Lesbian Therapists in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY
As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that is conducive to exploration without fear of judgment for both individuals and couples. We’re often isolated in our hurt, and more so when shame is present. The experience of struggle is something we all face, but the choice to face it and exist with our vulnerability is where our innate strength and capacity to thrive emerges.

I approach my therapeutic practice through an anti-oppressive lens with a combination of psychodynamic, humanistic, and relational theories. Oftentimes, words alone cannot fully capture a feeling, or experience, nor can they allow us to fully process our traumas. For those who are interested, I offer Art Therapy and EMDR Therapy to facilitate a more wholistic approach to your therapeutic journey. Additionally, as a queer, brown woman, I have a particular interest in supporting others who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+.

We'll identify meaningful therapeutic goals based on your needs and tangible steps to reach them. I'm an active therapist who provides feedback and invites yours fully.

Has your life taken a sharp, unexpected turn at a terrible time? Or maybe you just feel yourself drifting off the path you're traveling and are having difficulty getting back on track. Your vision may be cloudy and that can intensify the amount of distress you feel in your pursuit to returning to your previous level of functioning. What can be even scarier is not knowing when exactly you lost control of the steering wheel or who to rely on in your time of need.

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, overwhelming emotions, and feeling stuck with where they are. My clients often find themselves disconnected from others due to fear that they won’t be understood. Some have dealt with years of anxiety, depression, and trauma, making it difficult to imagine feeling better. Whatever you are going through, you don’t have to do it alone. Our work can help with finding your way through challenging times with greater appreciation of your own innate strength and a newfound perspective of what it means to create a life that is fulfilling and worth living.

I have had a lifelong passion for sexual health and believe it can be an integral part of our well-being. I hope to help people surmount any obstacles to engaging in the sex they want to have, whether that be due to anxiety or depression, body image or self-esteem issues, challenges with relationships or desire, questions of identity, or sexual difficulties after trauma or STI diagnosis. My goal is to help clients overcome the taboo of talking about sex and sexuality, to free themselves from the sexual shame and stigma that is inherent in our society, and to aid people in finding pleasure in themselves, their bodies, and each other.

Connection. It’s what we are all looking for. Connection with ourselves. Connection with others. But how do we achieve that in a world that constantly forces us to disconnect in order to survive? To numb out, to run from conflict, to judge, to avoid our vulnerability. Our vulnerability is what makes us beautiful. Let’s get back to that beauty. Whether you’re struggling with romantic relationships, work and family stress, or trying to cope with the multiple crises happening around the world, I’m here to support you. I’ve been a therapist for more than a decade and have helped hundreds of people just like you.
