My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

Therapy should be a place where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged. I am here to help adults navigate grief, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and postpartum challenges with compassion and care. In every session, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story, strengthen your coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of hope and purpose. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), grief treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I draw from each approach as needed to best support your goals. Dialectical behavior therapy may help you manage strong emotions and build distress tolerance. Cognitive behavioral therapy can guide you in shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing provides a path for processing trauma and difficult memories. For new parents, I offer dedicated postpartum therapy, supporting those experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or the identity shifts that come with caring for a new baby. I am passionate about walking beside clients through both pain and growth. I understand how heavy life can feel at times, and how meaningful it is to find steadier ground. Whether you are seeking dialectical behavior therapy for support with emotion regulation or are in the midst of a loss and looking for grief therapy to feel less alone, I will meet you with warmth, encouragement, and a belief in your capacity to heal.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist. I offer an warm and compassionate approach that allows individuals, couples and families to explore issues that they feel they are getting suck in and interfere with their ability to navigate life challenges. I am also trained in AEDP and IFS as well as Somatic Experienced therapy.

Have you wondered how past experiences or how you were treated as a child are affecting how you feel now? Perhaps you experience mood swings, anger, depression or anxiety and often feel as if your emotions are out-of-control. Do you sometimes feel agitated or irritable? Have unsatisfying relationships have been a part of your life? Early family dynamics often have a long-term impact, influencing how you view yourself and your place in the world. If you feel hopeless or discouraged please know that It doesn’t have to be like this! We can work together to understand your thoughts, feelings and past experiences. Then, we'll focus on changing patterns that keep you feeling stuck and on developing new ways to cope so that you experience more of what you desire in life. Healing is possible and life can feel more satisfying! Treatment is designed to fit your goals, is trauma-informed, and focused on your healing, growth and wellness. We work with the mind - body connection to heal from past experiences using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and other therapies. Troubling thoughts and the emotions and behaviors that follow can be modified with CBT and Mindfulness. The goal is for you to feel more stable and confident. Warm, kind, respectful and non-judgmental, I am passionate about helping people better manage their emotions and lives. My aim is to help you feel better so that you can be the best version of yourself and live the life you’ve always dreamed of.

I start with the belief that we all have an intrinsic ability to heal. Using awareness of body, mind and emotions, we can make our lives and relationships better, get unstuck from trauma, and learn to stay in the here and now. We can create greater regulation in our nervous systems. Instead of repeating negative patterns, we can build new pathways. My clients tell me that our work together helps them gain compassion for self and others, change long-standing patterns, connect with their body, emotions, and sense of inner goodness -- and simply feel more alive. I'm a Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner and an SE Training Assistant. I'm also an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist. and a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP). Other modalities I'm trained in that are useful for renegotiating trauma are the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Somatic Resilience and Regulation (SRR), and EMDR. I also use Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (effective for building parent-child attachment and parental leadership), and Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART). I'm a certified instructor of Yoga Dance and a Rape Crisis Counselor. I'm director of Mindful Therapy Brooklyn, a group practice. I created Starfish Body and Soul, a therapeutic movement program for trauma survivors.

We are a collaborative team working on your health and well-being. In the interest of enhanced communication between us, I'd like to take the time to explain the process of counseling. The process of counseling can be both exciting and scary, as you reach within yourself to achieve your full potential. It often takes a "leap of faith" to begin the counseling process, and you've already achieved that difficult goal. You will set and achieve many other difficult goals in our time together! In counseling, I work primarily from three different viewpoints. The first is called cognitive-behavioral, which is really just a term to describe the fact that I believe that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are very intertwined, and that sometimes our problems are caused by the way we think, feel, and/or behave. This gets complicated because all of these things become mixed with one another, so after a while it may become difficult to sort out what started the problem in the first place. One of the things I will do in therapy is to help you sort out your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and which of these may contribute to your problems. Sometimes simply restructuring the way we think is enough for us to work through our problems. A second viewpoint I work from deals with the family in which you grew up. Many of the things we experience in our childhood affects us throughout our lives, and, in fact, help to shape the personalities we have as adults. One of the things we will do in therapy is explore your family history to look for patterns and themes that may affect you and play out in your life today. Sometimes simply recognizing your family's patterns, whether currently, or how you think and feel about them in the past, can help you to work through your issues. Finally, I work from a systemic point of view. Simply put, I acknowledge that each one us is embedded in a greater context than ourselves. We have families, friends, school, work, community, and other life situations that greatly affect how we function. I will work with you to discover if there are any systemic difficulties in your life, and help you to resolve them. These are my primary ways of helping you in counseling, though I will utilize a variety of techniques to help you in any way that I can. One of the things that you can expect, though, is that I will be giving you 100% in our work together. If you put the same amount of effort into this process, you will be amazed at what you can achieve!

