Transgender Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
Psychotherapy is a co-created experience between therapist and client. For over 20 years I have had the honor of working with people who feel stuck in their lives, whether it be their jobs, their relationships, or perhaps in some part of their identity. By bringing non-judgmental curiosity to our work together, it is my goal to create a safe and welcoming space within which to explore the patterns of behavior that may not be serving their purpose anymore. I enjoy working with teens and adults, providing them with support to be their most authentic, genuine selves. I'm licensed in NY, CT, MA, VT and ME.

I offer clients the opportunity to collaboratively examine their current lives, identify what is and is not working, and explore how things can change. We will bring the things just outside of awareness into focus and examine how they are perpetuating the patterns that are keeping you from living the life that you want. By doing so we can begin to change how you relate to yourself and others and eventually create change.

If all the world is a stage, do you feel like the only one who didn't get a copy of the script? Did you grow up feeling there was something fundamentally different or 'wrong' about you, something that you had to hide from the world? Do you feel you are often misunderstood in social situations, that you have to choose your words very carefully or people will misinterpret them? Do certain sounds, tastes, or textures bother you a lot? Have you had the thought 'either autistic people need to stop being so relatable, or I need to see a therapist' ?

At Orion Psychotherapy, our mission is to support the expressive experiences of adolescents, adults, couples, and families, facilitating meaningful discovery and intentional change. With a Humanistic foundation and a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are and tailor techniques to your unique challenges. To be frank, I do much more than ask good questions and provide affirming vibes. I view treating mental illness and fostering mental health as distinct skills, encouraging clients to invest as much effort in addressing negative and dissociative emotions as they do in cultivating positive ones.

Navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or gender expansive individual can be challenging, especially as a teen or young adult. Exploring gender/sexuality, while facing homophobia and/or transphobia, can cause significant emotional distress. It can be hard to know how to process and cope with those feelings, or where to turn for help. I hope to provide a safe, affirming environment for adolescents and adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to discuss their unique experiences, and work towards affirmation of their authentic self.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want to live? Life has a way of pausing at pivotal moments, offering the chance to reflect, realign, and reimagine.

I’m a Latinx therapist and person of color (POC) with advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and evidence-based practices. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, and relationship issues.
