Multicultural Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I offer a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for clients. As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming clients. I know how important a good therapeutic experience is, as my own positive experiences in therapy inspired me to become a counselor.

When people experience life stressors and traumatic experiences, it is understandable for their lives to turn upside down. Do you suffer from constant anxiety that does not seem to go away? Do you struggle with negative thoughts that seem to ruin your mood and ultimately control your life? Do you suffer from depression and end up feeling hopeless about a better future? If this describes you, then you have come to the right place! My passion is to bring validation and healing to those who have encountered such impactful experiences. Any challenges you may be facing, we will work through them together. I promise, you are not alone.

I passionately enjoy working with diverse people “from all walks of life”— professionals, essential workers, parents, students, immigrants, artists, LGBTQA+ community members, caregivers, and allies to people experiencing medical or mental health issues. In therapy, we can appreciate your emotions, problem solve and cope with daily issues, change “undesirable” behaviors, cultivate physical and mental wellness, pursue life/work goals and satisfaction, and practice effective communication skills for interpersonal relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others.

I am clinical psychologist working with clients to achieve self-fulfillment through a range of techniques, including CBT, motivational interviewing, biofeedback, and multicultural frameworks. I offer compassionate therapy with the goal to wellness to find a more integrated way of living. After many years of helping people, I have found the true experience is to “know thyself”. I work with people, who are struggling with health issues, anxiety, and depression.

Locating a therapist can be a fearful and daunting process, however, once found can be rewarding as you begin to express your deepest and most personal story. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? Are you experiencing marital discord or dealing with a child who presents with attention difficulties, defiancy or truancy? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions and set limits for your children? Do you often feel overwhelmed and have noone to talk to? I look forward to helping you resolve your varied issues. Most of all I look forward to empowering you.

I work with both couples and individuals of all ages, and have a collaborative approach that leaves room for humor amidst intensity and gentleness amidst serious change. I have specialized experience providing sex therapy, LGBTQ+ support, Asian American culturally competent care, and counseling for multicultural identities and relationships. These therapeutic specialties further overlap with my passions for healthcare equity and activism for collective liberation. Clinical social work cannot merely be the bandaid that makes oppression easier to stomach; it should be part of the work that gets us free.

Are you struggling with loneliness? A lot of people I work with feel emotionally lonely, socially disconnected, and exhausted. They are often high-achieving perfectionists, who may appear to be doing great but, on the inside, they feel a deeper sense of despair. They believe or have been told they are “too much” or fear burdening others. This can manifest in disordered patterns of eating, compulsive exercise, and attending engagements out of obligation instead of enjoyment. Radically Open (RO) DBT, a new evidenced based treatment that targets emotional loneliness, teaches skills to increase flexibility and openness.
