Are you feeling stuck or unsatisfied in your relationships? Do you feel like you have a hard time connecting with the people in your life? Maybe you feel overwhelmed or like you’re just going through the motions to get by? Or perhaps you want to feel more alive and energized but are afraid of being rejected or abandoned? The capacity for emotional growth and transformation lies within each of us and I believe this begins with the healing power of authentic human relationships. It is only when we feel safe that we can begin to transform our pain.

Anxiety, Stress, Depression. You are not alone. These are trying times and you need support. Together, we will examine unmanageable thoughts, feelings and barriers to contentment. Using practical, strengths-based and insight-oriented therapies, you will develop better mood, coping skills, life skills, and stress management. I also offer Mindfulness strategies and holistic approaches to wellness. Together, we will set attainable goals that free you from old patterns, allowing for personal growth and meaningful change. Individual, partner and group therapies are offered.

My ideal client is someone who desires to improve the quality of their life. Someone who feels stuck in certain behavior patters or thought patterns and wants to live their full life with joy and contentment. Clients who want to wake up each day with confidence and the tolerance level to manage their thought and feeling and making choices that expand their life and capacity to be in it.

It is my belief that therapy is a way to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves. There are many specific goals of therapy, but the work leads us towards living a more vital and authentic life. Sometimes we feel stuck and stagnant and don’t know how to get “un-stuck”. Sometimes we need help dealing with all of the pressures that we face in life, with conflicts in interpersonal relationships. Sometimes we need a hand. Together, you and I will use techniques which will help you to deepen self-awareness and give you the power to heal yourself.

I am a family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I provide supervision and training as well as therapy, and am a senior faculty member at the Minuchin Center for the Family. I work with individuals and families experiencing the range of issues that bring people into therapy: depression, divorce, substance abuse, behavior problems, relationship issues, adolescent issues, etc. I work with children, adolescents, and adults; and see individuals, couples, and families. But, as a family therapist, I am always concerned with the many ways in which our families and our significant relationships impact on our lives.

Sometimes it's difficult to know the full extent of the way our trauma and life experiences have impacted us. We find ourselves repeating certain patterns that we know are not good for us and can't seem to break the chain, we constantly fall into moods and feelings that it's difficult to pull ourselves out of. In deciding to do therapy with me, together we learn how to identify the ways in which your past trauma and life experiences show up in your adult life and begin rewriting your narrative for your future.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe, judgment-free space where you come as you are and take the lead on your healing journey. My commitment is to be by your side, validate your experiences, welcome vulnerability, and lead with empathy. My approach prioritizes mindfulness, building a therapeutic alliance, being trauma-informed, and collaborating on an integrative practice that best fits your needs. Your psychological, emotional, and social well-being has a direct impact on every aspect of your life. Let's connect so I can support you in building positive mental health practices.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Engaging in therapy can be a step towards increasing self-awareness, building self-esteem, finding deeper meaning and tapping into joy. Together we will focus on your individual strengths and personal goals to develop the tools necessary to process past traumas, overcome adversity, manage anxiety and navigate relationship challenges and transitions.

Have you recently had a baby or is your due date right around the corner? The excitement is probably starting to wear off and the exhaustion and fears are setting in. This period of your life is full of overwhelming changes. Just getting out of the house with a newborn may feel like a challenge. I am a licensed clinical social worker that focuses on providing supportive, nonjudgmental therapy in a comfortable environment for new parents. This can be a scary time for everyone and it is important to remember that you do not have to go through it alone.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I provide individual therapy to children, teens, adolescents and adults.

Accepting new clients via telehealth! Struggling with your mental health can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether it be depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, or other mental health issues, I am here to help you understand where your issues have stemmed from, work on healing them, and learn new ways to cope and interact with your world.

I am here to help clients that are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, eating disorders, trauma, and grief. I offer a safe space to transform difficult feelings and separate you from the daily stress and anxiety. Through psychotherapy and art making my clients have felt less anxious, more confident, and calmer. My sessions are geared to each individual’s needs, as a way to transform problems into creative solutions and meet goals. My work in hospitals, clinics, schools and private practice as well as work with college students, artists, children, and adults makes my ability to assist your needs my priority.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I help people identify and eliminate beliefs and perspectives that prevent them from living with love, confidence, and enthusiasm. Anxiety is reduced by identifying causes and applying mindful, body-present skills. Depression is lifted through expression and removing draining blocks that prevent action. Relationships are improved by focusing on communication and eliminating blame, resentment, and individual defenses that block deep intimacy. The more we know about ourselves, the more we're able to let go of old patterns and make decisions that lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

In my role as a counselor, my primary focus is understanding and addressing the unique needs of each client. I am committed to creating a safe and empathetic space where individuals can openly express their thoughts and emotions. Together, we can collaboratively explore challenges and discover effective coping strategies. Through compassionate counseling, I will provide mental health support to children, adolescents, and the adult population, while we work together to lay a foundation for a healthier lifestyle.

With curiosity and compassion I aim to offer individuals not merely a physical space to sort through concerns; but the opportunity to create space in the thought process for insight to occur. Through reflection on relationships, and the collaborative examination of formative experiences, we will drive toward the identification and adoption of alternative perspectives. This is a reliable path to healing and meaningful, lasting change. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation to determine if I would be a "good fit" to aid you in addressing concerns.

Therapy can look and feel very different with each provider. You or your child may have seen therapists in the past who were not able to make a meaningful connection. Or maybe your child has never seen a therapist. At Brooklyn Child Therapy, we work to first build a strong, trusting, empathetic relationship. BCT's goal is to support you and your child by providing a safe space to explore emotions and life experiences, and to practice useful thinking and behavioral strategies. Neurodivergence is welcome and celebrated.
