Knowing when to reach out for help is one of the most important things in life - I'm glad you're here. I work with clients to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and travel phobias; to navigate grief, life transitions, and relationship issues; and to establish a healthy sense of self that doesn't change with other people's opinions. I also work with individuals who aren't sure at first what they want to work on but have a vague sense that they aren't as happy as they want to be. Whatever the concern, we explore it in a safe and relaxed atmosphere and agree together on a plan to move forward.

Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Are you bored and restless with your life? Does the future seem hopeless? Many of us experience these feelings, yet often think we're the only ones. We worry that if we show people what’s really going on, they will avoid and judge us. In therapy, we give voice to these feelings, and learn that while they can be scary at times, they also reveal a path to healing and change.

Welcome! I’m Lennie. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ communities, particularly those who are transgender and gender nonconforming, and those healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, coping with cancer and chronic illnesses, and those healing their relationship with food and body image. I believe that there is no one “right” path to recovery and healing, and that everyone has the right to pursue an enjoyable quality of life. Regardless of whether you are searching for therapy for the hundredth time or for the first time, whether you have specific goals in mind or just want to try it out and see if it works for you!

In addition to my work with creative and ambitious adults, I work with young children and adolescents to increase harmony, pleasure and satisfaction in life. I treat people who are underachieving in work or school despite clear talent; overachieving in work or school yet at a high price; people who are highly anxious; people who feel hopeless about change; people who are trying to achieve greatness in sports or career; and people who know they deserve so much more but for whom it feels elusive. Let's strengthen your capacity to hear yourself better so your relationships and creativity can continue to flourish.

I think of therapy as a way of freeing ourselves from the obstacles which prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Frequently these obstacles present themselves to us in the challenges of the outer world--in problems at work, in difficult relationships, in adapting to life changes, or in the sudden impact of a traumatic event. And sometimes what stands in the way of our freedom and happiness lies within us, as negative thought patterns, conflicting or confusing emotions, and unexpressed feelings--all of which can result in depression, anxiety, chronic illness, low self esteem--burdens we often carry alone.

Have you felt that therapy has not helped enough, yet? Maybe you have a sense its time for deeper connection to self. Are your behaviors and choices driven by fear of losing relationships? Been busy clicking-off professional achievements? Have a sense you’re not yet sure who you are, authentically? Perhaps following someone else’s plan is no longer an effective strategy? Are infertility, chronic pain/health conditions a reality for you? Do you distract yourself with technology, work, substances, sex, love, food, etc? Is compartmentalizing overwhelming feelings less effective?

psychAmerica offers a unique opportunity to articulate who you are and how you came to be. Such a review is essential if we are to loosen the ties that bind our pursuit of happiness, if we are to “leave our past behind”, as the B52’s sang in “Detour Thru Your Mind, back in 1986.

Great therapy isn’t just about getting through hard moments—it’s about discovering the strength, humor, and growth that can come from them.

I believe therapy should feel empowering, and that even in life’s hardest moments, there is space for humor, laughter, and finding light.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
