Nice to meet you! I'm Stoop, a White, queer, anti-racist community-organizer who's committed to collective liberation and generational healing. I will support you finding your way through the places you get stuck, and tapping into your most authentic self. We will explore pain points, identify root causes, and build foundations of recovery on visions of humanity. First things first; we'll dig into areas of powerlessness and define integrity, so that you can begin to root into a source of power that is bigger than us all.

I am here with you. Well, not yet. But when I’m with you, I’m with you. With you in your pain and loneliness, your sadness and anger, your joy, surprise and inspiration. With you in your transition, your loss, your growth and transformation. Therapy with me is a creative process of exploration and discovery in the here and now. I believe that we have a boundless capacity to grow and change, to heal and become unstuck from self-denying, self-destructive ways of being. I also believe that your experience of being stuck is REAL; it’s not “all in your head” and you can’t “just snap out of it.” I know because I’ve been there.

I aim to create a safe space in which to freely express and work through issues related to mood, identity, relationships, and life transitions, and I have experience working with a wide range of people trying to heal from trauma and abuse. I draw from trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, psychodynamic, feminist and anti-racist treatment frameworks. I utilize a Harm Reduction lens, meaning that abstinence from substances isn't the only option for increasing your quality of life if you're using substances.

Together, we can figure out why you do the things you do, what you are feeling and why, and close the gaps between the blank spots in understanding, feeling, and doing so that you can inhabit your life and your self more fully. My aim is to help you feel free enough to express all that is inside without judgment, inattention, or finality, so that you can experience yourself and your feelings, including joy, pain, and everything in between, with equanimity, curiosity, and increased aliveness.

Are you struggling with self-love and self-acceptance? Do you find yourself fighting with anxiety, addictions, and negative or scattered thoughts? Perhaps you are dealing with issues pertaining to your identity or even going through an existential crisis. I know how hard these times can be because I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you.

All humans seek happiness and answers to the most personal and vexing questions of self-knowledge, happiness, love, the right way to live, and satisfying, meaningful relationships and work. At the heart of these quests lie enduring philosophical questions. As an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, I can help you find means of raising and answering these questions, through conversations and engaged dialogue. Philosophical reflection and study are tools I can share in this process, one I've been engaged in ever since I began the formal study of philosophy, and continued in my teaching, writing, and reflection.

Starting therapy is a leap of faith at a time when hope is scarce. It is an act of courage. I prioritize symptom relief and stabilization, but I believe that lasting change and growth stem from a deeper understanding of our histories, relationships, internal worlds, and motivations. I work best with people who are willing to take a risk and become curious about their own complexity. I believe social and political environments, genetic predispositions, and intergenerational histories all interact to manifest our challenges and gifts. Ideally, my clients would be open to uncovering the many unconscious forces at play in their lives.

With experience in helping people with a wide range of life issues, I'll offer you my calming presence and solution-focused approach. My aim is to provide a safe environment for you to heal and to grow. I've worked with people facing anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, substance use, relationship issues, and more. Part of my work includes teaching individualized meditation, breathing, and yoga techniques to help you overcome challenges and develop your strengths. While each of our stories and struggles are unique, I will always adapt to your style and support you in reaching your goals.

At times in life, we find ourselves overwhelmed; in states of persistent mental or emotional distress, stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, and questioning which path best serves us. With greater consciousness of our patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, we can develop the capacity to meet these moments with the wisdom of our whole selves. By connecting more fully to our emotions, we can access our innate healing process and move towards greater integration. In honoring your unique story, we can explore how life’s suffering may be pointing you towards greater wholeness and a life of meaning.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in NY, CT and FL. I nurture a judgement free, safe and comforting therapeutic rapport within our Telehealth Practice.

As your therapist, I provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged. I won't just sit quietly – instead, I'll ask questions, offer suggestions, and reflect on what you share. Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that might be bothering you in your everyday life, whether that be challenges with relationships, work, or family. Our goal is to help you feel better, be true to who you are, and improve your relationships. And along the way, you'll get valuable skills to reduce stress and move your life forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.

Thanks for stopping by! Life can be so damn tough sometimes. Not having anyone to talk to about your struggles can make it tougher. Being stuck in your own head can feel like a relentless loop of confusion. It takes a lot of courage to seek support. If you are looking for a therapist you have taken the first step to try to make your life better. Good for you! Are you struggling with pandemic fatigue, anxiety/panic that is limiting the things you want to enjoy in life, depression? Are you sober curious but not sure if your drinking or recreational drug use is problematic? Together maybe we can sort some of this out.

Do you feel stuck in a pattern and lost? Do you want to understand more about who you are and why you are running into certain issues? I believe that you are ready to take time to focus on yourself and to become more confident, comfortable and content. It is important to find a therapist who can listen and understand you. My goal is to ease your suffering by helping you to become more aware of who you are, while recognizing your values and priorities, as well as old patterns that may be getting in the way, and growing in acceptance and clarity.

Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who suffer with these symptoms and I have over 17 years of experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders. I offer Therapy & Psychedelic Therapy. I have a background in art and have a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at Eating Disorder Centers, Mental Health Assessor for UCSF, Graduate psychology professor, crisis work for Mental Health Association of NYC & supervision of interns.

Opening oneself up to the possibility of growth....reaching out when overwhelmed...desiring insight into the struggles that keep us stuck.... Many times these are the very issues that prompt us to think of therapy. Work with a trained professional can create the relationship that opens us up to the potential of our lives and the cul-de-sacs that often entrap us.

At some point, each of us confronts a difficult life circumstance for which we may want or need extra support. Whether you are experiencing relationship difficulties, increased stress, or the desire to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I hope to help you navigate these challenges with greater ease and confidence. I strive to cultivate a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment so that together we can better understand the difficulties you are facing, while developing specific coping skills to help improve your overall well-being.

Our world has become increasingly interconnected, yet ironically loneliness can still permeate even the most crowded rooms, leaving us feeling unseen, unheard, even alienated. In my experience working with a diverse population of individuals of all ages and backgrounds, I have found that sharing our stories in a safe, non-judgmental space not only brings relief and healing from the traumas of our past, but also helps us re-engage with the present and envision a hopeful future.
