You’re exhausted. You are a sensitive, unique soul, and you’re tired of spinning your wheels. You put a lot of pressure on yourself. You know you can do better in several areas, but you’re not sure where to start. Thinking about it, alone, makes you feel overwhelmed. You’re scared that when you finally take the leap and reach out to someone for help, nothing will change. They won’t get you, won’t see the real you. You’re not even sure you can open up enough for real change, but you know you want to try, with someone smart and sincere to help you make sense of things, no bullshit.

Are you struggling to let go of past hurt or are you stuck in the same patterns? Are you struggling to move forward from a past relationship? Do you keep choosing the wrong partner, but you don’t know why? Are you feeling single and ashamed? Are you feeling alone in your pain? Is shame, anger, low self-esteem, resentment, sadness or anxiety holding you back? Do you notice that you’re engaging in the same maladaptive behaviors as your parents? Do you want to better understand who you are and why you cannot break your patterns? Do you need new tools to help you cope with the challenges of life? Allow us the opportunity to support you

Drawing upon experiences working in higher education, music, and art, I believe that all individuals possess the ability to grow and change. I view therapy as an opportunity to collaboratively explore, identify, and resolve your specific life challenges. Using compassionate and evidence based interventions combined with your own unique strengths, I can help you better understand your emotions, behaviors, and relationships so that you can make lasting positive changes and achieve your goals.

Do you sometimes have a hard time accepting parts of yourself or your feelings that you are experiencing? Perhaps you know what you should do, but just can't do it no matter how much advice others give you. Or perhaps you feel sad, angry or stuck and don't see a way out. Therapy can be a place where you can gain clarity regarding your feelings, needs and desires as well as a place to look at parts of yourself you might be scared to look at. You are never one identity, one feeling, one experience, but rather many all at once. Life is hard, especially under captialism and systemic oppression. You got this, one step at a time.

I'm glad you're here! I help people free themselves from painful relational patterns and start feeling calm, safe and authentic. We will work with experiences that are keeping you stuck, like trauma, marginalization, and difficult relationships, so that you can feel and process your emotions, heal past wounds, accommodate yourself and truly be you. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy and therapy for all kinds of relationship structures, including non-monogamous relationships and blended families.

People struggling with codependency typically have a history of trauma, abuse, neglect or other painful experiences. Even if no longer in those situations, you may experience deep loneliness from hiding yourself, resentment, physical aches and pains, substance use or perfectionism. You may have needed people-pleasing at a time in your life, but find it is no longer working now. I work with individual adults and couples; I offer in person sessions in Park Slope as well as virtual sessions in New York State. I specialize in treating people-pleasing and codependent patterns in relationships.

I wouldn't say I have an ideal client because I would never imply that any client is less than ideal. Still, at this point I'm only offering therapy online and can only accept those clients who are moderately impacted by their mental health situation (moderately depressed, moderately anxious, etc).

More than just talk therapy: Are you struggling to find deeper purpose & balance? You may feel disconnected, anxious, lonely & are seeking a sense of meaningful connection while finally healing the root of your pain. Whether you are feeling lost in how to heal unresolved trauma, or need support in transition, we will co-create authentic connection to your true self & develop a plan to reach your goals creatively. Together, our therapists will help you find freedom, feel safe in your body, and strengthen your tools for emotional balance. Treatment options: Creative Arts Therapy, Somatic Therapy, & KAP.

Clients describe me as empathetic, supportive, humorous, attentive, and authentic. I have spent years supporting individuals, couples & families navigating interpersonal challenges, anxiety, depression, infidelity, trauma, stress, self-esteem, work challenges, and life transitions. I also provide premarital counseling. I have expertise supporting the unique challenges of marginalized communities including Black, POC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, poly, etc. I am passionate about providing therapy because I know firsthand that finding a culturally aware therapist is not an easy feat.

Who you are is not up for debate. I place the intersections of identity at the forefront of my practice because identity frames who we are and how we experience the world. Those who experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse know it can negatively impact every area of your life. This type of trauma can lead to isolation, guilt, shame, sexual problems, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles and so much more. It is time to take back your life. I can help you break free from the hold your past abuse still has on you today. Together we can explore new interventions and tools, develop new skills and rewrite your narrative. You deserve this!

Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who suffer with these symptoms and I have over 17 years of experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders. I offer Therapy & Psychedelic Therapy. I have a background in art and have a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at Eating Disorder Centers, Mental Health Assessor for UCSF, Graduate psychology professor, crisis work for Mental Health Association of NYC & supervision of interns.

Now is the time to free yourself from the negative thoughts, judgement, shame, guilt, isolation, and fear that is holding you back.

Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

I will work collaboratively with you to analyze areas you feel need improvement, manage stress, clarify goals, and modify unwanted patterns in your life. I specialize in reducing anxiety, improving relationship dynamics, facilitating a deeper understanding of family issues, and assisting and supporting you through life transitions. I have a lot of experience with the LGBTQIA community, people in non-monogamous relationships, young adults and teens. I also offer EMDR for the treatment of trauma.

Waking up to another morning feeling the same anxiety and dread about your job, school, self-identity, partner, or family? Does life feel like all too much? Or maybe even empty? Are you ready to take steps forward while being present in the right here, right now? To feel excited by life and at peace with it? To breathe in fresh air, whatever your obstacles? My approach begins with you and your relationship with yourself, the people around you, your environment. We all suffer from common problems in life, love, and work, but the solutions that work for each of us are as unique as we are.

I am here to provide you with warm and compassionate support as you navigate life's challenges. Your journey is unique, and I want you to feel genuinely heard and understood. If you're facing issues like Depression, Anxiety, difficult relationships and work-related struggles, I am here to help you navigate and recover from these challenges. My commitment is to create a safe and supportive space for your healing. Together, we will address your struggles and challenges while fostering your personal growth and resilience. You can achieve emotional well-being, navigate life transitions, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life.

Finding the space to just be can be very hard. Especially if you feel like you don’t belong in that space; be it cultural, social, or political. When it feels like life can be too much and putting a band aid on the wound isn’t helping, therapy can be that space for diving deep into your heart, mind, body, and soul. And I would be honored to be there and guide you as you embark on this path. I work with clients who are in transitional moments of their lives, whether it is entering a relationship, leaving one, or figuring out the in-between. Together, we can cultivate a space that will help you align with your true self.
