Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Mind Brain Body Collective, LLC and Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services, PLLC. Alongside my clinical work, I consult with wellness professionals—therapists, coaches, and healers—who want to build a practice that’s sustainable, ethical, and actually supports their life (instead of draining it).
I bring years of real-world experience across outpatient and inpatient settings, plus a long history of running groups, workshops, and trainings throughout NYC. That blend—clinical depth + leadership + systems thinking—helps you translate what you already do well into a clear niche, strong messaging, solid boundaries, and practical operations that hold up under real-world pressure. Whether you’re early in private practice or leading a growing group practice, we’ll focus on the pieces that create true stability—so you can build a thriving, values-driven team culture and stay financially sound in today’s economy: pricing and compensation structures, sustainable caseload targets, client flow and conversions, consult and intake systems, retention, policies and boundaries, leadership and team support, audit and billing protocols, and the day-to-day operations that reduce chaos and burnout.
My therapeutic approach is highly integrative and personal—rooted in evidence-based frameworks (CBT/DBT, relational, psychodynamic) and informed by whole-person thinking. In consultation, that translates into grounded, strategic guidance that accounts for your identity, values, energy, capacity, and the realities of the world you’re practicing in—not generic business advice or influencer templates. I’m warm, direct, and collaborative: we’ll get clear on what you want, identify what’s getting in the way, and build a plan you can actually implement.
My background includes specialized training in LGBTQIA+, serious mental illness, Autism Spectrum Disorders/Neurodiversity, and perinatal and student populations. I’ve delivered developmentally disability/intellectual disability social services, in-home crisis services, and couples and family services, and for many years I used my outgoing personality to run groups, workshops, and parent-trainings for clients in every NYC borough. Clinically, I have extensive experience working with those diagnosed and/or suffering from anxiety and panic disorders, depression and mood disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity and non-specified learning disorders, Complex/PTSD, schizophrenia, psychosis, personality disorders, Autism Spectrum and Developmental Disorders and Intellectual Disabilities, as well as comorbid diagnoses, in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings.
My modality of psychotherapy is highly integrative, combining traditional psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), and interpersonal/relational therapies to customize our work to your needs. I also have intensive training and/or certification in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Dr. Sue Johnson, Horneyian Therapy (based on the work of Karen Horney), Ericksonian Hypnosis, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Schema Therapy, Trauma Art Narrative Therapy (TANT), Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. In my opinion, not every problem is a nail—so why have only one hammer? I’m deeply interested in merging evidence-based therapies with alternative “new-wave” therapies, including the growing intersection of western neuropsychology and eastern philosophies. And no, I don’t just ask how you’re feeling and tell you to breathe more (though breathing is a good thing to do!).
As a clinician, I take a comprehensive approach to improving overall health, considering culture, identity, systems, environment, nutrition, pharmacology, current events, and physical health. My personal interests and research focus on diverse and underrepresented populations, including creative or taboo subcultures, intersecting minority identities, and non-traditional lifestyles and identities. As a native New Yorker, that cultural fluency supports my completely non-judgmental, open-minded, no-BS approach.
Values matter to me—and they’re at the core of my professional endeavors. I’m committed to actively resisting the corporatization of healthcare, the monopolization of web-based algorithms by tech companies, and the intrusion of capitalistic oligarchs into our altruistic profession. While some business involvement is essential for running a practice efficiently, I’m dedicated to combating these developments in concrete ways: profits are funneled back into enhancing staff welfare, fostering clinical growth, organizing community gatherings, and contributing to minority-owned enterprises. I aim to reduce corporate impact by promoting a genuine online presence and outstanding clinical care grounded in ethical principles and human decency. If you’re ready for consultation support that’s sharp, human, and aligned, I’d love to help you build something that lasts.
