for personal growth or seeking change. My work commonly addresses symptoms such as anxiety, depression or general difficulty functioning in one or more areas. I use an eclectic and collaborative style to best serve each client. My highly individualized and integrative approach draws from a variety of techniques depending on specific therapeutic goals and needs. When working with children and adolescents, I find it is important and most effective if I collaborate closely with their parents to support the family system and promote optimal outcomes.

There is tremendous potential for healing in relationship with others. And yet, beginning work with a new therapist can be incredibly challenging! I work with you to develop a relationship where there is the trust and safety to explore. Our work is a collaboration and I meet you at your own pace. I listen to what you need and work to create an environment where you feel fully seen and understood.

I'm passionate about helping clients recognize and break unhealthy patterns in their lives, particularly involving close relationships. I work with individuals and couples on cultivating more understanding and compassion for self and others, and on more caring and effective navigation of relationship conflicts. I support clients in advocating for their own needs, desires and boundaries in relationships, and on better understanding the perspectives and needs of others. I welcomed a child at the height of Covid-19 (2020), and I enjoy working with new parents on maintaining self-care and personal fulfillment while parenting young kids.

Let's work together to realize the best version of you and your life. Together let's discovery the tools you'll need to flourish in spite of the obstacles you may be managing. Let's create the space for you to connect with your power. It's been my pleasure to support clients in reaching their individual goals. Finding the right person to trust along your journey can oftentimes seem like the toughest decision. My practice is accepting and non-judgemental. Let's get to work!

If you are seeking therapy at this point in your life, you may be feeling that your usual way of coping isn't working anymore. This may lead to you feeling alienated and lonely, frustrated and angry, hopeless, confused, striving for perfection, or otherwise stuck. It may simply be that your usual way of being is made up of out-of-date strategies - what was once adaptive is now causing you stress and unnecessary suffering. Let me help you learn how to start relaxing the struggle. Our work together will provide an opportunity for self-knowledge, tolerance for difficult emotions, and acceptance of your own humanity.

Are you seeking a life that feels more joyful, connected and in-control? With the right support, you can be happier, more deeply connected to yourself and other people, and gain control over extreme emotions or behaviors. In my practice, I encourage patients to investigate thought patterns, engage in mindful exercises and explore ways of knowing which access the unconscious. My approach is warm, open and practical and geared towards helping you deepen self-awareness and self-knowing. Whatever your personal goal is, we can work on it together.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with issues related to sex and sexuality, and my work is rooted in helping clients feel okay with complexities of being human. I will help you identify the themes and patterns that might be causing internal distress, blocking you from the life you want or having the relationships you desire. I value collaboration as essential to encouraging the micromovements that will lead you towards a path of relief.

Has your life taken a sharp, unexpected turn at a terrible time? Or maybe you just feel yourself drifting off the path you're traveling and are having difficulty getting back on track. Your vision may be cloudy and that can intensify the amount of distress you feel in your pursuit to returning to your previous level of functioning. What can be even scarier is not knowing when exactly you lost control of the steering wheel or who to rely on in your time of need.

I specialize in psychotherapy for presenting clinical issues such as anxiety and depression which may result from stresses throughout the lifespan. . As a seasoned professional, I am experienced with the full range of human concerns, and am a down-to-earth, active, engaged therapist. My mission is to help others forward in their lives, and quickly identify their "stuck points" which may be rooted in earlier life trauma. I have an accessible style and a practical approach which is especially empowering to parents, to young adults of both genders, to new mothers, and with women who are assessing their options for change.

I strongly believe that at our core the way we interpret what we experience creates narratives that guides our behaviors or how we react to things. It can mean the difference between being hopeful and hopeless.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and for 14 years I have helped women of all ages and backgrounds to heal and live full, empowered, and authentic lives. I have worked with women who have a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, postpartum struggles, grief, chronic illness, work stress, relationship conflict, and issues related to identity. I am trained in several evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation - Narrative Therapy (STAIR-NST) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

This world can be hard at times, particularly for people whose lives aren't included in the dominant narrative. As a therapist specializing in supporting LGBTQIA+ adults and teens, my goal is to combat the impact of these challenges and promote healing. I help clients to develop compassionate self-understanding, encourage authenticity, uncover deep personal truths, and hopefully attain fulfillment on their terms. I use a trauma-informed, intersectional, anti-oppressive lens.
