EMDR Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

When people experience seasons of struggle, as we all undoubtedly do, sometimes therapy can be a valuable resource to help us find clarity, navigate uncertainty, lean into change and growth, or rediscover and restore what we once knew about ourselves. My philosophy in terms of treatment is one of partnership. I aspire to create a space, whether via video or in person, where you can feel safe to be vulnerably seen and heard, and my hope is that, at the end of our time together, you will feel empowered to live your life to the fullest, equipped with a diverse array of coping tools that you can confidently call your own.

Making the decision to start therapy can be both tough and uncomfortable, and, can lead to meaningful growth and change. Therapy can provide a very fulfilling and clarifying experience that can assist you in areas of your life where you may feel stuck, trapped and/or just wanting change. Working through these areas can unlock more joy,peace,ease,self-compassion and love.

Welcome! I am a Brooklyn-based psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples in New York City.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. I am a graduate of Wurzweiler School of Social Work and received post graduate training in EMDR , Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems, CBT, and Skills Training in Affect and Interpersonal Regulation. My areas of expertise are addictions (alcohol, drugs, sex, and codependency), sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting and marital issues. I utilize a variety of methodologies and techniques to best help client achieve their goals. Much of my work involves healing the inner child which enables the individual/couple to re parent themselves and become empowered.

What does happiness mean to you? Sometimes we forget how it feels to be happy. Therapy can help you to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviors and to achieve your full potential. I can help you tackle a specific or general problem such as a particular mental illness or a source of life stress in order to alleviate distress and to become happy.

Reaching out for help shows personal strength and the courage to change. A therapist who understands you can help guide you toward a feeling of inner resilience. I specialize in treating trauma, emotional suffering, and psychological stress. I provide care that meets your individual needs to empower you as you explore, process change, and learn to be present with what is.

You are seeking a therapist to act as a collaborator and partner in helping you live a happier life. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety and depression, your marriage is in trouble, or your relationships aren’t fulfilling. No matter the situation, I can work with you to build a better, more connected life. I am particularly passionate about working with those who are living with mental illnesses or have experienced trauma. I’m trained in multiple therapy modalities and can assist individuals who are struggling to manage their mental health as they learn new coping strategies and heal old traumas.

Are you seeking a life that feels more joyful, connected and in-control? With the right support, you can be happier, more deeply connected to yourself and other people, and gain control over extreme emotions or behaviors. In my practice, I encourage patients to investigate thought patterns, engage in mindful exercises and explore ways of knowing which access the unconscious. My approach is warm, open and practical and geared towards helping you deepen self-awareness and self-knowing. Whatever your personal goal is, we can work on it together.

My ideal client is anyone who is motivated to learn more about themselves and work towards creating positive, healthy, changes. I am licensed to practice in New York, Massachusetts and Florida. Currently only seeing clients via Telehealth.

I use evidence based treatments in my private practice. DBT helps individuals with emotion regulation, distress tolerance and effective communication with a blend of mindfulness. I am also a Certified Emotion Focused Therapy couples therapists. In my work with couples I help them to understand their cycle and how they can become more emotionally connected. I use EMDR for individuals with trauma to help process traumatic memories and begin to lead more productive lives. I use CBT and mind body therapy for women who are going through infertility and loss.

I'm an interactive and dynamic therapist striving to provide a compassionate space to explore your inner world. The goal is to develop insight while learning skills to effectively navigate challenges and reduce suffering. Utilizing a dialectical approach, (balancing both self-acceptance and desire to change), we journey together to build the life you want to live. Many of my clients have been through traumatic events and describe feeling stuck in cycles of self-destructive behaviors, thinking patterns, and relationships. Treatment is tailored to the individual client and what they want out of therapy.

Living with the aftermath of trauma can make daily life exhausting and overwhelming. Unpleasant symptoms can impact every area of your life, from taking care of seemingly small tasks to forming close relationships. If you are feeling stuck in the past, there is hope. I help adults and teens who have experienced trauma find ease and joy again. I have a particular passion for working with survivors of intimate trauma, however I work with all types of emotional wounds. Additionally, I work with phobias, OCD, and anxiety.

I am most well suited to help people working through life transitions, difficult relationships, trauma and anxiety. I also find I work particularly well with people drawn to visual imagery and other nonverbal experience. While verbal expression is essential, we all also carry internal images, physiological and emotional expressions that can stretch well beyond words. I find working efficiently with these nonverbal elements can generate deeper connections and expand therapeutic potentials in very effective ways. What kinds images come to mind when you think about your life experience? What kinds of sounds and smells?

Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body. I work using an intersectional feminist perspective with a focus on trauma, gender, sexuality, life transitions, feeling stuck, coming out later in life, being a late bloomer, immigration experiences, and navigating neurodivergence. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+, TGNC/NB and queer identified communities.

I believe in the healing and expanding possibilities of psychotherapy. Exploring and sharing your experiences, thoughts and feelings with an empathic therapist can be a deeply satisfying human experience--and one that is a much needed counterpart to our cultural climate. Do you wish to better understand yourself and your relationships? To improve your work life? To better cope with anxiety, depression, or other psychological difficulties? To increase your repertoire of behaviors, to become more flexible, creative, and spontaneous? If so, please contact me and let's begin our journey of understanding and growth.

It's completely understandable that seeking help from a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming.
