Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

We all have the capacity to heal. With the right safety and support, we can come home to ourselves, allow difficult emotions to be released, and re-author old stories to create new meaning in our lives. I use experiential therapy to help you move through barriers so you can arrive into your body with compassion and connection. From this place, we can explore your relationship to self and others, come to understand patterns that create stuckness, and practice new skills so you can embody insights, change and self-belonging.

Since we were kids, everyone tells us, "be yourself!" If we can just do that, everything will work out alright. But what happens when that simple advice feels impossible? When anxiety, trauma, shame, or a major life change keeps us from fully knowing ourselves, let alone being able to show that to others?

As a practitioner I value my clients' current situation and offer brief psychotherapy as well as ongoing therapy with or without pharmacological treatments.

Something is wrong. That much is clear. You wake up each morning with a vague sense of unease. Between juggling a career, school, family, friends, and life, you have no time for yourself. And no matter how hard you work to always do the right thing, it still feels like it’s never enough. That inner voice won’t rest. “You’re worthless.” “You’re not good enough.” “Just give up.” And as much as you try to ignore the voice, a part of you can’t help but start to believe what it’s saying. You compare yourself to your peers and wonder how they seem to get by with such ease while you’re struggling. If only you knew why you felt this way.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-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, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

I work with trauma, grief, unhappy relationships, problematic behaviors, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness or those who want to make their life "better." I have a large "toolbox" of techniques and approaches that help to create an experience suited to you.
