Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I am a psychotherapist originally from London, England specializing in working with adults and young people aged 12 and up, with a current focus on men and young men. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, often exploring unresolved past issues that contribute to present difficulties. My clients may be experiencing relationship challenges, anger, anxiety, or general feelings of discomfort, or may be seeking professional help for reasons they can't articulate. My goal is to help people identify what is causing them to struggle, so that it can be addressed and that they (and others around them) can live a better life.

I am a psychotherapist with fifteen years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families. Some people come to therapy for help with depression or anxiety, or because they are facing obstacles in their careers or relationships. Others wish to help their children with behavioral, emotional or academic issues. Within a warm and supportive environment, I will help clarify your goals and work towards them. We will identify negative patterns, and ways to cope. I am trained to assist those who feel overwhelmed because of past events and current stresses.

With parents, I help address challenges such as noncompliance, oppositional behavior, and aggression.
Maybe you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child’s behavior, or an adult struggling with stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges. My practice focuses on two areas: supporting parents of children ages 2–12 with behavioral concerns, and providing psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, burnout, work stress, and relationship difficulties. My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and grounded in evidence-based care.

Are you holding it all together on the outside—while quietly falling apart inside?
You show up for your work, your relationships, your responsibilities. You’re accomplished, capable, creative. But it’s taking a toll. Maybe you feel burnt out, disconnected, anxious, or like you’ve lost touch with something essential inside you. The old coping strategies aren’t cutting it anymore—and part of you knows it’s time for a different kind of support.
I work with high-functioning, sensitive people who carry a lot—creatives, caregivers, professionals—who long to feel more grounded, alive, and at home in their lives.

Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist who focuses on bringing more vitality and meaning to everyday life. I approach therapy from a lens that is both intellectual and creative, to catalyze intentional change and foster optimal well-being. Working together would include learning about neuroscience, gaining a deep understanding of how things work, and why things work in the brain. We will also bring awareness to life patterns that are getting in the way. If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, and out of sync, my goal is to help you find your own path back to the spark of life. Reach out! We aren't meant to do this alone.

One of my core values is to offer my complete presence to the other person. I believe presence is key to fostering a safe and secure environment so that mutual trust can unfold and transformative work can be done. Since 2010, I have focused my work on children and parents struggling with family life challenges including traumatic events such as divorce, loss, prenatal/birth trauma, medical procedures, adoption and attachment disruption. I am also trained in Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), a modality that specifically helps children resolve trauma using play, movement, and sensory motor stimulation.

As a therapist, I view the process as a partnership (collaboration) between the client and myself to establish the most appropriate and effective form of treatment. My approach to therapy is an eclectic one. There is no one size fits all. As the client and I begin to work together the most effective treatment modality will reveal its self and will guide the treatment planning process.
