Family Therapy in Brooklyn, NY
I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relational conflict, complex family dynamics and identity development and have particular expertise working with trauma, disrupted attachment and forensic issues.
In our work together, we will explore the impact of early experiences, and reflect on how they have shaped your view of the world, contributed to patterns in relationships, and most importantly, impacted your relationship with yourself. We will also look at the impact of larger systems while strengthening your sense of agency in order to work toward change.

Life is not random. Sometimes we have this intuition in the midst of difficult situations but are not sure what to do with it. Turning points are usually waiting for us when we get inside the themes brought on by the difficulty. I work collaboratively on finding those points of insight, putting them into workable terms, and taking actionable steps with you. In practice, this happens via a combination of approaches I have found useful and effective. Including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Object Relations theory, and other models. I have several years of post-graduate institute training and experience.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience in diverse settings working with patients from various countries and cultures struggling with depression, anxiety, substances, trauma, and relationship issues. My non-judgmental approach is centered around each patient's particular needs, starting with feeling safe. The search for the right therapist can be a challenging process, or it can go relatively smoothly. It can sometimes be helpful to schedule a trial session with more than one person to see how it feels to talk about your private life with different professionals. Call me and let's discuss candidly what you want and need.

I am particularly attuned to the ways in which parenting styles impact upon the functioning of children and to the most efficient ways of creating change to promote the likeliness of a person's or family's success and happiness.
In addition to helping clients improve their family dynamics or individual blocks to fulfillment, I am experienced in helping people eliminate self-harming behaviors which impede their progress. Cooperating together, individuals and I work together to navigate the route around their difficulties to help them lead more productive and satisfying lives.

I draw from experience in various therapeutic approaches including Neuro Affective Relational Model therapy (NARM), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Hakomi.
When we don't feel our best, it is a challenge to fully engage with life and unleash our true potential.

Through compassionate, supported inquiry, we can dismantle the blocks that keep us from our most deeply held desires. I am here to assist in that process. Through a holistic approach that honors the mind, body and spirit, I am dedicated to helping you move forward.

People usually come to therapy seeking relief from problems that have become intrusive, limiting or painful. Through talking in session, you will start to become aware of thoughts and feelings you didn't know you had, of desires hovering below consciousness. My job is to help you connect to your inner experience, and to provide an atmosphere of tolerance and curiosity where we explore it together. The process itself generates insight and emotional awareness. From there we work to transform what you're learning about yourself into positive change and self-assertion.
