Therapists in Greenwood, Brooklyn, NY

Do you notice patterns of behavior that you’d like to explore further? Feel dissatisfied with the way things are currently in your life? By drawing from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral (ie. CBT and ACT), and psychodynamic modalities, I empower clients to gain insight, define goals, and develop skills/tools to live meaningful lives consistent with their values. I see psychotherapy as an interactive process that can promote insight, create positive change, and foster growth. I also bring this perspective into my work with couples and families. I can provide couples/ family psychotherapy as well as discernment counseling.

My goal as a therapist is to create an open and safe space for clients in which we can work collaboratively and foster change. Together we can explore both what is troubling and unrewarding for you as well as strengths you may find hard to discern and fully realize. As you gain a better understanding of all aspects of yourself, we will work to transform patterns that no longer serve you and reimagine more satisfying ways of being. Our goal will be to help you find a more positive and capable sense of yourself with a greater ability to face and overcome challenges.

I work with adults experiencing interpersonal conflict, family conflict, self-esteem issues, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and anger management.

Across the span of child and adolescent development, every individual has a unique personal story and strengths that shine through, even in the face of challenge.
