Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Counseling shouldn't be a chore. I work hard to offer a flexible and empowering space for clients to take control of their lives and make the changes they want to see. Therapy is for you and just starting the process takes a lot of work so utilizing a strength based, empowering and positive psychology approach is how I make a very person centered practice. It's hard to find a therapist that is a good fit but together we will work on achieving the life and goals that help you live the life you want and desire.

You’re ready to realign to your authentic self with clarity, creativity, self compassion, and connection.

I will help you identify what is burdening you, how to maneuver stressors, and recalibrate your body and mind to accept goodness into your life with ease.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, trauma, adjustments, and relationship issues. By embracing cultural nuances and sensitivities, I create a nurturing environment where clients can explore their challenges effectively.
