I offer compassionate support and EMDR to those facing mood disorders, existential issues, sexuality, family issues, spirituality concerns, life path issues, trauma, anxiety, and a range of psychological and personal challenges. I seek to connect with clients in a patient and exploratory manner, providing insight and relief for those who seek it. Genuineness, authenticity, and acceptance are central to my practice and I strive to bring this into every moment. Based out of Manhattan (West 25th) and Kingston (Pine and Maiden) offering in-person sessions and telehealth. I work with teens (18+) and adults of all ages.
I have recently completed an EMDR basic training at National Institute of the Psychotherapies and an intensive year of psychodynamic and family systems training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy. I am versed in the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Intergenerational Trauma and EMDR.
I invite you to reach out; I am excited to meet you. I look forward to establishing a meaningful connection with you and helping you to experience peace in your life. Together we will journey toward healing.

Brian brings an amazing sense of whimsy, creativity, and uniqueness to his work. As a fellow creative, I've enjoyed connecting with Brian and hearing how his identity as a musician influences his approach to therapy and makes it so special.
