In Person Therapists in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY

In a fast paced world, I strongly believe in the importance of mind-body connection and its impact on the emotional experience and well being. As an advanced clinical intern at Columbia University, with degrees in Psychology, Criminal Justice and Africana Studies, I will provide culturally competent care and use a non-pathologizing approach that is strength based and affirming. I am a sex-positive and LGBTQ-affirming, minority woman who recognizes that all individuals are situated within the larger social and political context of their lives. My work is holistic and integrative. Honoring all of the interrelated facets of well-being.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? You're not alone. Taking the step to explore support demonstrates courage and a commitment to your well-being.

What would it be like to see yourself more clearly? If you struggle with old emotional patterns, it may show up now in all kinds of ways! You may be feeling like you're not "enough," finding it difficult to make room for life outside of you being the overachiever, or just not knowing who you actually are. These conflicts may also show up in your body, as well as in the way you treat it. Maybe you have headaches, chronic lower back pain, difficulty nourishing yourself, or have a fraught relationship with how you look. We collaborate and figure out how to make you an active participant in your healing and get you back in your life.

Together, we will explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors and work through challenging or influential memories to better understand yourself and others, and work toward your desired change and growth.

As a Relational Psychoanalyst we will work together to explore yourself in depth and create new meaning in your life.

In my over 20 plus years of training, studying, writing, thinking, theorizing, and practicing psychotherapy, I’ve come to understand that the experience of feeling deeply seen, heard and listened to is what facilitates change in us and in our relationships. This may sound simple, but for many of us these seemingly basic human tenants have not been upheld. The process of learning to locate oneself for oneself can be a complex undertaking. It is a unique experience for each individual evolving over time and trust. I have a deep belief in the powerful shifts that this process can bring to our lived experience.

Are you feeling like no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something holding you back from your most joyful, peaceful and authentic life? I believe that your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved, but actually contains within it the exact wisdom you need to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I’m interested in helping you access that wisdom - in gently getting to the root of what has been missing for you on the level of mind, body, and spirit. I firmly believe that we’re all wired to heal, and that it is entirely possible to resolve the core wounds and patterns that are holding you back.

I believe that growth and well-being come from learning to understand ourselves in new, deeper ways that allow us to reflect on the impact of our world and the intersectionality of our identity. Our therapeutic relationship is built collaboratively and creates an accepting, inclusive, non-judgmental and trusting environment where, together, we will explore and gain new insights into you - empowering you in your daily life, while fostering personal growth and well-being. My work is person-centered, holistic, and takes an integrative approach, informed by neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic work and trauma-informed modalities.

We all experience "stuckness" sometimes and feel disconnected from those we love most. Maybe you find yourself revisiting the same old territory in your mind on a loop, and find that it is hard to make a change on your own. Or maybe you have faced a moment of rupture in a close relationship, and find your world torn apart. Perhaps you are noticing unhelpful patterns in yourself or your relationships, and are now feeling ready to explore them. Or you might find yourself avoiding social situations, even though you have a sense it might help you feel better.

whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling stuck, therapy is the place to address and unpack the impediments in your life and to develop the skills to attain and achieve the life you hope to live. I am dedicated to meeting my clients where they are at emotionally and using evidence-based practices to help them move to where they want to be. As a transgender therapist, my goal is to see all my clients understand and embrace who they are and who they want to be.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I work with people who are struggling with a variety of problems including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relational difficulties and trauma.

Informed by my previous work in documentary film and neuropsychology research, I bring together the art and the science of multiple people-centered professions. Whether in a research lab, film edit, or therapy room, I am guided by the belief that change happens as we come to understand ourselves in new and deeper ways. When we see ourselves clearly and allow ourselves to be seen by others, we become free to choose something different. From this place of knowing and being known, we will walk together into a new way of being.
