Greenpoint & Telehealth

Adults, Families, Children

As a therapist I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery and healing. For me this is best realized when patient and therapist can work collaboratively, in a non-authoritarian and affirming way. Using radical acceptance and a strengths based perspective, my goal is to help patients build on existing social and emotional skills so they can navigate difficult periods in ways that promote self-esteem, growth and wellbeing.

I use a variety of modalities in session including psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, trauma theory, play therapy, family systems theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), I work with each person or family to find a treatment that will best fits their needs.

I enjoy working with a diverse group of patients and have particular interests in Depression, Anxiety, Adult ADHD, LGBTQI Issues, Cross Cultural Dynamics in Relationships, Low Self-Esteem, Relationship Issues, Trans-Generational Trauma and Gender and Identity Issues.
