Couples therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over five years of experience providing trauma-informed care and short-term therapy. I specialize in supporting frontline workers, helping professionals, and caregivers who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and work-life stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

Hi! I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. I have over 14 years of clinical experience in a wide range of settings, and doctoral training. I also have extensive experience working with adults. I bring a compassionate and warm approach to providing holistic, individualized and evidence-based treatment approaches. My clients appreciate my delicate and humorous style.

My approach blends psychodynamic therapy — exploring how our past shapes who we are — with cognitive behavioral techniques that help you shift patterns and take back control of your thoughts and choices. I meet clients where they are, offering a space of respect, understanding, and real conversation.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

“I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also much more than that. So are we all.” — James Baldwin

I believe therapy is the most successful when a relationship is formed between me and the client. Therefore, in addition to helping you cope with your mental health, I also try to focus on the relationship and what comes up in session live time.

How can I help? I offer a unique blend of empathy and real-world experience. I bridge the gap between psychological processing and practical skills to conquer lifes challenges. My background in both education and fire services provide an action-oriented approach that goes beyond theory into tangible growth. You can expect a collaborative partnership where your individual story is prioritized over a one-size-fits-all treatment. I will help you navigate life's overwhelming moments to create a better future. Schedule your free consultation today and lets get to work.

I am here to support you and create a safe, accepting space dedicated to your individual needs, whether you are seeking to process past or current experiences, learn coping techniques, challenge negative patterns, establish healthy boundaries, or improve your relationships.

It is natural and normal to sometimes feel confused, scared, angry, exhausted, lonely, empty, disconnected or overwhelmed by our ever changing life circumstances. The focus of our therapeutic collaboration will be to develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My person-centered philosophy focuses not only on life's struggles but building upon your strengths. I seek to develop a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, energetic, and meaningful.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally competent, trauma sensitive, body positive, and sex positive. My commitment is to help you to achieve balance, clarity and liberation.
