Therapists in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Sometimes you feel stuck, overwhelmed, consumed with struggles. Other times, you need extra support and the space to be heard. Therapy is a place where you can gain curiosity and skills, make meaning and ultimately feel relief. In my practice, I collaborate with patients to create a space where you are respected, listened to and encouraged. Our work will allow you to gain insight and increase motivation towards living a happier and more fulfilling life. I tailor each treatment to fit individual needs and work together towards positive change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the commitments you have in your life? Trying to balance it all while ensuring you consider yourself too? Having difficulty maneuvering these uncertain waters called life? I would like to help by discussing your goals, where you stand, and most importantly, where you would like to be. It is okay to be struggling, but I would like to help you with this heavy load by giving you a safe and supportive space to discuss it all and examine your life in unique ways that you have never considered before.

Navigating the world can be tough when you consistently try to please others,  have difficulty making decisions, or fear speaking your mind. I work with individuals who are  often marginalized, and exhausted by their unhealthy relationships  with self and others. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to our old ways. I know all too well how difficult it is to feel overwhelmed or trapped by your circumstances. Together we'll push back on negative self talk, poor boundaries, self sabotage, and other unhelpful patterns that may be limiting life choices.

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative professional struggling with your mental health? Being consistently vulnerable in your work, while staying tough enough to withstand ongoing rejection, can take a toll on your mental health. Your mental health can also make it difficult to withstand these career ups and downs. You don't have to be miserable to be an artist though! Entering therapy can drastically reduce emotional fatigue from work, and also free up space for more creativity. As a former performer myself, I understand first hand how difficult this mental health/work life balance can be.

While I have extensive experience treating adults and adolescents of all ages, many patients I see in my practice are in their 20’s-40's. Often they have experienced significant trauma in their lives that has resulted in intense feelings of depression and anxiety. There often is disruption and disappointment in relationships. This work can be challenging in ways we cannot always predict, so it is important that the therapist and patient together create a safe space that supports increasing awareness.
