Through both my psychoanalytic training and my training as a creative arts therapist, I treat each person as an individual and we come up with a treatment plan together. My patients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, identity formation, trauma, and attachment issues. My view of therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to help you increase your self-esteem, have a greater understanding of yourself, and be able to have healthy and long-lasting friendships and romantic relationships.

I work with adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and adjustment difficulties to new life stressors. I have extensive experience working with foreign-born clients, addressing cross-cultural issues, as well as the emotional impact of uprooting, relocating, and redefining oneself in a new environment. I am trilingual, practicing in English, French, and Turkish. I have completed psychoanalytic training at the Karen Horney Psychoanalytic Institute. I have been in practice for twenty years. In practicing psychotherapy I blend introspective exploration of one self with cognitive, supportive and problem solving approaches.

I have fifteen years of experience working with a wide range of issues - from anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma, to issues related to gender and sexuality, as well as difficulties in relationships, work, and school. My training is in psychoanalytic psychotherapy from the William Alanson White Institute, and I also have experience working in a supportive therapy approach. I work to create an open and non-judgmental atmosphere rooted in curiosity and deep respect for your life, your mind, and your aspirations.

My approach is steeped in a deep regard for psychoanalytic study, theory, and practice and draws on my creative background.
Sometimes life can feel so overwhelming that it seems the only thing we can do is numb out, shut down, give into addiction, dissociation, or other forms of self-injury. One way out of this is to build our capacity to tolerate feeling. Navigating these stormy seas within ourselves can feel impossible to do on ones own. We're not meant to do this alone. Your unique experiences deserve to fall upon the ears of an empathetic and attuned listener who can help you find your bearings and learn to rework the damage that has been endured in order to heal wounds and grow new psychic skin. We can learn to survive what has seemed unsurvivable.

I have training in the psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic approach to therapy.
It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

My approach to therapy is what is called psychoanalytic or psychodynamic, but I believe that therapy is not "one size fits all", and I try to tailor my approach to your needs.
Psychotherapy is a collaboration between patient and therapist designed to help the patient resolve problems and live a more satisfying life. My first task is helping patients feel as comfortable as possible to speak about what is troubling them. To this end, I offer a non-judgmental, accepting, and professional approach to treatment. I am a highly trained and experienced psychologist in private practice in Cobble Hill Brooklyn. I supervise and teach therapists-in-training. My training and experience have helped me to listen deeply and empathically as well as to offer steady commitment, caring, and concern to my patients

I have trained in psychoanalysis at Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center and work together with clients to find how to use the space most effectively for them.
I work to help individuals communicate their emotional and lived experiences. Together we will work to explore the structures that are behind suffering and make meaning of relationships, interpersonal patterns and self views. I believe that each therapeutic relationship is unique and an opportunity to create a new way of relating to each other and ourselves.

To further deepen the integrative work I do, I pursued advanced psychoanalytic training and in 2015 graduated from NYUs postdoctoral program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
Beginning therapy, although challenging, can be a real opportunity to better understand yourself and your choices. and ultimately improve your overall quality of life. By exploring our feelings, thoughts, and repeating patterns more closely, one gains insight and can be more mindful and mobilized to change. I am a clinical psychologist who is dedicated to working with adults, both individuals and couples, and committed to better understanding and challenging that which is getting in the way of more meaningful relationships with yourself and others.

I utilize an eclectic approach including Psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused Therapy (attachment theory), Mindfulness Parenting, DBT and Psychoanalytic methods.
I have been practicing for over 28 years as a couples, family and individual therapist, for children, adolescents and adults. My areas of specialty include relationships, how to manage conflicts, parenting teens, how to maintain intimacy and co-parent effectively, including challenges of dating, infidelity, divorce, sex and finances. I work individually with people struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, infertility, and other personal issues. My early career work supervising therapists in a court based crisis unit led me to many decades of work with NYC teens and their families.

My work is informed by contemporary psychoanalytic theories and techniques because I believe these help facilitate a process that addresses the deepest levels of distress and has the most lasting benefits.
Life moves quickly, and therapy can help you to slow down and reflect on your experience in ways that open up new possibilities. In this process, even the most troubling symptoms contain important potential energy. As a therapist I work to strike a balance between creating space for reflection and participating actively in the process, including, when needed, telling you what I really think. But most of all, I have respect for the particular difficulties that you face and for the ways in which you have lived with them.

My work is informed by Buddhist philosophy and psychoanalytic theory.
Have you found that just talking about your problems was not moving you toward the change you were hoping to make? I integrate a somatic, mindfulness based approach to psychodynamic psychotherapy and specialize in complex trauma, loneliness, shame, and grief. We will do more than just talk. We will attune with curiosity to the unconscious material that the body holds. We will be available to what arises in the therapeutic relationship and how it evokes what you came to want and fear. I invite you to begin this practice of opening.

I have been a licensed clinical psychotherapist since 1993. I've worked for Catholic Charities and the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services and started private practice in 2013. I emphasize psychodynamic psychotherapy (I studied at the Psychoanalytic Institute of California), but shape my approach to each individual client and his or her needs and goals. My work has centered on mature adults with mental, emotional or physical disorders, but I have treated clients of all ages and diagnoses. I develop an empathic connection with each client, bringing about a firm relationship and lasting change.

In addition to utilizing psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic and relational perspectives to explore and make sense of our inner worlds, I am committed to investigating and helping to make reparative use of the ways race, racism, ethnicity, class, sexuality and gender inform our senses of self and other, and have created traumatized spaces in our brains and bodies.
I offer in-person psychotherapy in both Brooklyn and Manhattan and am experienced in the treatment of depression, the effects of trauma, anxiety, substance use, and difficulties in relationships. Together, we can figure out why you do the things you do, and close the gaps between blank spots in understanding, feeling, and doing. In this way we can help you to experience greater aliveness as an individual and harmony and joy in your connections with others.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
