Bisexual Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

I am a Queer-identified therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse Transgender, Queer, Lesbian, Bisexual , and Gay identified individuals. My style is warm, active, and authentic. Starting therapy is hard, so my priority in early sessions is for you to feel relaxed, understood, and comfortable. Your laughter and questions are welcomed. With a background in LGBTQ+ public health, I am sensitive to the challenges and stressors that come with living outside cisgender/hetero norms. I also value subjugated knowledge​ - the wisdom we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture.

Perhaps you are feeling stressed out from relationships, work, or other parts of your life. Or maybe you suffer from ongoing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. As your therapist, I will help you better understand and cope with life's difficulties, as well as move towards the changes you want. Above all, I will provide you with a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere to allow for meaningful learning and change. COVID-19 UPDATE: I am able to meet with you either in-person or remotely by video conference. I am taking new clients and have several days/time available.

As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I am interested in how relationships heal and transform individuals. I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual , transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.

I offer my clients a nonjudgmental space where they can explore their feelings, learn more about themselves, and continue to grow. Life can often be challenging, and I like to help others feel confident in their ability to get through those tough times. I have training in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy. Every person is unique, and I collaborate with each client to develop a plan that is tailored to them.

Do you struggle to know what you want? Is it hard to commit? In a time of so much uncertainty, it can be difficult to make decisions.  Maybe you feel blocked professionally or creatively. Or, like a lot of us, your struggles show up in your closest relationships. Maybe you’ve dealt with the weight of other people’s expectations and find it hard to listen to yourself or trust your own voice. Or maybe you worry you’ll be misunderstood. Sometimes you wish someone would just tell you what to do, but that leaves you feeling constrained and inauthentic. 

Dwellness is a diverse team of NY based clinicians who treat individuals and families across the lifespan via in-home and teletherapy practices.

Starting therapy is a leap of faith at a time when hope is scarce. It is an act of courage. I prioritize symptom relief and stabilization, but I believe that lasting change and growth stem from a deeper understanding of our histories, relationships, internal worlds, and motivations. I work best with people who are willing to take a risk and become curious about their own complexity. I believe social and political environments, genetic predispositions, and intergenerational histories all interact to manifest our challenges and gifts. Ideally, my clients would be open to uncovering the many unconscious forces at play in their lives.

Welcome! I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life-role transitions, as well as those seeking emotional support with medical diagnoses, loss, and trauma. I work with patients to uncover and address their core beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. Additionally, I provide effective therapeutic care to clients experiencing premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, those coping with with infertility and loss. I collaborate with patients to address cognitions and goals around the decision to have children, and relationships after becoming parents.

I will work collaboratively with you to analyze areas you feel need improvement, manage stress, clarify goals, and modify unwanted patterns in your life. I specialize in reducing anxiety, improving relationship dynamics, facilitating a deeper understanding of family issues, and assisting and supporting you through life transitions. I have a lot of experience with the LGBTQIA community, people in non-monogamous relationships, young adults and teens. Currently only offering virtual sessions.

First session is always free of charge. If you are feeling stuck you have come to the right place! With 15+ years experience as a therapist my solution-focused approach is aimed to help you heal what needs to be healed and learn what needs to be learned so that you are not merely surviving but thriving and loving life, and sooner than you might think! I provide individual and/or relationship counseling. My warm, affirming, and supportive approach is a union of holistic and integrative Eastern philosophies wed with contemporary Western solution-focused psychotherapy modalities.

We believe people are doing the best they can; you are the expert in your life, not us. Patterns are learned and can be unlearned. You possess the inner wisdom you need. Our job is to help you make the changes you desire. Even dysfunctional behaviors are there for a reason and/or are a response to previous events. Our goals are to help you better understand your feelings and thoughts, find ways of coping and help you feel more like your authentic self. Your intersectional identities of race, religion, class, immigration status, gender, sexuality, and ability all influence who you are and who you are in your intimate relationships.

Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships

As a therapist, I offer a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for clients to explore their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I help them slow down to gain a sharpened awareness of the present, supporting them to make meaning of the past, and open the possibility for healing and desired change in their future.

Using a holistic approach to therapy, I work with clients to enhance their emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. I am an active, yet non-judgemental, participant in sessions and assist individuals in accessing emotional freedom. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities I assist clients in untangling old stories and building a healthier frame of reference from which to live a fulfilled life with greater emotional health and wellness. When we become depressed and anxious we often lose track of what originally inspired us. Reconnecting to purpose can have a wonderful effect on our mental health.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Board Certified Music Therapist, and a Yoga Teacher. I am trained in Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialetical Behavior Therapy. I use multiple creative modalities to provide a positive experience for my clients including mindfulness, yoga, somatic techniques, movement, breath work, writing, and art. I provide non-judgmental care for adults and adolescents who are struggling with mood disorders, adjustment disorders, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience working with diverse ethnic populations using a trauma informed and racial equity lens.

Welcome! I am a Brooklyn-based psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples in New York City.
