Soft natural light in a calm, quiet room

It can feel daunting to get started.

Therapy can be a scary thing to consider - particularly for those of us who grew up believing, or knowing, that there is little room for error in life. We may carry shame about the patterns we developed while trying to survive and succeed, fear that it’s too late to change, or believe that the cost of letting go of old ways of operating is too high.

It is possible to change your life.

So often, people come to therapy when the tools and coping mechanisms they’ve used in the past stop working as well as they used to. You may not know how you want things to change, but you know something has to. We’ll work together in a trusting, collaborative environment to figure out what moving forward looks like for you.

My approach

A Psychodynamic and Relational Therapist in Brooklyn and NYC

Psychodynamic

How we respond to things now - the patterns we find ourselves in, how we show up, how we feel in relationships - is shaped by our early relationships: the needs we had met, the roles we were expected to play, implicitly or explicitly, and how we adapted around them. There is value in looking back to understand how we arrived where we are today.

How psychodynamic therapy differs from CBT

Relational

Relational work looks at where we are now to understand where we are now. How we feel and how we interact, including with each other in session, becomes a tool for growth and change. A healthy, trusting relationship, including the one between therapist and client, is a key foundation for that change, so we will pay attention to what you feel in the room, too.

Where to start

Individual and Couples Therapy

People come to therapy with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, questions of identity and family, or work that has started to cost too much. A few places to read more:
