I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State, practicing out of New York City. I work with adolescents and adults who experience a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, overthinking, procrastination, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and challenges related to identity and values. I also specialize in working with family members of individuals who suffer from severe mental illness.
I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor with an international background in clinical psychology and research.

I am also experienced in working with couples and the specific challenges they encounter in their relationship.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalyst in the Flatiron District of New York who specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, complex trauma, women's issues, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I enjoy working with adults of all ages who seek to understand and overcome self-defeating patterns, access inner resources and strengths, and connect to a deeper sense of self.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. I have over twenty years of experience working with a wide variety of clinical problems. I am most interested in working with individuals who are curious about themselves and who believe that they may find some relief from their struggles by examining their thoughts and feelings in the context of their relational history.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with Individual adults and adolescents, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity. I have an MSW degree from NYU, where I interned with a psychoanalytic institute. I also earned a BA in Philosophy from The New School.
Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, mood swings, trauma and anxiety attacks. When you approach the therapeutic process with curiosity, you can grow, heal, and thrive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers have training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals — they understand concerns like coming out, identity exploration, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and the ways these intersect with anxiety, depression, and trauma. You can look for providers who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and read their bios to learn about their approach before reaching out.
Brooklyn is home to a large and diverse community of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can still feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who shares your identity or background, offers both in-person and virtual sessions, or specializes in a specific area like couples therapy or medication management. A free phone consultation can help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
