Domestic Abuse Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I have extensive background in working with individuals with relationship issues; online dating stress; employment problems; depression and anxiety; low self-esteem; communication difficulties; trauma; bereavement; life transitions; domestic abuse; childhood history of sexual abuse and/or incest; menopause, aging-related issues ; and caregiver stress.
I strive to make my clients feel safe, comfortable, heard, and understood from our first session. I believe the connection between therapist and client is essential to emotional growth and change and to establishing a relationship with trust, warmth, honesty, and mutual respect. I help my clients to use their strengths to solve here- and- now problems. I also help to address more entrenched issues that are negatively affecting the ability to feel happy and to reach goals. My style is holistic, practical, interactive and down-to-earth, and I focus on emphasizing the positive towards reaching goals.

I specialize in working with those who have been impacted by intimate partner/gender-based violence, family trauma, difficult life-transitions, intergenerational trauma, and relational difficulties.
My approach is relational: we work collaboratively to explore, grow spaciousness, & create balance; trauma-informed: past experiences are embedded in our bodies' responses (i.e. exhaustion, restlessness, difficulty breathing, etc.) & we go at the pace the body sets; client-centered: the client's pace and where we go remains at the center and guides our work.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.

In environments of generational trauma, violence, and oppression, however, these needs often go unfulfilled—whether or not our caregivers are making their best efforts—and we can move through life feeling a void: disconnected, abandoned, misunderstood, never loved quite right or quite well enough, ashamed for needing care and connection.
Using somatic, relational, experiential, and behavioral approaches, I help clients move past intellectualization, deepen their understandings of themselves, expand their toolbox of life skills, and caringly reparent themselves. I aim to support clients in forming secure relationships with self—and, ensuing from there, with others and the world.

Change, growth, and healing are possible for everyone. Using a warm, interactive approach we'll listen to your feelings and thoughts to discover what you need and want in order to feel more alive, fulfilled, and freer to know yourself, be yourself, and express yourself. We'll find the practical strategies and the deeper understanding that will help you to shift patterns of behavior and thought, and sort out relationships. Even when conflict and confusion, sadness, anger, fragmentation, loneliness, fear, stuckness (or any other feeling) seems ever-present, we can heal and change.

I like to begin by creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable as you embark on this journey to address things in your life, relationships and from your past that have you feeling “stuck”.

My core value of treating others with empathy and compassion is the absolute crux of my approach to care. My biggest motivator in becoming a counselor has been experiencing my own major life obstacles and trauma, which motivated me to want to help others who may be suffering, and who struggle with direction and/or tools to help them cope and progress on their own. I believe that my empathy is one of my biggest assets as I truly understand what it feels like, in addition to my education and over 9 years of experience providing psychotherapy services for varying ages, disorders, cultures, sexual orientations etc.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
