Codependency Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
Most of the clients I see have a history of trauma—physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or developmental trauma, which is the residue of dysfunctional caregiving. I believe strongly that people are naturally inclined to heal; our bodies and minds lean toward wholeness, even if it often feels like we can’t get there. While we go on with our day-to-day lives, acting as though everything is okay, the parts of us that were hurt—most often young parts—are still waiting and hoping for some kind of resolution to their pain. In therapy we look for those parts and take care of them; we nurture them and help them heal.

I am here to support you in better understanding how you experience joy and process suffering. If you feel stuck, isolated, or constantly in your head, there are ways to work towards being more present and shedding old patterns. Our journey together can help you heal old wounds and find safety in your relationship with self and others. My focus includes working with clients who have undergone major life transitions including trauma, leaving home, loss of community, and moving through different life stages. I light up working with young people transitioning to adulthood, new/expecting parents, and 1st/2nd gen immigrants.

My work engages people of all backgrounds, but with a particular emphasis on LGBTQ clients. I see clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health concerns, as well as life transitions or stressful moments who need support while they move through adjustment issues or simply "feeling stuck".

My practice is dedicated to creating a safe environment in which clients feel understood, respected and challenged. This allows us to dig deeper into what isn’t feeling right inside and to uncover greater capacity to deepen your connection to yourself and others.

It feels like you and your partner are caught up in a negative spiral - repeating the same arguments, misunderstandings, and patterns that leave you feeling hurt, frustrated, and disconnected. You want to improve how you are with each other, to feel closer and more supported, but it may seem just out of reach. It may be that your relationship is weighed down by unresolved hurts or the stress of life changes, and you are struggling to find your way back to the deep connection you both desire. Building a stronger partnership starts with taking charge of your life and seeking help to break the cycle.

Vulnerability allows for a transformative experience. Nothing you bring to the session is "too much" or “too little”, I will always celebrate your honesty with genuine empathy and curiosity.
