Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Brooklyn, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School and completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Barnard College. My clinical training included work at several major New York City hospitals and psychiatric facilities, including Coney Island Hospital, Harlem Hospital, South Beach Psychiatric Center, and Beth Israel Center for Clinical Training and Research, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns.

In addition to my clinical work, I am the founder and Clinical Director of a private practice, where I supervise and mentor a diverse team of psychotherapists. My background also includes years of experience in education, community programming, and psychological research, which has shaped my sensitivity to the ways culture, family systems, identity, achievement, and environment impact emotional wellbeing.

I work with artists of all backgrounds regarding struggles around creativity and self expression. I offer an affirming, safe space for people who identify as POC and LGBTQIA+ to explore their identities and deconstruct their own narrative within the larger lens of society. I treat both individuals, and couples, ranging from ages 15-40+.

Creativity and mental health are deeply connected, and I've built my career at that intersection. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, a Distinguished Graduate of NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, and adjunct faculty there today.

I'm also a working standup comedian who has performed at Gotham Comedy Club and New York Comedy Club, so I know firsthand the pressure, rejection, unpredictable schedules, and big highs and lows that come with a creative life.

In 2014 I founded MetroNP, a boutique psychiatric practice in Manhattan's Gramercy/Flatiron neighborhood designed specifically for creative people. Our clients include artists, designers, actors, writers, students, and members of the LGBTQI+ community, people who want a provider who truly gets their world

I graduated from Duke University and received my PhD at New York University. I trained at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis and the Institute for Expressive Analysis. I've been immersed in psychodynamic treatment for years working with people of diverse ages & backgrounds struggling with trauma, depression, substance abuse, sexual difficulties, relationships problems, women's issues, among other concerns.

I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.

Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain that comes alive when spoken to a professional listener. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.
