Family Therapy in Brooklyn, NY
Are you feeling stuck, caught in a difficulty in which you can't seem to resolve? Does the same situation repeat over and over in different forms? Life is hard and sometimes we need to help of another person, a nonjudgmental listener, to move forward. Whatever problems you face, relationship difficulties, struggles to balance career and personal life, anxiety, grief or health issues, a therapist can serve as your guide. Through the therapeutic process you may also explore your personal history as it relates to current difficulties and, in the process, discover new ways of coping.

I worked for over 10 years supporting individuals and families in a home visitation program where I developed my passion for counseling.
Does it feel like everyone else is "getting" parenthood while you are just barely hanging on? Maybe you are struggling with postpartum anxiety that keeps your mind racing, or postpartum depression that makes it hard to even get out of bed. Perhaps the stress of a new baby is pulling you and your partner apart, leaving you feeling lonely and exhausted. If you are grieving a miscarriage or facing the long, hard road of infertility, you might feel like you’re drowning in emotions that no one else understands.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who struggle connecting with themselves or each other. Many of my clients have difficulty navigating life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, harsh self-criticisms, fears of failure or losing control, or feeling empty or broken inside. You might be great at intellectualizing, have wonderful insights about yourself, but still feel stuck or powerless in making change. You might struggle to connect with your feelings and needs, walking through life feeling like something is missing, or feeling resentful of how others take up more space in the world than you do.

In my practice, I use EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, Internal Family Systems and Somatic Intervention and I draw from other evidence-based methods.
Because counseling can sometimes be a daunting experience, I aim to put my clients at ease from the first moment. Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time. When the tools and thoughts that we use to cope with life's changes and challenges are out dated, they can leave us feeling depressed, fearful, or overwhelmed. I work collaboratively with my clients to fully understand their issues and to develop treatment strategies that address their concerns in an open, safe, and understanding environment.

When life feels like a lot—you don’t have to navigate it alone. Lets unpack what you are experiencing. I offer a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what you’re feeling—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.
Together, we can create a space that feels safe, respectful, and grounded in an understanding of how identity, culture, and lived experience shape mental health. I bring a social-justice-informed lens into therapy, honoring both the personal and systemic factors that impact our well-being.

I understand the individual and family struggles that come along with domestic violence, trauma, sexual abuse, physical abuse, etc.
