Therapists in New York

I am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) with experience working with patients across a range of populations facing a variety of presenting problems. I approach therapy from a psychodynamic perspective, focusing on the impact of internal psychic processes, relationships, and sense of self on the way we process and engage with the world around us. I believe that each individual is unique, and as such, my approach to treatment is specific to the needs of each patient.

Life’s journey features many complex and dynamic processes. How we come to learn about ourselves and understand life around us is key in how we experience it. It is my belief that self-care with the purpose of healing and self discovery can radically improve our experience navigating everyday life and have powerful impacts in the world around us. Informed by principles of social justice and anti-oppression, I offer a space to work with you as an individual in context of communities that you are a part of and are important to you. My practice integrates psychodynamic, cognitive and mindfulness techniques.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

My ideal client is a fresh face to therapy, ready to take a leap of faith and invest in their wellness. They are the young adults transitioning through life, navigating adulthood, parenthood, breakups, intimacy, self worth, family pressures and much more. My clients are brave, genuine, and vulnerable as they show up with the goal of achieving a better understanding and acceptance of their emotions, identity and direction. Anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships with self/others and support exploring emotional vulnerability are common areas of concerns with my clients.

Psychotherapy is a collaboration between patient and therapist designed to help the patient resolve problems and live a more satisfying life. My first task is helping patients feel as comfortable as possible to speak about what is troubling them. To this end, I offer a non-judgmental, accepting, and professional approach to treatment. I am a highly trained and experienced psychologist in private practice in Cobble Hill Brooklyn. I supervise and teach therapists-in-training. My training and experience have helped me to listen deeply and empathically as well as to offer steady commitment, caring, and concern to my patients

Looking for help to navigate life's challenges and achieve lasting positive change? Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I will be dedicated to helping you identify and resolve discrepancies between present circumstances and future goals.

Do you need to move forward in your life? I can help you to understand how the negative beliefs you hold about yourself may be preventing you from taking the steps you need to take in your personal life or career. I work hard to help my clients feel heard, understood, and safe in my office, recognizing that it is only in the context of a warm and nonjudgmental relationship that it is possible to explore the most difficult issues in a person's life--issues both unique to each individual and, in some sense, common to all of us as human beings.

The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself and open to the world. In my practice, I have seen countless times how a strong patient-therapist relationship can be a life-changing resource. I'm deeply invested in understanding why you're in my office today—whether due to dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, or a bleak self-image—while simultaneously helping you locate the more capable and resourceful parts of your identity. My style is warm, curious but also candid and direct. I trust that my patients have come to me because they can handle (and need) honesty.

He has experience working with clients around issues of intimate/relational aggression and other forms of acting out, as well as sexual and non-sexual trauma, internalized stigma, and pressured masculinity.

Do you ever wonder why you react the way you do in certain situations, or why anxiety seems to linger no matter what you do? As a psychodynamic therapist I am dedicated to helping you uncover the root of distress through exploration of past, present, and future so that you can build the life and relationship you want. Most people come to me looking for guidance with career and life goals, relationship decisions, and relief from anxiety and overall stuck-ness.

If you're navigating the complexities of identity, facing anxiety or depression, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself in a world that often feels limiting, you're not alone. My ideal clients are individuals at the intersections of LGBTQ+ identities, racial and cultural backgrounds, facing unique stressors and challenges. They're looking for a space where they're seen, heard, and understood—where their identity is validated and their experiences are acknowledged. They aspire to heal, grow, and find balance in their lives, seeking empowerment to live authentically and fully.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a daunting task. It is difficult to make changes and break unhealthy patterns and anxiety and depression can feel crippling. Therapy can play a large role in helping individuals lead happier, more productive lives. We all face challenges but with the proper support, your challenges do not need to define you or stop you from achieving happiness and success. I believe in treating each patient as an individual. While my orientation is primarily psychodynamic I also use Emotionally Focused Tapping (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling in loud and quiet ways. I have a warm, down-to-earth style and years of experience with a range of issues including relationship and intimacy difficulties, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, personality disorders, and emotional disturbance in children and adolescents. Recognizing that insight is sometimes not enough, my approach combines exploration with more active interventions. I have an extensive background in psychodynamic, DBT, family systems, play and couples therapy, and carefully tailor treatments to each patient's needs.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are natural responses to feeling you can't control parts of your life. Often regaining control feels like it requires giving up something else, whether it is time with family and friends, your passions, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you shouldn’t have to give up the best parts of your life to just survive. No matter how you got here, you are the expert on yourself. My responsibility is to create a supportive and attentive space where you can gain perspective and resume growth.

I work with adults and couples to explore the life experiences that have brought them to the present moment. I particularly enjoy working with artists and creatives to help uncover deep-rooted issues that prevent sustained contentment in their life and work. Each person comes with their own unique history which shapes how they perceive and respond to the world around them. As an eclectic practitioner, I use a psychodynamic, humanistic, and mindfulness-based approach to help you look back in order to move forward. The goal of our work together is for you to find grounding and fulfillment in your life and relationships.
