Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, NY

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies (CBT and DBT). I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. My goal is to help clients identify and capitalize upon their ability to cope with emotional distress and live fulfilling lives. My approach is compassionate and change-oriented, with a focus upon developing new ways of thinking, behaving and responding to emotions. I use an evidence-based approach that is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs. I have experience in the treatment of trauma, self-destructive and impulsive behaviors, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, and general stress management.

The collective grief of the pandemic has left us facing anxiety and unstability we may have already been managing before, but it's now magnified by the loss of so much of what we remember having. Emerging feelings can include grief, depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, and even anger. This can leave us feeling isolated and alone as we struggle to navigate through the monotony and difficulties of our new every day.

I am a true believer that we are spiritual beings that are having physical experiences. At times, these physical experiences can cause us to feel detached from community with ourselves, our family members, and friends. This detachment can bring about feelings and emotions that are difficult to sit with. Feelings like sadness, worry, hopelessness, confusion, and emptiness. These feelings are normal and my goal is to create a safe space for you to find your way back to community through humanizing your experiences; to use your strengths along with the resources around you to make that journey seem more possible.

My approach prioritizes mindfulness, building a therapeutic alliance, being trauma-informed, and collaborating on an integrative practice that best fits your needs. Your psychological, emotional, and social well-being has a direct impact on every aspect of your life. Let's connect so I can support you in building positive mental health practices.

The struggles of day to day can sometimes leave us feeling exhausted in navigating life’s challenges. In therapy we develop the ability to better tolerate the difficult and uncomfortable emotions and feelings. We build skills and tools to practice when those moments happen, creating a full and authentic life.

There are times in life when we may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns that feel difficult to overcome. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, unhealthy coping strategies, low self-esteem, and those navigating life transitions. My approach to therapy emphasizes self-acceptance while working towards lasting change necessary for life fulfillment. I practice from a strengths-based perspective and work collaboratively with clients to develop an individualized approach to treatment that meets their specific needs.

My goal is to help shift mindsets and help navigate the discussion as to why caring for your mental health is just as imperative as your physical health. It can be difficult to begin the journey of therapy, talk about our traumas, and make the connections needed to begin our healing process. As your therapist, I will ensure that a safe, non-judgmental space is created so you can be equipped with the tools to live your most fulfilling life. I strive to help my clients find peace, comfort, and self-love that will guide them through life in a meaningful way.

Stress, confusion and fear prevent us from accessing the motivation and energy needed to create a more fulfilling and successful life. And getting to a place of peace and emotional well-being requires not only your attention and great care but also a guide, someone to facilitate your effort. I'm in ongoing advanced training in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy but unlike typical therapists I don't act like a blank screen. I have a modern approach to therapy and provide feedback and collaborate with my clients.

Everyone goes through periods in their lives when they feel stuck with work and/or love. They can feel overwhelmed about the choices they have to make or feel forsaken by the perceived lack of opportunities. During these stressful times, they often lose their center, their sense of being grounded, and forget about the importance of personal care.

Therapy is a process and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek it out. I believe that all of us have in us the right tools to change our lives and achieve our goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance and support from someone who might have a different perspective. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide expert services working with adults and adolescents to strengthen their ability to overcome stress, grief and loss, anxiety and depression using specific interventions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coaching, and mindfulness training.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from others and wish for relationships that are more solid and fulfilling? Do you struggle with difficulties in communication or experience feelings of being misunderstood? Have you experienced difficult events in the past that affect your current life? Whatever challenges currently bring you to consider therapy, I would like to work with you to alleviate distress, promote positive change, and form stronger relationships. I love the work I do and I feel privileged to see individuals, couples, and families grow, deepen understanding, and change through their experiences in therapy.

In my clinical practice, I work with individual adults who struggle with forming their own identity (I often say I'm a good fit for people who feel like the "black sheep" of the family), discomfort in their body (which may express itself through difficulty with food, eating patterns, discomfort with sex). Working together in a safe and open space has been helpful and productive for my patients, allowing them to gain access to a sense of worth and fullness they didn't know was possible.
