Out of Network Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

The hardest part of therapy is starting therapy. I practice from the belief that no matter how stuck or broken you may feel, growth and healing are always possible. Using a supportive and collaborative therapeutic approach that stresses mindfulness and your resilience, I aim to foster insight into the developmental origins of your struggles, and highlight patterns of feeling, thoughts, and behavior. Therapy is an opportunity to gain insight into your more vulnerable parts of self, expand your perspective, heal and ultimately move towards self-acceptance and a more fulfilling life.

Drawing from my background in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and dance/movement therapy, I use an eclectic approach tailored to your individual needs to help you overcome obstacles to leading a richer, more satisfying, and more meaningful life. Some of the things I can help you with are: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family stressors, managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, self-esteem, life transitions, artist's issues and creative blocks, panic attacks, trauma, and life changes.

I specialize in working with people who want to improve their relationships, whether that be with others or themselves. I can help you understand your feelings and find tools to make more fulfilling choices in life, whether that be with your work, friends or love. I also work with couples who are having challenges breaking negative patterns that keep them from growing as a couple and who want to have a more loving, trusting relationship. I am currently out-of-network with Aetna and Cigna.

Working together I can help in overcoming personal struggles caused by painful experiences, unhealthy relationships and poor self esteem. Learning to see ourselves through a healthy perspective instead of our criticisms and insecurities can help in creating a healthier approach to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying a fulfilling life.

Therapy can be a life changing experience and truly a rewarding investment in your life. Our sessions will assist in sorting out old blockages to offer reflection, awareness, and lasting change toward your personal goals. We also have the added advantage to be creative in our sessions as I am a licensed and board-certified art therapist.

I specialize in using CBT and solution-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, & gender and identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic and self-limiting patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe & regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, & learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation & grounding.

Problems with relationships and intimacy, work, finding a career, parenting, depression or anxiety are some of the reasons people seek therapy. With 30 years of experience, I actively engage clients to address these and other issues to relieve stress and develop new coping strategies. I am warm, lively and interactive, with a good sense of humor. I foster a safe, caring environment for a strong therapeutic relationship to develop, so as to provide for lasting positive growth. We work to identify your strengths, using them to discover, set and reach your goals, and maximize your potential.

If you are reading this, give yourself a pat on the back. It can be hard for some people to make the decision to look for a therapist and coming to this website is one of the initial steps! I view therapy as a collaborative process that is grounded in a trusting alliance between therapist and client. Therapy is a space for you to explore self-discovery, open yourself to increased self-awareness, shift troublesome thought patterns, tap into your intuition, and deepen self-acceptance. Therapy can also lead to a better understanding of your relationships with others, how you relate and what you need in your relationships.

My approach to therapy is guided by the firm belief that the strength of the therapist-client relationship is the most important element of successful treatment. I see productive and rewarding work as emanating from a dynamic collaboration between myself and my clients. My goal is to help every client live a life that is more fulfilling. I am warm and direct and I provide a safe and supportive environment, helping clients to access their strengths, express a wide range of thoughts and feelings, and continually move toward greater self-discovery.

I provide a warm and safe space for you to develop your unique strengths, and to work on those behaviors and beliefs you want to change. I utilize a combination of Somatic, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, DBT, EMDR, and Addiction Recovery therapies to help you change habits and develop a more positive and fulfilling relationship, with yourself and others.

Do you notice patterns of behavior that you’d like to explore further? Feel dissatisfied with the way things are currently in your life? By drawing from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral (ie. CBT and ACT), and psychodynamic modalities, I empower clients to gain insight, define goals, and develop skills/tools to live meaningful lives consistent with their values. I see psychotherapy as an interactive process that can promote insight, create positive change, and foster growth. I also bring this perspective into my work with couples and families. I can provide couples/ family psychotherapy as well as discernment counseling.
