EmblemHealth Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
As an experienced therapist I believe that everyone owes to him/herself to live a satisfying life. If you do not like the place you are in today - do something not to be there. As Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". Choosing therapy is definitely the right move for you. It is not a sign of weakness but rather of your determination. Whatever problem you are facing today: anxiety, depression, disturbing relationship, or work related stress - I am here to help you facilitate changes that will allow you to reach your goals.

My ideal client is someone who has been carrying a lot on their own and feels overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a transition. They may look “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected or unsure on the inside. They want a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of their thoughts and emotions, understand their patterns, and feel more grounded. Their goal is to find clarity, balance, and a version of life that actually feels like theirs.

You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overthinking, or self-criticism, or weighed down by depression, trauma, or OCD. Maybe relationships feel hard, or you’re going through a life transition and questioning what you want next. You’re insightful but tired of repeating the same patterns. You want relief, but also deeper understanding of yourself—why you feel the way you do and how to move forward with more clarity, self-compassion, and intention.

You may feel on edge, shut down, emotionally reactive, or simply exhausted—sometimes even after trying therapy before. Anxiety can keep your nervous system on high alert, depression may dull your energy or sense of connection, and past experiences can linger in the body as tension, overwhelm, or emotional swings. Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, something may feel off. You’re not broken—your system is responding to what it has lived through. Integrative Therapy can help you or your child feel more grounded, steady, and at ease again.

As a neurodivergent Black woman, I understand what it’s like to live with a brain that moves fast and feels deeply. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by racing thoughts, pressure to meet expectations, or frustration when typical advice doesn’t work for their neurodivergent minds. I specialize in supporting a neurodivergent population navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem. Together we uncover patterns, create strategies that actually fit your life, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

You might be reading this because you feel like you’re only sharing the parts of yourself that make people feel comfortable, or you’re missing the playful, creative parts of yourself in your day to day life and relationships. Maybe somewhere along your journey you learned to conform your uniqueness or dismiss your feelings in order to belong. You stay silent in meetings, constantly judge yourself, and go with the flow even when it means betraying your own needs. All of this overthinking takes up energy and, worse, can leave you feeling small, alone, anxious, and like you're always hiding something. You deserve to feel fully seen.

With over 20 years of experience, I offer both traditional talk psychotherapy and art psychotherapy to help you find your emotional voice whether it be about a current situation that is causing you distress or something from your past or future. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) which is an evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses on healing by understanding and compassionately relating to ourselves, rather than just suppressing symptoms. By engaging your own compassion and clarity, IFS allows healing for the wounded "exiled” parts of us, which reduces the need for extreme protective behaviors.

Starting therapy can feel like both a courageous step and a vulnerable one. Each of us carries experiences, relationships, and challenges that shape the way we see ourselves and the world. I believe therapy is a place where those stories can be honored with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