Maybe people accuse you of being paranoid when really they are at fault. Maybe you are hearing talking or having other unusual experiences, that are freaking you out or stopping you getting things done. Maybe you are concerned for a loved one, who seems to be experiencing these things and you don't know how to help? You are not alone! I will hear you out and begin to help you make sense of what is happening. I use a therapy called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy which has been proven to be effective for this, giving you tools to manage stressors yourself without having to be in therapy for ever. You will begin to learn strategies to help feel calmer and more safe. We will figure out what is getting in the way of your goals and how to overcome those obstacles (or survive them). I will not tell you that you are sick, wrong or bad. You will feel understood. I have helped hundreds of people with unusual experiences overcome their distress and achieve their goals, without shame or stigma. I am able to see people located anywhere in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, all by telemedicine. Reception will take your call or you can easily schedule through our website. Contact us now!

Struggling with relationship conflict? Feeling unheard, hurt, or disconnected? I work with couples to build trust, improve communication, and resolve conflicts while honoring both individual needs and shared goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s causing pain or resentment, identify emotional triggers, and develop healthy ways to manage conflict. Every relationship is unique, shaped by past experiences and current pressures. Using proven, practical methods, we’ll focus on what fulfillment looks like for each of you—and how to move forward, together. Let’s talk. I look forward to supporting you both.

My approach to helping my clients is nonjudgmental, strength-based, and curious. Through the use of several psychodynamic approaches and applied Jungian analysis, I am able to help clients transform their lives by exploring their self-concept and improving their self-esteem. I believe that a nonjudgmental approach helps us uncover painful patterns and past experiences while fostering sustainable self-reflection.

Life often presents individuals with circumstances that are difficult to navigate. I will work with you to address challenges and overcome obstacles towards fulfilling your potential. We will explore your patterns of behavior, their origins, and usefulness or counter productiveness to facilitate your achieving healthy and effective approaches. Focusing on your feelings and perceptions and how they affect your behavior, you will develop effective skills for achieving success.

Frequently, people who have experienced trauma, develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am certified in EMDR, CPT and MI. Additionally I am trained in Internal Family Systems. My practice is influenced by CBT, psychodynamic, Schema and mindfulness-based therapies. We will spend our first sessions exploring important historical information, assessing your needs, and setting goals. I strive to nurture relationships with clients that are compassionate, kind, and non-judgmental, and safe enough to tolerate direct but gentle confrontation. Together we will determine the approach and pace that will work best for you.

As an integrative, multidisciplinary therapist, I offer a blend of evidence-supported and holistic approaches to help you achieve emotional and spiritual wellness. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, I provide personalized therapy with the aim to unearth barriers and foster a deeper connection to your true self. In our work together, we'll use holistic and integrative therapy to help you first "put out the fires" in your life and learn to keep them at bay so that you can connect with your inner self, align with your values, and find your purpose. Many people come to me for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes, looking for practical tools to "fix" their problems while working toward longer-term emotional balance, self-compassion, and a fulfilling life. I can help you navigate your emotions in the here and now, understand past challenges so they can stop plaguing you, build resilience, and ultimately move forward with intention. I understand the courage it takes to seek support and a desire to lead a more fulfilling life. Together, we can navigate challenges, uncover your strengths, and work towards goals. Your journey to self-discovery and healing is unique, and I'm here to guide your every step. Let's embark on this transformative path together, moving from pain to celebrating empowerment.
