Obesity Therapists in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY

My practice is informed by my firm conviction in the possibility of change, founded in extensive personal & professional experience. I employ an eclectic approach in therapy, with a primary focus on interpersonal, psychodynamic treatment. I have successfully worked with people struggling with many of life's central challenges: identity, relationships, depression, & self-defeating or self-destructive behaviors. I have particular expertise in working with people affected by alcoholism/addiction: not only those who have substance abuse problems, but also the partners or adult children of alcoholics/addicts & people in long-term recovery.

I am particularly interested in disrupting maladaptive family cycles and patterns and understand that breaking free of these cycles — rooted in everything from trauma and systemic oppression to the demands of navigating the modern world and family dynamics — is both deeply inspiring and also feasible. Bearing witness to this transformative change in my client’s lives is one of my greatest honors.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

I am a bi-racial, bi-cultural psychotherapist who has extensive experience working with multiple marginalized states of otherness, including pansexual and gender non-conforming identities. I work psychodynamically, but more specifically from a trauma-based, attachment/ object relations modality. Within my training, I also integrate anti-racist, critical and feminist theories, as well as behavioral strategies. I am heavily invested in the current socio/political paradigm and social media, largely because I see how the internet can serve to amplify avoidance strategies and create psychological ill health.

I'm a proud queer/pan/poly human, and I absolutely love being a therapist. As a straight-passing queer person, I have a lived understanding of what it’s like to have multiple marginalized identities that are misread both in and outside my communities. As a single parent who was raised in a very religious environment, I have done a lot of my own introspection and exploration to become the sex positive and body positive person I am today. I am a compassionate, non-judgmental, and empowerment-focused therapist. I aim to support you in living freely and authentically, as you thrive in your relationships with yourself and others.

It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

My ideal client is the individual who can acknowledge that they need help and is willing to challenge themselves. I am not a magician; I am just a therapist who is willing to go as far as you can.

If we are unable to assist you, we will not hesitate to make a necessary referral. Either way, we strive to be judgment-free.

This endless cycle of of negative thinking errors often lead to self sabotage and self hatred.
