Transgender Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

My clients typically enter therapy hoping to learn more about themselves, gain tangible coping skills, build meaningful relationships, and process & heal from trauma. They often experience one or more of the following: disordered eating, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, panic attacks, neurodivergence, PTSD, exploring gender or sexuality (or both!), codependency, or PMDD. Recognizing the systemic roots of many presenting problems, I validate the past experiences of clients who have felt like therapy wasn’t for them and recognize the roles of privilege and politics in mental health. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting, and affirming therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals using a psychodynamic approach. My role as such is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted. In my practice, I look to be responsive, collaborative, and affirmative when working with folks' intersecting identities and how those identities show up within the therapeutic relationship.

I offer clients the opportunity to collaboratively examine their current lives, identify what is and is not working, and explore how things can change.

By doing so we can begin to change how you relate to yourself and others and eventually create change.
