HealthFirst Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I work with adults of all ages experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, relationships (romantic, peer, family), life transitions, and impacts of prior trauma. I also offer couples therapy to assist partners in relieving communication difficulties. My approach is based primarily in psychodynamic or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a contemporary style influenced by psychoanalysis. We explore aspects of yourself that may be operating unconsciously as you are living your life and relating with other people, with appreciation for the ways that earlier life experiences and attachment relationships can influence us in the present.

Are you navigating racial trauma, identity shifts, or the intersections of culture, sexuality, and spirituality? I work with thoughtful, growth-oriented adults (18+) ready to examine patterns and build emotional accountability. Many of my clients are cycle-breaking individuals tired of code-switching, shrinking, and carrying generational weight alone. My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and culturally grounded. I also facilitate a culturally affirming Parent Support Village for intentional caregivers.

The human experience can be a lonely one. Too often we feel misunderstood or unheard, and while these feelings are the cause of much distress and dysfunction in our lives, therapy is a great tool to help you face those challenges. Taking the steps to start your therapeutic journey can be the hardest to make, and rest assured that I offer a safe, judgment-free environment for a diverse client population, from those suffering with grief, loss, ADHD, trauma, depression, life-transitions, relationship challenges, to members of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, who may have additional challenges to confront.

With over 20 years of experience, I offer both traditional talk psychotherapy and art psychotherapy to help you find your emotional voice whether it be about a current situation that is causing you distress or something from your past or future. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) which is an evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses on healing by understanding and compassionately relating to ourselves, rather than just suppressing symptoms. By engaging your own compassion and clarity, IFS allows healing for the wounded "exiled” parts of us, which reduces the need for extreme protective behaviors.

Brooklyn North Creative Arts Therapy
Creative Arts Therapist, MA, LCAT, ATR

Brooklyn, NY 11222
In network with Healthfirst & Cigna, and am an approved OON provider for Aetna & NYSHIP.
You move through the world as a creative, thoughtful person, yet anxiety hums beneath the surface. Dating feels confusing, family dynamics feel tangled, and career questions keep you up at night. You sense old attachment wounds shaping present relationships and want a space that feels affirming, not pathologizing.
Many of the people drawn to me are creative professionals, often queer, seeking a non traditional approach to therapy. I also work closely with women college age and up navigating anxiety, interpersonal concerns, and life stressors. They want warmth, depth, and support that honors both their creativity and complexity.
