Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in substance use and trauma-related mental health concerns. I work from a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective while drawing from my experience with a wide variety of treatment approaches, including harm reduction, CBT, Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention, and empirically validated treatments for PTSD. My focus is on building a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic space in which we can investigate how early relationship models may inform current interpersonal patterns, with the goal of helping you to relate to others with greater flexibility and choice.

I view everyone holistically and without judgement, creating a comfortable space where you have the capacity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and intuitions in order to overcome life's obstacles. I believe trauma is a universal human experience and I am experienced in supporting people through complex and simple traumas.

I have over 25 years of postgraduate experience and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. People I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. They also feel that I like and enjoy them.

Do you feel there’s something more for you in the world, but don’t know what it is or how to get to it? Do emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms make this seem impossible? My mission as a therapist is to build an authentic, trusting relationship where you’ll feel safe to explore who you are and what you want. Feeling secure, heard, and accepted is the starting point for working through any struggles holding you back. I work most often with college students, young professionals, and teens, on issues like anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. I also find it rewarding to work with couples.

Maybe you don’t like yourself that much. Other people stress you out. You might look OK on the outside but inside there’s self-criticism and doubt. You can be surrounded by people and still feel alone in your head. You wish you could change but you don’t know how. If some or all of the above is familiar to you - I recognize this place, and I’ve helped people out of it. You don’t need to feel this way forever. Over the years I've helped many people just like you, using years of training and experience along with warmth, empathy, and relatedness.

Change can be scary and most people do not like dealing with the fear of the unknown, let alone situations that can create further uncertainty. Thus, in order to feel different, one must do different. When meeting with my clients, I focus on where their story begins to gain a better understanding of who they are, where they came from, and what they hope to achieve. Using a strengths-based perspective, I empower each individual that I work with to utilize the resources, talents, knowledge, and innate inner abilities that they already possess in order to help them get to the place where they ultimately would like to be.

My ideal client is an individual who is highly motivated to explore themselves and the possibility of a brighter future. Through consistent sessions, I'm sure we'll be able to address the needs that have brought you into therapy. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to lean in, especially when instinct may tell us to lean back. I want to join you on your journey towards enlightenment, self improvement and sustained change.

Life can feel like a cluster of challenging, confusing, and never-ending hurdles. When left to tackle them on your own, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate, and empowering space to process past difficulties, current stressors, and future anxieties. I aim to create an atmosphere of emotional safety, trust, and respect. My therapeutic style is a collaborative, client-centered and culturally sensitive approach. Together, we will explore obstacles that hinder your ability to reach your fullest potential and work to overcome your personal or professional difficulties.

I have extensive experience working with people who are LGBTQ+, polyamorous/ENM, neurodivergent, sex workers, disabled, kink-identified, and HIV positive. Some of the issues I can help you cope with include low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, loneliness, past trauma, and difficult relationships with family members. My style is non-judgmental and collaborative to help bring about the changes you are seeking. Additionally, I am an out trans person, and I love working with other trans people and those who have trans loved ones in their lives.

Specializing in LGBT/Kink/Poly/SW populations, I have extensive experience engaging with people across the spectrum of sexual orientation, gender expression, and power role identification. I provide a holistic, non-pathologizing counseling and sex therapy experience for individuals and partners that celebrates the diversity of consensual adult sexuality, identity, and relationship structures. My background includes +15 years as a member, mentor and educator in New York City’s sex positive and BDSM communities. Together we can explore how your life and general ways of being serve you...or fail to...and what can be done about it.
