You’ve reached a point where surviving isn’t enough. The anxiety, the low moods, the scattered focus—it’s become too heavy to carry alone. You’re ready to understand yourself better, to untangle old patterns, and to do the real work of change. In therapy, you’ll have space to slow down, find clarity, and rebuild a steadier version of yourself—one that feels more grounded, focused, and at peace.

You may be feeling stuck and unhappy in your life, relationships or job and old coping skills are not effective anymore.

I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.

Hello there :) I'm Tanner (he/him) a Black, queer, art and creativity lover based in Brooklyn, NY on occupied Lenape land.

In therapy I like to focus on helping clients develop an understanding and connection of their behaviors and internal world. This can be for clients with trauma, addictions, emotional dysregulation or interpersonal problems. In neuropsychology I love to help children and adults that are struggling with their school or work responsibilities. There are often subtle cognitive or neuropsychological issues that help explain where their issues are coming from and it is very fulfilling to help clients identify those issues and either resolve or work around them.

I believe everyone has the right to choose how they live and experience the world, and I am genuinely interested in understanding how you process the experiences and relationships in your life. This speaks to my existential approach, while borrowing elements of psychodynamic therapy to gain a thorough understanding of what has shaped you. Sometimes we can grow to accept parts of our lives that cause pain, and in accepting those things, we may find peace. The human condition can be complicated, but it can also be celebrated.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever goals, solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call or email and see how I can help.

If you find yourself longing to change the way you communicate within your family, wish your kids would stop fighting, worry about dynamics at home or just want the extra support, I am here to help.
I am passionate about working with children and use the therapeutic power of play to help children work through their challenges. Play is children's primary way of communicating their inner world and experiences. Just as adults "talk" it out, children play.

Finding a psychologist who is a good fit, especially at the time of emotional crisis can be challenging. To find someone who is empathic, but also direct and firm, who is not afraid to call you out when you most need it, someone who understands the real life challenges of being a parent, teen, or young adult and who approaches challenges with a sense of humor and compassion, someone who has the right training, expertise, and schedule, can be daunting, to say the least. I am a CBT/DBT trained and practicing psychologist who is compassionate and direct.

Whether you are a teenager or an adult, existential moments present themselves. Sometimes it takes the help of someone compassionate, yet straightforward, who is outside of the problem to help you find solutions.

I work with both adolescents and adults in areas such as: trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
