I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.

I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers have training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals — they understand concerns like coming out, identity exploration, discrimination, relationship dynamics, and the ways these intersect with anxiety, depression, and trauma. You can look for providers who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and read their bios to learn about their approach before reaching out.

Brooklyn is home to a large and diverse community of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can still feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who shares your identity or background, offers both in-person and virtual sessions, or specializes in a specific area like couples therapy or medication management. A free phone consultation can help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.

Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
