Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Life is anything but a linear experience and sometimes you might feel lost. You may find yourself feeling confused about your choices, or struggle to understand your feelings. My role is to help you understand your emotional framework and how to get to where you truly want to go. I specialize in working with clients from diverse backgrounds who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, school issues and life transitions. I’m also bilingual and speak Spanish. My goal is always to help you develop skills that will allow you to cope independently after our time together ends.

My goal is to foster a safe and supportive environment where clients feel seen, validated, and empowered to express emotions, explore thought processes, and gain a deeper understanding of self. I work collaboratively with my clients to establish goals and identify tools to overcome personal obstacles. I believe that seeking therapy is an act of great courage and vulnerability, and I aim to celebrate each person’s resilience and growth through our work together.

My passion lies in working with individuals who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness. My work as a psychiatric social worker has influenced my strong belief in the power of talk therapy within the world of psychiatry and mental health as a complement to other treatments. While medications can treat symptoms, processing past experiences can really help address the underlying issues that may be contributing to the symptoms. As your therapist, I want to dig down there with you to understand how past experiences are impacting you now and explore strategies we can put in place to help you move toward your future.

I understand the importance of having a safe place to express oneself without fear of being judged.

I am particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals, and have specialized training working with people who have ADHD and executive functioning challenges. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and look forward to collaborating with clients to develop a safe space in which to develop personalized treatment.

You struggle with intense emotions and feel stuck in your life. You feel irritable, down, worried, or numb more days than not. You may lash out at others or yourself. Old coping strategies no longer work. It’s difficult to imagine life improving - for you to do anything other than tolerate your symptoms. The clients I work with have experienced trauma of all kinds, including childhood sexual abuse, betrayal, sexual assault, incest, combat trauma, racism, ableism, homophobia, physical and emotional abuse, and dysfunctional families.

I've been in therapy for many years, so I appreciate what it means for you to be here.

Therapy is the space to make those shifts, at a pace that is comfortable for you. True change requires honesty, curiosity, accountability, and compassion for yourself, which are all integral to my approach.
