If you’re here you might be feeling stuck, unseen, or carrying more than you know how to hold - I am here for you.

Searching for the right therapist is sort of like dating. In order to find the right fit, you may need to search around in order to get a feel for who is out there. I believe the power of therapy evolves from a non-judgmental space where people can finally experience, not only feeling seen and heard, but eventually, accepted and understood. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of New York City. I earned a BA in Psychology and Criminal Justice from the University of Michigan and a Masters of Social Work from New York University and hold a specialization in Trauma Studies from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy.

I have found my clinical approach to be blended from Gestalt, person in environment approach, and trauma informed lens. Throughout treatment, I also utilize a variety of CBT and DBT interventions when skills training is in order and my style can be described as motivational but compassionate. My past clients know me well to be able to match their pace, using various analogies and references from books I am reading and humor to get to know them.

Let's face it, life can be difficult. Sometimes emotions and circumstances feel overwhelming. Therapy offers a way to untangle your feelings and behaviors, offering the relief and distance needed to make sense of whatever is the matter, and process getting out from under it. As a therapist, I am active and engaged. We will collaborate to explore what's most distressing, and how best to resolve what is in your way, (whether emotional, relational, historical, professional), to make meaningful, lasting changes that will allow you to feel invigorated and motivated to have the life you want and deserve.

I love working with folks of color who have a general curiosity about their internal dialogue & have an interest in making tiny but impactful adjustments to improve how we feel about & navigate the world. It's important in my work to celebrate points of success and begin dancing instead of wrestling with our sadness or frustration. Those little nagging internal messages that fill us with doubt, imposter syndrome, and need to feel calm but having uncertainty about where to start are my focus when working together! I also conduct Immigration Evaluations for: Adam Walsh, VAWA, Hardship Waiver, U Visa, T Visa, & Asylum cases.

At Brooklyn Somatic Therapy, we integrate a mindfulness-based, experiential and somatic approach to psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy is a co-created experience between therapist and client. For over 20 years I have had the honor of working with people who feel stuck in their lives, whether it be their jobs, their relationships, or perhaps in some part of their identity. By bringing non-judgmental curiosity to our work together, it is my goal to create a safe and welcoming space within which to explore the patterns of behavior that may not be serving their purpose anymore. I enjoy working with teens and adults, providing them with support to be their most authentic, genuine selves. I'm licensed in NY, CT, MA, VT and ME.
