Life is unpredictable. You take one step forward and it pushes you two steps backwards. You jump up and gravity pulls you down. But rather than stepping in opposition of the forces of life, why not step in sync with it? Learn to dance and move to the rhythm of life. My clients learn to become mentally flexible so that they can maintain their peace as they dip, swing and dance to whatever beat life throws their way.

Whether you find yourself in a place of emotional distress, stuckness, or relationship confusion, I'm here to compassionately witness your journey and offer up a mirror to you and your experiences. I also specialize in highly sensitive people (HSPs). Being highly sensitive is not a disorder, but a form of sensory processing sensitivity - and could also come with skills and gifts to be honed. However, HSPs in particular can sometimes find relationships, work, and other areas of life to be confusing and disorienting experiences.

I am a seasoned clinician based in Brooklyn with a background in relational, attachment based psychotherapy. A psychodynamic approach will help us identify what's under the surface to tackle old habits, default behaviors, cognitive distortions that can cause symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma can be debilitating until you learn strategies to weaken its hold. Therapy is a partnership to strengthen your sense of self, create sustainable skills to cope with stressors, feel effective in meeting your own needs. I utilize a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, adapted specifically for you including CBT and EMDR.

Healing isn’t linear, but it can transpire within the right environment. That’s why having a collaborative space to feel safe, supported, and curious is so important in the therapeutic process. I am dedicated to helping create this space with the strengths of my clients and through the application of an integrative approach. My orientation is person-centered which promotes unconditional support, empathic understanding, and genuineness. It’s also shaped by facets of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness, wherein an individual balances and accept the opposites in their life, while being present in the moment.

Depression and anxiety are some of the most debilitating conditions that a person can face. Caught in their grips we may feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. We may start to think that we are broken or that something is wrong with us. Not realizing that such conditions are far more common than we think. What makes it even more difficult is having nobody to speak to about our experience. You’ve dealt with this alone for long enough; let me show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine the dark cloud of depression lifting from your mind. See your anxiety melting away like ice in the sun.

We live in a world where private struggles are often spotlighted and used as the subject of public debate; it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a safe space to work through problems and struggles. After co-creating together, what safe space looks like for you, we can begin to address whatever difficulties, struggles, and presenting concerns you may have.

Adults and families that partner with me are seeking guidance, compassion, goals that lead (not frustrate), a future plan and a "toolbox" that supports your transformation. You can see the specializations in my intro, and you may know acronyms like CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT, REBT, ACT and these are foundations for the process of understanding emotions, behavior, patterns, the life you have lived and where you wish to take it. Mind/body work is another arm of gaining confidence and reaching goals. Our work will yield a pattern of new reactions and behaviors and the future you make.

Cigna and Evernorth Therapists
Cigna and its healthcare division Evernorth provide behavioral health coverage though managed care plans and Medicare Advantage plans. Outside the U.S., Cigna provides insurance through Cigna Global Health Benefits.

Occasionally Cigna or Evernorth Therapists in Brooklyn will only accept a limited number of in-network insurance patients in their practice, so it's important to check if your plan is accepted when you book a consultation.
Based in Connecticut, Cigna insures 180 million people in more than 30 countries around the world. Cigna rebraded its health services division as Evernorth in September 2021.
