Personality Disorders Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! Welcome to Sex Positive Therapy! I am a sex positive therapist and supervisor working with a wide range of issues. I have been practicing since 2006 and worked with a wide range of issues. I am a unique and eclectic therapist that challenges my clients to move towards emotional/behavioral change and work on their core attachment issues. My areas of speciality are: Borderline Personality/Narcissistic Personality disorders, Trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, Abuse/DV, Gender/sexuality, ENM/Poly, Kink/BDSM, and/or LGBTQIA+ folx. My approach is client focused and collaborative and I see my work with clients as a journey we take together.

I firmly believe that the most curative aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I believe that all people are searching for a corrective emotional experience of some kind, and it is my primary role as therapist to provide the space and safety to make this experience possible. My approach to client work is gentle and compassionate and always non-judgmental. I draw from several therapeutic modalities in my work, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and CBT. I am adept at working with clients with mood, eating, and personality disorders, as well as issues related to developmental trauma and identity.
