Psychodynamic Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others have a more vague sense that something in their lives is wrong. Both motivations can be an incredible opportunity to learn more about oneself and figure out how to build a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with clients who may experience anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. I also assist clients in identifying and breaking outside of societal norms to figure out their true personal and interpersonal needs. With couples, I use a variety of methods to help build stronger relationships.

Together, we can figure out why you do the things you do, what you are feeling and why, and close the gaps between the blank spots in understanding, feeling, and doing so that you can inhabit your life and your self more fully. My aim is to help you feel free enough to express all that is inside without judgment, inattention, or finality, so that you can experience yourself and your feelings, including joy, pain, and everything in between, with equanimity, curiosity, and increased aliveness.

For many people, psychotherapy can be a powerful instrument for growth. I create a safe, collaborative, trusting environment for you to explore and clarify how to make lasting, positive change in your life. It is my belief that therapy must be tailored to each person's unique needs, and I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual.

Stress, sadness, grief, disappointment and self-doubt: as humans we all face these painful experiences. But when the feelings become too big to manage, disruptive to relationships and daily life, you don’t have to struggle with them on your own. Maybe you’ve tried to ignore or suppress uncomfortable thoughts, but that can actually make things worse, leading to anxiety and depression. I aim to help clients build the capacity to explore, tolerate and navigate distress, and to learn to move through difficult moments with more ease. We can’t make negative emotions disappear, but we can work together to lessen their impact on your life.

I work with children, adolescents and adults who may be facing stressful circumstances, life transitions or conflicted relationships.

No one seeks therapy because they feel their life is going well. However, seeking therapy is a sign that things are actually going right!

You can achieve acess to parts of yourself that can make you feel alive and in love with life. I am excited to help you do that.

You are you, and nobody understands this as deeply as you. I approach our work from a humanistic, person-centered foundation that helps guide your innate strengths to discover, or re-discover, your authentic self.
