Grief Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
With twenty-five years of experience advocating for older adults, I possess extensive knowledge in community services, long-term care, housing, and mental health. This background has given me a deep understanding of the systems and narratives that shape aging. As a clinician, I address the complexities of aging, including the losses of friends, spouses, and pets, as well as shifts in relationships and expectations. Change can be hard to contend with—whether it involves shifts in relationships, expectations, our environment, or our ability to function within it.

I believe in the journey of feeling, dealing, and healing in therapy. Whatever thoughts, feelings, or urges bring you to therapy are welcome guests. Together, we will slow down, take a closer look, and listen to what each part of you wants to say. Behind every so-called “problem” there is often a deeper longing or unmet need. As you make room for your inner experiences, the burden may begin to be released, and change may gradually happen.
