I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Brooklyn, NY. I bring compassion, a strong skill set, and warmth to every person I treat.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist primarily practicing EMDR with a focus on trauma/PTSD, severe mental illness and other emotional distress, including experiences related to racial identity and sexual orientation. I'm curious about you; there is no judgment about your past, your perceptions, or your feelings. My foundation is in trauma work & attachment theory, where we look at relationships and experiences and how they may affect you today: the social and cultural settings we're in, how the way we identify ourselves and the way others identify us impacts your sense of safety, how we are perceived, and what opportunities we have.

My concept of therapy is thinking together with someone about their experiences and their relationships in a compassionate and respectful environment.

Starting therapy is a leap of faith at a time when hope is scarce. It is an act of courage. I prioritize symptom relief and stabilization, but I believe that lasting change and growth stem from a deeper understanding of our histories, relationships, internal worlds, and motivations. I work best with people who are willing to take a risk and become curious about their own complexity. I believe social and political environments, genetic predispositions, and intergenerational histories all interact to manifest our challenges and gifts. Ideally, my clients would be open to uncovering the many unconscious forces at play in their lives.

I'm a psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults, specializing in loss, trauma and family issues, in English and Spanish. I use integrative, strengths and evidenced-based therapy. I believe that humans are inherently wired for resilience. In particular contexts, our once healthy coping skills may prevent us from returning to our adaptive core. In therapy, I urge patients to learn to experience and tolerate emotions, access instinctive coping capacities and build a flexible mindset. This method allows patients to uncover strengths, and deepen their sense of hope, leading lives filled with vitality and exuberance.

My approach is to provide a safe, warm and respectful space while assisting you in the process of moving towards the change you want, balancing your life or creating a better relationship in order to have a more fulfilling and complete life.
