With each of my clients, I cultivate a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for identity exploration, so that you can more fully embody your truth in your day-to-day life. While a sense of progress is integral to the therapeutic journey, we will create a personalized understanding of what growth looks like for you, rather than settling for more prescriptive goals. As a relational therapist, I help people foster deeper understanding and self-awareness, overcome unhelpful and defeating patterns, and build self-esteem.

We often carry judgments about all of the different emotions that we experience, and it becomes a weight that takes a toll on us. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for you to get support so that the burden is not yours to carry alone. In addition to helping you find ways to cope with uncomfortable and distressing feelings, I want to help you understand and process what may contribute to why you experience them. I hope to help you feel more connected to your body and mind.

All humans seek happiness and answers to the most personal and vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions. As an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, I can help you find means of raising and answering these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection.

Life is challenging. Though we all come to therapy for different reasons, each of us is ultimately seeking relief from some form of distress. My approach to therapy is to develop a safe, nonjudgemental and trusting atmosphere where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will collaboratively explore how your lived experience informs and maintains expectations and attitudes - about yourself, others, and the world - and how these may be supporting or thwarting your current efforts to meet your needs in relationships, reach your professional goals, and realize your innermost desires.

The therapeutic space is one which asks people to approach difficult experiences, relationships, behaviors, emotions or parts of themselves, that for a multitude of reasons has been too painful or frightening to confront. My role is to partner with you in facing these difficulties, and provide a safe and empathic space in which exploration, increased insight and self awareness, make change possible. I address individual needs through integrating modalities such as CBT, DBT, skills/coping techniques, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am committed to working with clients towards the goals and growth they seek for themselves.

What type of Brooklyn mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
