Experiential Therapy in Brooklyn, NY
The changes of our time contain challenges calling for new forms of expression to strengthen the fibers of our social contract. The therapeutic journey is not only about the mind, it includes the full spirit as well as the body, integrating contexts of both past and present realities. This process invites a sense of familiarity that provides relief from suffering in isolation. This space offers a reconditioning of how we process information creating new pathways of understanding to co-construct questions of ethics, empathy, and imagination that include the nuanced fragilities of our shared stories.

Have your previous experiences with therapy left you not quite satisfied? Did simply talking about your difficulties seem to lose its impact after a while? Or perhaps you feel like you stayed with a therapist for longer than you wished without much improvement? If you deeply desire personal growth and are motivated to dedicate energy towards achieving it, true lasting change is within reach. Using Internal Family Systems therapy, Jessica will assist you in moving beyond the painful patterns you have already talked through and shine new awareness on what lies beneath.

I am glad you are here. We often seek therapy when they feel stuck or struggling in life, uncertain how to free ourselves to continue the journey. Maybe you resort to problematic behaviors to cope. It's easy to become overwhelmed, especially for those dealing with sadness, anxiety, illness, relational problems, work stress, separation, life changes, parenting, and trauma. Therapy offers you the space to strengthen your self esteem, improve communication or intimacy in relationships, slow down emotional reactivity, or stop repeating self-destructive cycles so that you may express your true potential and have a more fulfilling life.

Do you feel like you are never quite doing enough? Maybe you feel numb and burnt out but don’t know how to let yourself stop or relax. You may have trouble accessing your emotions, or you notice that you’re often on an emotional rollercoaster that gets in the way of being fully present to your life. If you feel trapped by uncertainty, cycling thoughts, self-criticism, making decisions, intense emotions, relationships, or trauma symptoms - you have come to the right place. My therapeutic process seeks to understand who you are, who you want to be, and how we can tap into your inner wisdom to enact the change you desire.

Life can be both beautiful & messy. I'm humbled & honored to help you sort through it! We each uniquely form our conscious & subconscious schemas and belief systems about ourselves, others, and the world at large since our earliest stages in life. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. Yet we can also feel validated & gain from others' shared experiences, perspectives, and support. One thing all humans universally experience is the capacity for love, joy, pain, and everything else in between. You are not alone!

In my eyes, one of the most powerful aspects of therapy is the relationship that forms between the therapist and the client. The process of establishing a safe and supportive partnership makes room for us to collaborate on rewarding emotional work. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported along your journey of self-discovery, and to help you find resilience, authenticity, healing, and self-love. My approach begins with warmth and having an open-mind. I am here to help guide you towards the goals that you set for yourself.

Are you often self-critical, with a negative or harsh voice in your head? Do you experience shame, “not good enough-ness”, and unworthiness? Maybe you’ve had these feelings and thoughts for a long time, learned from past traumatic experiences or an unsupportive environment you grew up in. These experiences are painful and can stop you from living a more rewarding life. If this sounds familiar, I understand and I’m here to help. I specialize in working with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, sexuality, and gender.

The best psychotherapy is a working partnership that honors our innate healing abilities. Within the context of a caring and respectful relationship, therapy can create opportunities to resolve past pain, balance emotions, and experience the spontaneous joy and energetic flow we were born with. I love working with clients who prefer a collaborative therapeutic relationship, who are willing to do the work of healing (between-session “field work” is assigned regularly), who are comfortable with, or curious about, a nonlinear approach (rather than strictly cognitive or “talk therapy”).

Trauma can perpetuate loneliness and prevent you from connecting with yourself and others. I help clients work on increasing self-esteem by building self-compassion and self-acceptance. I also use the therapeutic relationship as a way to experience positive connection. This relational work is often a starting point to a sense of well-being and belonging outside of the therapy room. As a facilitator and companion in this process, I will support you on your path towards healing and creating a life that honors and reflects your truest self. Being in a safe, compassionate space can facilitate this process.

Our strongest reactions have roots in the past. We can't change difficult situations of the past but we can work together to understand how you have been impacted and work through challenges in the present. My goal is to work with you to uncover your true potential and innate healing. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, in a warm and supportive environment, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and/or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing healthier relationships and a happier, more fulfilling life today.

Hello, and welcome to my page! I work with people who have a wide variety of conditions stemming from relational and environmental stress. I believe that we are naturally programmed to heal, but often we rely on past coping skills that are no longer functional, and this blocks the path to healing. I think every symptom once served a purpose and that change can occur by looking at how and why these symptoms developed, while at the same time trying new behaviors.
