Teletherapy for Brooklyn, NY

My focus has consistently revolved around alleviating the everyday stressors that impact my client's daily lives. We are living in a unique time, where challenges of living are becoming more complex. I know first hand how that impacts children, youth, and families. How we live together and our relationships are vital. I am here to help you nurture and love yourself through compassionate listening and support.

As we journey through life's stages, we encounter peaks, valleys and adverse circumstances that will throw us off course. Choosing the high road can be difficult especially when we are stressed, anxious, facing relational problems, parenting problems and difficulties on the workplace. I will teach you coping skills to deal with these unforeseen situations and even with those that are most anticipated. I subscribe to a proactive approach to therapy; focusing on the individual's strengths, without neglecting practical and real issues of human frailties.

The nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship can deepen your understanding of yourself and teach you new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so you can feel safe and comfortable sharing your deepest feelings. I am a therapist who has the keen ability to help you achieve your desired goals.

Welcome! If you are queer, trans, non-binary, questioning, neurodivergent, kinky, poly, or otherwise inclined to defy mainstream narratives of mental health and well-being, then I may be the right fit for you. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the New York metro area, I offer an oasis of compassion, creativity, and self-reflection. I have several years of experience working as a body-neutral and LGBTQ-affirming sex educator, as well as working with queer and trans youth of color. I am especially proud to assist others in dismantling internalized forms of oppression and critically reframing their experiences with radical self-love.

You may be experiencing feelings and behaviors you cannot always explain, control, or understand. I am an experienced, dedicated, and caring therapist devoted to helping the individual and family through challenges. My passion and experience is extensive in the areas of addictions, co-dependency, family issues, trauma, criminal justice-involved persons; adolescent and childhood challenges. My approach encompasses the promotion of increased self-awareness and knowledge. I believe each of us has the ability to feel joy and to accept life's twists and turns with grace and serenity.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Therapy can help client's take that first step. My style is interactive and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based models to help client's explore and reach desired goals, overcome obstacles preventing growth and self-awareness, both necessary aspects to feeling better to improve well-being and quality-of-life. We explore the six dimensions of wellness, examine relationships, with individual or couples therapy and look at behaviors to find an appropriate balance. We examine changing maladaptive negative behaviors, and replacing them with positive life-enriching behaviors.

There are many good reasons to start therapy. Maybe you are feeling stuck in life. Maybe chronic anxiety or depression is taking away your ability to be happy. Maybe you want to improve the relationships in your life. Maybe you want to increase your self-awareness and maximize your potential. Maybe you need healing from a traumatic event. It can be intimidating to start the process, and it can also be the best decision you ever made. Let's start the conversation, e-mail is the best way to contact me for more information.

My extensive experience and attuned, empathetic, approach helps guide our conversation, and inquiry to quickly identify and clarify issues that cause stress, vague feelings of unease, work and relational issues. Our first consultation should help you both put in words, and define a strategy that may begin to clarify and solve long standing problems. I have experience working with problems that overlap with high stress work environments, coaching and interpersonal work issues. My 40 year experience as a couple therapist allows me to quickly define the relationship conflict and facilitate the dialogue between the partners.

Today’s pandemic has created emotional and physical stressors that challenge our ability to manage anxious feelings and angry impulses. Thankfully, even under these conditions, anger and anxiety management remain skills you can learn and practice. Though the feelings of anger and anxiety are universal, the expression of these feelings can vary, and thus can result in either positive changes or disastrous consequences for your personal relationships, physical well-being, or professional career.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who helps adults & adolescents understand and cope with difficult feelings and behaviors that are getting in their way. Sometimes we feel inexplicably sad, lonely, withdrawn, defeated, alienated, anxious, or self-defeating. These feelings can impact our lives and relationships in a negative way. By exploring and understanding these feelings and behaviors together, we can begin to work on changing the negative patterns and to restore a sense of connection and engagement.

I believe that individuals hold a great deal of expertise about their own lives. Psychotherapy is not a process of prescription, but rather one of co-exploration. In my view, a therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, curiosity, and shared purpose can be the site of profound healing and insight generation.
