Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I believe in the holistic nature of change. Thus viewed, change isn't initiated simply by thinking healthy thoughts. These healthy thoughts need to be complemented by healthy emotions in order for us to experience the motivation to change. Very often, we are disconnected from the emotions we experience in certain situations because those emotions haven’t been respected or acknowledged within our past relationships. Consequently, we become estranged from the parts of ourselves which those emotions represent. Through the therapeutic process we may reconnect with those neglected parts of ourselves so we may feel whole again.

Are you navigating life transitions (career, health, relational) and identity explorations (LGBTQ+, giftedness and neurodivergence, culture, creativity, activism)? Does anxiety influence your experience of intimacy, meaning, and vitality? Processing all of this in a safe space can reveal the powerful possibilities within new chapters of life.

Starting therapy requires bravery and vulnerability. As someone who has been on both sides of the equation – clinician and client – I want to make this act of courage on your part as comfortable as possible. I know what it feels like to share my experiences with a clinician and have them respond back to me with kindness, openness, and acceptance – sometimes simply by saying “You went through all that? Me too.” As your therapist, I’ll work with you to identify any thoughts, behaviors, emotions, or limiting beliefs preventing you from living a meaningful, joyful life.

While my first area of "expertise" is surely in substance use, abuse, and addictions, however, I also specialize in mind and body healing, and helping people to feel more empowered and in charge over their lives. With many therapeutic "tools" to draw from, I work with collaboratively with clients to determine what it is they are looking for from therapy, and which therapeutic path will likely be best for what they are looking for.

I am a Teletherapy/Videocounseling services provider in Florida and accept insurance and private payments. However, outside Florida, I only accept private payments. Taking the step to seek counseling is a brave and patient choice that can help you develop coping skills and improve your life.

In a session together we will shift feelings of overwhelmed, stress and any adjustment, transition concerns with tenderness, and engaged compassion. We are present with your range of emotions, in an open, curious, empathetic expansive space and we aim to tap into your innate wisdom through insight, humor and joy; and if need be actionable steps. I hope that each session will be restorative, empowering, insightful and powerful in aiding you to identify your values and integrating them organically in your life.

Do you find that your self-worth and happiness are largely dependent on other people, places, and things? The validation gained from external variables tend to be short lived, leading to an overdrive in reassurance seeking behaviors, fear, anxiety, and sadness. No matter how difficult it may seem to feel secure within yourself, together we will pursue a journey of self-empowerment and self-compassion, to achieve exactly that! We will explore the root causes of current belief systems and attachment styles, while taking mindful steps to nurture a life that honors your needs.

The body / mind connection is extremely important in the healing process and as a certified yoga instructor, I also incorporate meditation, breathwork, and gentle physical movement into the therapeutic experience.

I believe my 10 years of experience has given me the strength and compassion to work with adults and elderly people.
