About My Clients
The people I work with are usually juggling a lot. They're managing careers, relationships, families, and the weight of things they haven't had time or space to fully process. They're often high-functioning on the outside and struggling on the inside — and they've gotten good enough at holding it together that most people in their lives don't see the cost. Many of my clients come in at a turning point. A relationship is in trouble. A loss has cracked something open.
My Background and Approach
My Training and How I Work I'm a licensed master social worker (LMSW) and co-owner of Middle Way Psychotherapy in Brooklyn Heights. My clinical training spans several modalities, and the way I use them in practice reflects something I believe deeply: no single approach works for every person, and the best therapy happens when the tools serve the relationship rather than the other way around. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) I'm trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy originally developed for trauma and PTSD that has since shown effectiveness for anxiety, grief, phobias, and a range of conditions where distressing experiences remain unprocessed. EMDR works by engaging bilateral stimulation — typically eye movements — while a client holds a disturbing memory in mind, allowing the brain to reprocess the experience and reduce its emotional charge. What I find valuable about EMDR is that it can reach material that talk therapy alone sometimes can't.
