Art Therapy in Brooklyn, NY

Are you struggling with feeling connected to yourself and others? Do you find yourself feeling chronically unsatisfied with your day to day life? In a world that demands so much juggling of chores and responsibilities, you've found that your feelings of joy seemed to have gotten lost. Good news, I can help! Together, we can unearth the parts of you that have been lost, bring clarity, and rediscover your strengths. I offer both talk therapy and art therapy.

Do you feel anxious or detached, lost in your relationships, or spread too thin? You likely have insight to your obstacles but may feel overwhelmed or trapped when it comes to making reliable change. I'll help you foster a flexible, more fulfilling relationship with yourself by getting curious about your own needs. Together we’ll differentiate automatic reactions from your genuine desires. I welcome clients, including LGBTQA+ and BIPOC folks, coping with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief & loss, perfectionism, burnout, and the emotional effects of complex relationships and trauma.

Clients I work with are often experiencing feelings of instability, rigidity, and isolation. I work to establish trust and introduce art as a creative tool to support goals of building self-awareness and relational skills. People who need support can come to me to co-create adaptive strategies to manage stress, overwhelm, and hopelessness.

I work with clients by offering psychotherapy integrated with art-making and/or evidence-based practices (CBT & EMDR Therapy). Together, we creatively explore your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and set goals. Treatment can address: anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, sexual assault, violence, abuse, PTSD, performance anxiety, or other stress-related issues. Past traumas and adverse events create negative self-beliefs that are maladaptive and impact each of us presently. Through a non-judgmental and compassionate lens, I hope to work with you and begin the process of healing creatively.

My goal as a therapist is to support you in becoming the person you want to be. I'll work with you towards finding ways to improve your life in the direction you choose.
