We work with kids experiencing anxiety and depression, relationship and family system issues, substance use/addiction, self-harming behavior, dangerous or destructive behavior, and more.
Therapy can look and feel very different with each provider. You or your child may have seen therapists in the past who were not able to make a meaningful connection. Or maybe your child has never seen a therapist. At Brooklyn Child Therapy, we work to first build a strong, trusting, empathetic relationship. BCT's goal is to support you and your child by providing a safe space to explore emotions and life experiences, and to practice useful thinking and behavioral strategies. Neurodivergence is welcome and celebrated.

My approach is eclectic, drawing from Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma-Focused, Internal Family Systems and Family Systems theories.
I specialize in helping people explore their problem from a number of angles: assess the current bio-psycho-social situation, explore the past in order to understand behavioral patterns established or trauma/pain suffered, look closely at thoughts, and finally come up with some practical solutions toward acceptance or change.

Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Studies favor it because it yields results, measurable and faster than other forms of therapy. CBT is straight forward. Techniques for relaxation, alleviation of fears, coping, decision making, communication, parenting and relationship issues are direct and collaborative. That means we find what works for you.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals along all points of the journey, from the planning stages of beginning a family to supporting parents in the early years of their children’s’ lives.
With specialized training in perinatal mental health, trauma, infant mental health, and early childhood development, and a deep theoretical understanding of parent-child relationships, I can provide a unique level of support for those having or anticipating struggling during the adjustment period to creating a family.

The techniques used are often simple, ranging from somatic work, kundalini Yoga to psychodrama, internal family systems, and bioenergetics.
Do you want results? Are you finding that you keep getting in your own way? That your emotions, trauma, pain, old stories and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? Or maybe nothing is clicking for you, no matter how are hard you try. The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or subtle perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.

With children, we offer testing and address issues involving the whole family.
I offer a safe, comfortable place to bring your hopes, fears, pain, confusion and excitement; where your thoughts and feelings will be respected and heard and your strengths acknowledged and utilized.
Together, we will work to understand and transform the areas of suffering and/or concern. I am not afraid to go to where you need to travel.
I work with trauma, grief, unhappy relationships, problematic behaviors, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness or those who want to make their life "better."
I have a large "toolbox" of techniques and approaches that help to create an experience suited to you.

I take an attachment-based approach with individuals and couples, integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy.
I work with women and couples who feel stuck—whether in their relationships, careers, or sense of self. Maybe you’ve tried CBT or other structured approaches, and while they helped short-term, you found yourself facing the same struggles again. My work is attachment-based and emotionally focused—we’ll explore how past experiences shape your relationships and sense of self, and how to move toward more fulfilling patterns. Whether you’re rebuilding trust in a relationship or deepening your connection with yourself, therapy offers a space to slow down, gain insight, and create meaningful change.
