Teletherapy for Downtown - Brooklyn, NY

Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately. I teach and practice psychoanalysis.

Are you suffering from anxiety, navigating relationship issues, work stress or family issues? I know what it is to deal with these and much more.

No one would be able to tell that something is wrong just by looking at you. In fact, on the outside, it might look like you are doing great, even thriving. Or maybe it feels as if the things that are bothering you are not that big of a deal in comparison to others. Sometimes, we struggle to put the most painful thoughts, feelings and experiences into words, and so begins the process of psychotherapy. The language of mental health has become commonplace, but how a person experiences mental distress is unique. I can help put language to experience and connect with your authentic self in a meaningful way.

Famed poet Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony then bearing an untold story inside you”. I believe we all have untold stories and these life stories can produce emotional discomforts and become a source of unresolved pain.

I completed certification in Couples Therapy and specialize in work with couples. Currently, I am pursuing certification as a sex therapist to help couples better address their sexual life.
