Psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis in Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Depression, anxiety, and existential issues can be debilitating. Through psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, we can work together to understand your problems and ease your suffering and pain. I offer non-judgmental, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health care that will help you explore your emotions, find the roots of your problems, help you understand yourself better, and gain insight about your past and present in order to improve your mood and behaviors in the future. I have studied Freudian and post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory and clinical psychoanalysis at The New School for Social Research and the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. I look forward to applying my knowledge in our work together.

F.A.Q.
How this works
I work with adults on an individual basis. I conduct sessions at a minimum of once-a-week. I see patients in-person (at my office in Williamsburg) or digitally (over Zoom). While therapy unfolds differently for everyone, we will start each session by talking about what’s on your mind.
Insurance, Rates, & Sliding Scale
I am currently an in-network provider for Emblem GHI. I can process out-of-network benefits for most other insurance plans. Before our first consultation, I will run an eligibility check to make sure we can proceed. My full fee per session is $300. With insurance, your out-of-pocket costs will likely range from $50-$150 per session. In certain cases, I can work on a sliding scale basis.
Billing & Cancellation policy
I send my invoices by email on the first of the month, every month. I accept payment by check, Venmo, CashApp, and ApplePay.
Patients are expected to pay the full fee of missed sessions. Sessions may be rescheduled on a case-by-case basis.
Preparing for our first session
By starting this process, you’ve already done the hardest part.If our first consultation is scheduled over Zoom, please make sure you are somewhere quiet and private, as privacy is extremely important to the therapeutic process.
Consultation
Our first consultation will be a free 45-minute session in which I ask questions to assess the appropriateness of future work together. If I think psychotherapy or psychoanalysis with me is the right path for you, we can talk about how to start treatment. We can also schedule more consultations if needed.
