Teletherapy for 10010

We all have strengths that make us unique, and in my therapy practice I strive to help clients identify their skills to set realistic goals for themselves. I have been in practice since 2013 primarily in community mental health settings, and I have worked closely with adults, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with challenges that include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression and anger, grief and trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, gender identity, LGBTQ issues, emotion regulation, low self-esteem, poor concentration, poor body image, career transitions and life stage adjustment.

The therapeutic relationship is a sacred interpersonal bond built on trust. Together, we’ll co-create a space to overcome your obstacles, shift lifestyle or behavioral patterns, and tap into your innate capacity for resilience. I view my work through an anti-oppressive social justice lens, which will deepen your understanding of how your environment, your family, and your community can impact you. We may explore anything from the trickle down effect of workplace stress, to the impact of media violence on children, or anything else that may be on your mind.

Relationships can be challenging, but you don't have to muscle through by yourself. I specialize in clients who have a hard time forming close relationships or feel lost and depleted in existing ones. If you feel difficulty in coming close, expressing your needs and having them met, and/or setting healthy boundaries, I can help you by offering tools and a path of clarity. Many of my clients struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, imposter syndroms, and/or fears of abandonment that impact their ability to form healthy connections. I have significant experience with non-conventional relationships such as LGBTQ+, ENM, and Poly.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck or with the sense that you are just going through the motions and simply existing? I can help guide you to participate more fully in life and reach your maximum potential. We will work collaboratively to increase self-awareness, identify recurring patterns, and minimize maladaptive behaviors through the use of coping skills and resources at hand. With insight, confidence and tools in hand, you will be better equipped to effectively navigate through various road bumps in life and stop getting in your own way. I'm very collaborative, directive and strengths-based in my work with clients.

Do you find it difficult to turn your brain off? Are you afraid that if other people could see how your mind worked they would think you were crazy or weird? Do you think about past events over and over again? I'm here to help. Together, we will untangle some of those thoughts so that they are less overwhelming. It's scary and exhausting having so much on your mind - I get it! Together we're going to untangle it all and get you enjoying your life again.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns you don’t need to struggle alone. Therapy with me is a relationship where you can feel free to be (and discover) who you are. Together we create a space where you can speak openly to examine present and past, so that your desires for the future can be fulfilled. In our work you can expect to gain insight into underlying narratives and beliefs that are shaped by a unique personal history, learn new skills that alleviate suffering, heal, notice increased confidence and reduced conflict. When your perspective shifts so does the way others relate to you.

If you don't do it, it won't get done. Everything is on you. Lately, you don't even ask, because what's the point? You are exhausted and feel like you are the only one trying. You feel taken for granted. You are sick of having the same fight every week. You've tried saying it calmly, you've yelled, you've cried...yet you continue to feel stuck. But regardless, it goes in one ear and out the other. You can't even remember how the last fight started or what it was about. You wonder "Am I asking for too much?"

Hi beautiful people! Need support from feeling unseen or navigating a world in which your identities are not affirmed? I'm here to support you in further harnessing your intuitive voice, as well as providing a space to explore your past, current, and potential future. As a Black/Queer/Neurodivergent provider, I am dedicated to helping you synthesize memories and experiences of your life, and how these moments might be informing your identities today. I am deeply invested in you and think of our relationship as a collaborative one in which we both discover and explore what affirms you and makes you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am an Indigenous (Laguna Pueblo) and Filipina therapist working with clients with histories of trauma, grief and loss, and establishing and growing healthy relationships. When you work with me, I allow you to set the tone of our therapy journey. Together, we explore what is the concern bringing you in and how you’d like it to be different in the future. Once we know where we’ve come from and where we are going, we can explore how we get there.

Did getting to this page take you a while to finally do? Let's face it, therapy can be really intimidating, especially if we've had a bad experience or have never been before. I can promise you my style of therapy is the furthest thing from intimidating. I want to hear you out, be with you in what you're processing, and make it less painful with more gains. In my office, we'll laugh, get real, and walk through whatever it is you need. It's my belief that we're not meant to go through life with an "it is what it is" mindset. It truly doesn't have to be, if you're wanting change we're going to find a way to get there together.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

Are you secretly miserable? Struggling with perfectionism? Do you find yourself excessively worrying, overthinking, & trying to get everything right? Do you have a hard time saying no, using your voice, or setting boundaries? Do you put other people's needs before your own? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed & pressured to have it all together. Have you tried to figure out where you’re getting stuck & the usual ways of coping with the pressure are no longer working? Shame, conflict in your relationships, & uncertainty about your future only add to your distress. You are sick & tired & know you need to make a change. I can help.

Psychotherapy is ultimately about achieving a deeper understanding of the self, articulating the issues one struggles with and creating a pathway towards change. It can be a challenge to shape our futures and to find the right therapist with whom you can establish a meaningful connection. Navigating the kinds of questions keeping you up at night means finding someone you can trust. Someone with whom you can co-create a judgement-free, compassionate, empathetic landscape. I’m interested in finding out if we can build that kind of dynamic together.

Feeling consumed or overwhelmed by difficult to manage emotions? Can't turn off your racing thoughts? Feeling stuck and struggling to make important decisions? I have experience helping people ages 12-65 improve communication in their relationships, heal from past trauma, and learn how to better cope with negative emotions and stress so they can regain control of their lives. I provide my clients with concrete, valuable tools, as well as a greater understanding into their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that contribute to self-defeating patterns and conflicted relationships.

I welcome inquiries from individuals and couples seeking to improve their emotion regulation, communication skills, relationships; process difficult emotions and memories; increase their coping, time and stress management skills; and bolster their sleep hygiene and health. I am particularly open to working with people who feel stifled by the current political climate, those who fear being (or have been) silenced or "cancelled," as well as persons of faith. I am licensed to practice in the states of Maine, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

I am a psychodynamic therapist who is here to help clients navigate and cope with life’s stressors. I appreciate being able to be present with clients throughout vulnerable times in their lives to help them move forward in the face of adversity.
