Addiction Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships.
In addition to use of evidence-based treatment modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I place a great deal of importance on the therapeutic relationship itself as a source of trust, collaboration, and commitment.

Outside of my private practice, my experience has been in hospitals, schools and addiction/recovery related outpatient settings.
The experience of finding a qualified therapist who feels like a good match can be exhausting. There are far too many options and the idea of telling a stranger anything about yourself is daunting. If you are reading this, you may be feeling stuck (or on the edge of becoming unhinged) and you are worried. My job is fourfold: to listen to your issues, recognize maladaptive patterns or behaviors, help to connect your emotions to your actions, and teach coping skills that nurture an overall sense of competency and contentment.

Meet Our Addiction Therapists

I specialize in working with substance misuse from a harm reduction perspective that is collaborative, non-judgmental and practical.
Are you looking for ways to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and more self-compassion? Too often, we struggle to meet multiple demands which leaves little time to focus on self-care. And, trying manage the role of parent or caregiver can impact our sense of self and capacity to manage our reactions effectively. We're left feeling anxious, depressed, and isolated. We may turn to substances or behaviors that are ultimately unhelpful but do bring some relief. Together, we'll collaborate to build awareness of patterns you want to change and expand your capacity to meet difficult experiences.

I am also specialized in addiction using a harm reduction model with the understanding that everyone has different degrees of readiness for change.
The decision to begin therapy is often difficult, however, it usually comes at a time when you are ready to make significant changes in your life and confront barriers that are holding back your personal growth. I strive to create a warm, supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which you can gain insight into yourself and your relationships.

I work with individuals, couples and families confronting issues of depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, loss, parenting issues, aging, trauma and alcohol/ substance use.
Life experiences can bring pain and conflict resulting in depression, anxiety and coping with substances. I frequently hear the expression of loneliness, emptiness and feeling unfulfilled in people's lives and the sadness, disappointment and anger over relationships with themselves, partners, family and friends that fail to satisfy those needs. Experience has taught me that feeling heard and understood generates a sense of hope and stimulates movement toward insight through exploration and examination of one's inner life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the framework and space for this work, leading to corrective emotional experiences and a more satisfying life and relationships.
