Tired of not living fully. Learn tools to be more engaged and present with your life and the people in it. One such tool is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of directing your attention away from habitual thoughts(lists, judgements, negative self talk)and toward experiencing the present(where your life is actually being lived). I believe in the power of this work. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships and addictions can be products of molding to others' ideas of who you "should" be. I will work with you to uncover who you want to be.

In therapy, establishing a strong rapport and a collaborative relationship with you is central to my approach, because it is ultimately you who holds the essential knowledge of Self. Individuals and problems are unique; sometimes solution oriented approaches are warranted, and other times insight and exploration help to provide clarification and relief. With support, compassion, and curiosity, you can begin to expand a self-awareness that will help you live authentically.

I believe shared humor and relational connection are key for effective therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are, with a grounded, pragmatic approach. Together, we will collaborate to make your daily life more manageable and fulfilling by addressing outdated coping skills, self-sabotaging behaviors, overwhelming emotions, stressful situations, and lingering traumas. I also offer coaching services for professionals, those in the healthcare/wellness field, and graduate students. I enjoy supporting clients through the processes of self-development, self-innovation, radical acceptance, and growth.

Many of us long for deeper attachments, more intimate understanding from those around us, and new skills. Yet we can find ourselves avoiding the commitments and the profound effort that developing these require. We avoid hard work--physical, mental, or emotional. Seeking therapy and change requires courage and diligence. You are not lazy. However, you might be confounded by the barriers of fear, exhaustion, pain, or habit. My goal is to listen keenly and compassionately. I want to know your personal story, and I want you to feel understood and supported in your transformation.

Collective Liberation, Couples, Queer, Neurodivergence, Sexuality, Gender, Self-Esteem, Adult Parent/Child, Childhood Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Postpartum, Poly, Anxiety, Existential Grief. Life is a wild ride. There are conflicting feelings, beliefs and stories that we tell ourselves and that are told to us. Navigating the systems of the external world along with our internal and relational worlds is often overwhelming, exhausting and painful. Relating spaciously and curiously with differing parts of self and excavating old narratives can help in honoring all of who we are and invite permission to create and relate in new ways.

Hi, I'm AL - a queer, multiracial Latine, non-monogamous, creative therapist and coach. Therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you don't have to have it all figured out when we begin - whether you're new to therapy or looking for a new fit. My goal is to create a space where you can bring your whole self - all the parts of you that feel messy, "too much", or hard to name - and know that they're welcome here. I am passionate about supporting clients in identity formation/exploration, and especially those who live somewhere in the LGBTQIA2+, BIPOC, multiracial, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous/poly spectrums.

Most couples who find their way here have already tried talking it through — and keep ending up in the same place. The problem usually isn't effort or intention. It's that they're missing a framework built on what actually works. I'm a Gottman Method Level 3 practitioner with 15 years teaching communication at NYU Tisch. I work with couples navigating conflict, emotional distance, eroded trust, and affair recovery — and with individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions.

Hello! I believe the power of therapy lies in improving your relationship to the world, the people close to you, and ultimately to yourself. I use our relationship as our guide in your journey to heal, transform, and navigate life's challenges. While I provide therapy to people from all walks of life, I especially enjoy working with gay, lesbian, queer, trans, and nonbinary individuals and people of color. In therapy together, we will create an affirming space to understand what's going on for you, reflect on the factors contributing to your current needs, and explore ways to move forward.

I am a licensed psychotherapist providing psychotherapy for adult individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I offer both time-limited and open-ended therapy. I work collaboratively with clients using cognitive behavioral therapy and belief re-patterning. I believe that personal transformation is about getting out of one's own way to create a life you want to live and be the person you want to be.

My ideal client is someone who wants to change their life for the better, and understands that work is needed to make that change, and it will take patience, and persistence to make things pay off. Someone that is struggling to make the choices they really want to make but need a extra push to understand the reasons they haven't yet lived the life they have always dreamt of. They want to be happy and live life comfortably in their own skin, and have relationships and connections with others that are fulfilling and satisfying.

Anyone can experience challenges beyond their understanding and ability to manage which induce stress, anxiety, depression and conflict. One may have reached a puzzling crossroads in life, one may be at odds with oneself and others, or one may want more authenticity in life. One may even have been wounded during childhood. Sometimes all we know is something is missing or wrong and we've exhausted the options to meet the challenges. Psychotherapy can help, and the results come naturally from a real and trustworthy relationship with a caring and skilled psychotherapist who can walk with you through your journey of self discovery.

Life comes with a lot of challenges and adversity that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Maybe you're noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and unfulfilled or you know you'd be happier if you made changes but it feels too difficult. It’s possible to feel better. My clients discover that it's possible to manage their difficult feelings and be more engaged in their relationships. With over ten years of experience, I work with people who want to make changes in their lives, learn healthy coping strategies, heal past trauma, and improve their relationships with others.

I’m not a distant or overly analytical therapist — I show up fully with my clients. Being real, emotionally attuned, and present creates the kind of connection that fosters healing.
Many of the men I work with feel angry, disconnected, or burdened by expectations of who they’re “supposed” to be. They may struggle with equality in relationships, feel stuck in rigid roles, or lash out when what they really want is closeness. These patterns can feel isolating — but they’re workable. In therapy, I help men explore what’s beneath the anger, discover new ways of relating, and find strength in vulnerability rather than defensiveness.

I help teens and adults who feel stuck in patterns in their relationships, anxiety, trauma, or emotional distress, struggling with interpersonal relationships, childhood attachment wounds, or OCD. They seek a supportive space to heal, build resilience, and develop coping skills. Their goals include managing intense emotions, overcoming fears, and improving their relationship with themself and others around them. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, I help them create lasting, meaningful change and regain a sense of balance. I believe in the power of relationships, starting with the therapeutic relationship.

Over 17 years practicing has affirmed my belief that most of the emotional wounding and on-going pain, difficulties, confusion and “stuckness” plaguing individuals, and the relational problems of couples can move and improve significantly in psychotherapy with a warm, intelligent, highly attuned, interactive, and skilled psychotherapist. I work hard at creating a safe, reliable and connected therapeutic relationship, in which the client feels comfortable, seen, understood and accepted for who they are, communicated with honestly and directly, and free to drive the focus, pace and intensity as feels right to them.

Feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, depleted, and/or unsure how to move forward? Perhaps you're managing challenges with relationships, work, caregiver responsibilities, transitions, health issues, grief, and/or other aspects of life.
Therapy is a space to slow down, reflect, and find clarity and support. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel safe, supported, and understood. Together, we’ll build insight and use your strengths to develop practical, evidence-based skills to help you navigate challenges more successfully, achieve your goals, and move forward with more ease and confidence.

I work with BIPOC adults and couples impacted by childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I support have built meaningful lives and relationships, yet despite their best efforts, something still isn't working. Some may be exhausted from constantly being “on” and carrying so much alone. In relationships, it can feel difficult to receive love, trust themselves, or feel truly understood. They may grapple with fear or find that rest is out of reach. Many want more than symptom relief; they want to enjoy the life and relationships they've worked so hard to build.

I am a clinical psychologist with an affectionate heart for therapy. Beyond my doctoral training, I received years of advanced therapy training from the best trainers in the field. Since 2007, I have worked with an exceptionally wide range of cultural backgrounds and therapy needs, ranging from brief adjustment issues to serious mental illness. Many of my clients have told me that they appreciate my way of accurately understanding them and their situation, my ability to point out the core human experience in a way that that really stays on their mind, and my presence as a human being that provides warm support.
