Greenpoint Psychotherapy is a holistically minded practice that functions on the premise that by allowing ourselves to accept and experience our emotions, we will increase assertive behavior leading to increased alignment between external & inner selves. We help clients with exploring how their past relationships and experiences continue to impact their present life, through identifying and changing thought patterns that have become unnecessarily negative or rigid, and learning to use difficult experiences to gain more insight about themselves so they are able to move forward with kindness instead of fear.

My role is to support your journey and provide you with skills while building insight into behaviors that may have you stuck and prevent you from becoming your optimal self.

When people experience seasons of struggle, as we all undoubtedly do, sometimes therapy can be a valuable resource to help us find clarity, navigate uncertainty, lean into change and growth, or rediscover and restore what we once knew about ourselves. My philosophy in terms of treatment is one of partnership. I aspire to create a space, whether via video or in person, where you can feel safe to be vulnerably seen and heard, and my hope is that, at the end of our time together, you will feel empowered to live your life to the fullest, equipped with a diverse array of coping tools that you can confidently call your own.

If you have been feeling alone or stuck or in pain, I’m so glad you’re here. If you are ready to explore the cornerstones of existence (love/family/work/sex/spirituality) with the goal of working on healthier relationships both to oneself and with others, you are in the right place. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, on a foundation of attachment-oriented psychodynamic theory to curate a therapeutic experience worthy of your unique story. My focus is on romantic relationships, trauma and loss, family conflict, social anxiety, body image, depression, and career stress.

I work with people who have engaged active lives who find themselves troubled, or at an impasse. You may want to move forward and notice inhibitions holding you back. You struggle with procrastination or anxiety. You may have trouble making big decisions or find it difficult to get what you want. Perhaps you question your relationships with others, or you fight with yourself. Maybe you notice, no matter what you do you feel dissatisfied or even depressed. You long to feel free and energized yet you don't know how to get to that sweet spot. Speaking your words, words you may not have said aloud before, takes courage.

Choosing a therapist can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you need to discuss issues related to sexuality or gender. I have a transparent, practical and easy-going style that is compassionate, culturally-attuned and helps my clients feel understood and at ease. The commitment to psychotherapy is challenging, vulnerable and courageous. It is not about aiming for perfection, but appreciating the ways in which you have continued to persist and fight for what you value and those you care about even in the face of all the messiness, conflict and struggle. My work is tailored to individuals, couples or networks.

Therapy is a journey towards deeper self-compassion and understanding. And sometimes that starts with open-hearted not-knowing. Whether you have had decades of previous treatment or seeking care for the first time, I work with people wanting to know themselves more. Clients I see walk through all sorts of unknowns including break-ups, transitions, boundary setting challenges, career shifts, identity questions, family changes, grief, body image issues and just feeling stuck. I focus on expansion of self-care; I can help people challenge, with curiosity and humor, the painful patterns they wish to change.

I embrace a warm, practical, and collaborative approach to psychotherapy, adapting treatment to the needs of each person. I believe that the present is informed yet not fully determined by our past, and that we all aspire to healing, wellness, and ongoing growth. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I aim to encourage clients to work through unexamined unhealthy patterns, uncomfortable or scary thoughts and feelings, unwanted behaviors, challenging situations and relationships. I work from an anti-oppressive, relational, and trauma-focused lens.

I believe psychotherapy offers a unique opportunity to be deeply known and understood. By talking with a compassionate and fully engaged therapist about our lives, we develop insights that can be difficult to reach on our own. The self-understanding that grows from this process helps us gain relief from emotional turmoil, change restrictive patterns, and create more fulfilling lives. I work with individuals seeking help with anxiety and depression in the face of various challenges, including grief, traumatic experiences, career change, family and relationship conflict, low confidence, illness, and questions about identity.

What would it look like if you were more in your life? If you struggle with old emotional patterns, it may show up in all kinds of ways! You may be feeling distracted, feeling like you're not "enough," finding it difficult to form meaningful relationships, or not feeling like you know who you are. These conflicts may also show up in your body, as well as in the way you treat it. Maybe you have headaches, chronic lower back pain, difficulty nourishing yourself, or have a fraught relationship with how you look. We collaborate and figure out how to make you an active participant in your healing and get you back in your life.

I am a licensed art therapist, integrating psychotherapy, somatic awareness and art therapy into sessions, depending on your needs. Art therapy does not require any art skills, but can provide a path to connecting thoughts with emotions, providing insight into problems, and discovering solutions. Whether you are more comfortable talking through issues or utilizing art therapy, I can provide you with interventions that help you tap into your emotional self, working on integration without re-experiencing traumatic events.

While our personal histories may inform our current struggles, it does not define who we are, or who we may become. Using an client-centred approach, I believe strongly in the power of self-efficacy, attachment theory, developmental psychology, family systems and neuroscience. Guiding my practice with trauma informed care, I assist clients in developing their unique resilience story. This begins with relational connection, warmth and radical acceptance co-created in the therapeutic environment.

I believe that self-acceptance and self-understanding are fundamental to meaningful change and that each of us has an innate healing capacity and ability to thrive. Sometimes, unresolved memories or traumas, anxiety, depression, self-criticism, identity issues, cultural conditioning or daily stressors can stand in the way of our sense of vitality and efficacy in life. I provide clients with a supportive, non-judgmental space (with a bit of humor when appropriate) to process psychological distress and get to the root of what is keeping you from orienting toward more authenticity and balance.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
