Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I have been practicing since 2006 and I have worked with a wide range of issues and work best with people who are looking for emotional/behavioral change and/or work on their core attachment issues. My client base typically consists of clients struggling with Borderline Personality/ Narcissistic Personality disorders, Trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, Gender/sexuality, ENM/Poly, Kink/BDSM, and/or LGBTQIA+ folx. I am a therapist who pushes their clients to work on their issues so I generally work well with clients who are ready to work on the issues they are struggling with.

Change can be intimidating. We develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood, causing disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. My approach to therapy is rooted in helping clients develop a deeper understanding of these patterns and effecting change and empowerment through insight, support, and challenging maladaptive beliefs.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from others and wish for relationships that are more solid and fulfilling? Do you struggle with difficulties in communication or experience feelings of being misunderstood? Have you experienced difficult events in the past that affect your current life? Whatever challenges currently bring you to consider therapy, I would like to work with you to alleviate distress, promote positive change, and form stronger relationships. I love the work I do and I feel privileged to see individuals, couples, and families grow, deepen understanding, and change through their experiences in therapy.

Most therapy approaches focus on understanding ourselves intellectually, thereby engaging the left side of our brain. Yet, sustainable change happens through whole-mind integration, where the body, brain, as well as relational field are parts of the healing process. Using a blend of Somatic Experiencing®, Trauma and Attachment Therapy, Depth Psychology, and Dream Analysis, Somatic Counseling offers the body and psyche the support needed to discharge, renegotiate and reorganize locked-in fight, flight and freeze responses that are stored in the nervous system. A process that is compassionate and respectful to your needs and rhythm.

If you feel hopeless, I will hold hope for you. If you feel helpless, I will remind you of how strong you are even if you don't feel strong in the moment. We all struggle to let go of our past, maybe an imperfect childhood or a traumatic romantic relationship. We all want a second chance to create the life we were supposed to have. Change is painful. And you may have to walk away from something, or someone, who no longer serves you.

I specialize in helping my patients to explore and express their feelings to heal early trauma. I use PTSD techniques to work on traumatic experiences, Life Coaching to work on short/long term goals and Energy Healing to complete the healing process. I help my patients to identify triggers and resolve associated problems to move forward. I find that when early trauma or blockage is released, patients are better able to fulfill their desired dreams. When knowledge and experience is combined with genuine caring and genuine listening, the results can have extraordinary potential. I do Telehealth sessions: phone, Zoom & FaceTime.

In Person and Telehealth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an Advanced Schema Therapist, Trainer and Clinical Supervisor with over 18 years of post-graduate experience. I am also trained in Emotion Focused Couples Therapy. I provide therapy in a warm and accepting, yet challenging environment....Life does not have to be an endurance contest. Real, lasting change is possible.

My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.

I am a trauma informed, sex positive clinician with advanced training in CBT, DBT, play therapy, and maternal mental health. I work from a strengths based perspective to help my clients navigate the complexity of relationships and day to day stressors and work towards viable solutions. I personalize and create individual treatment plans for each of my clients and help them work towards the short and long term goals they wish to achieve.

I am here with you. Well, not yet. But when I’m with you, I’m with you. With you in your pain and loneliness, your sadness and anger, your joy, your surprise and inspiration. With you in your transition, your loss, your growth and transformation. Therapy with me is a creative process of exploration and discovery in the here and now. I believe that we have a boundless capacity to grow and change, to heal and become unstuck from self-denying, self-destructive ways of being. I also believe that your experience of being stuck is REAL; it’s not “all in your head” and you can’t “just snap out of it.” I know because I’ve been there.

My approach is a supportive, interactive one that aims to help people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Ultimately my goal is to establish a collaborative dialogue that offers a safe place to examine current challenges alongside past formative experiences.

If you are someone who wants to make changes in your life but find you cannot do it alone, you may need a partner to help you achieve your goals. Psychotherapy is a path towards change, towards becoming the person you want to be. If you struggle with life's decisions, depression, anxiety, relationship worries, you may gain insight and personal strength through psychotherapy. When you make the choice for working in psychotherapy, it is a choice toward greater insight and pleasure in your life again. Psychotherapy will give you more personal freedom, more options to reach your goals.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, family and interpersonal relationships, OCD, as well as a wide array encompassing many other challenges. I also work with people on Peak Performance training. My work takes place both in a clinical office setting as well as out in the real world, working with you in the way that will most effectively achieve your goals.  I am informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Motivational Interviewing, among other modalities and frameworks. I am also trained in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy and work with clients using Ketamine.

Life transitions - from getting married, a new job, having children, or retirement - present us with new and unique challenges that we have to navigate. Oftentimes the challenges presented by these life transitions are informed by our experiences in navigating previous major life transitions. My approach to psychotherapy is to examine not only the current challenges but also any previous obstacles that we have faced in order to determine what interpersonal, internal, and skills-based needs may be getting in the way of successfully navigating the current situation.

Often times, we as individuals will struggle with our relationships with our families, employers, and even acquaintances. When dealing with everyday life we need to recognize how we can approach each individual differently. Personally I would like to address anger management techniques and manage stress and anxiety with individuals in their daily lives. Learning to control the trajectories in our lives and aim for healthy relationships with all individuals we encounter can maximize our relationships. My mission is to address cultural issues within our homes and co dependency.

With a warm, interactive style, I help people of all ages come to a deeper understanding of the interplay between their experiences, emotions and everyday lives. Armed with greater self-awareness and acceptance, you can build on your strengths and create the life you want for yourself. The core of my work is problem-solving. What do you want your life to look like? What's standing in your way? Our work together can help you answer these questions, while giving you lifelong skills for coping with life's inevitable challenges.
