As a therapist and visual artist, my work is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, neuroscience, mindfulness and imagery techniques, somatic work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and
attachment-based
therapy.
If you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed, you came to the right place. Together, we'll gain insight into what's getting in your way to restore balance to your life. I'll help you identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, alter behavior, and relate to yourself and others in a way that feels easeful and gratifying. I am warm, non-judgmental, and direct—no subject is off limits, and humor is welcome! My style is integrative, merging evidence-based therapies with alternative “new-wave" therapies, honoring the connection between mind, body and spirit. I am strengths-based, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and nonpathologizing.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, down, anxious, unfulfilled, uncertain? You're not alone. I commend you for this initial step of exploring what kind of assistance may be out there for you. Your concerns may feel daunting, but please hold hope; life can feel better. We all have a wealth of inner strengths and resources at our disposal. It's possible to tap into these innate strengths to promote our own growth and resolution of conflict or emotional pain. I have assisted many adults do just this, with remarkable results. Sometimes we just need a dedicated space to allow these types of insights to develop and become actualized.

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.

Also, client's who value exploration of identity and self esteem, and how this may be impacted by race and ethnicity is a plus. I aim to support other BIPOC/POC individuals in navigating their mental health. Interest in or a willingness to try arts and holistic/alternative interventions a plus.

I am a trauma-informed practitioner with experience supporting adults struggling with anxiety, attachment, depression, trauma, work stress, family distress, and relationship issues. I also have experience working with individuals from immigrant backgrounds or who are first-generation immigrants navigating acculturation stress and looking to find the balance between cultural and societal expectations. I strive to help individuals be aligned with who they want to be by guiding them through their therapeutic journey and finding compassion in themselves.

Down bad? Feeling wonky? Lets talk about it. I help clients with a variety of issues by tailoring my therapeutic approach to their unique needs and goals. I want everyone I work with to realize their full potential by restructuring maladaptive thought patterns that lead to distress and poor functioning. I hope to give my clients the space to process their thoughts and emotions, and understand the ways in which their behavior and subconscious beliefs about themselves and the world around them play into false narratives that ultimately keep themselves down. I strive to help my clients to learn to love themselves without condition.

Stress and trauma impact all aspects of our well-being. In many ways our physical health, emotions, thoughts, spirituality, and hopes for the future may be affected. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, anxiety, stress, trauma, loss and grief, chronic illness and pain or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.

With a non- judgmental and compassionate approach, I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their sexual concerns and desires. My approach to sex therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices and draws from attachment theory, cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness, emotion focused therapy, and sex-positive frameworks. I tailor my techniques to each client's unique needs, goals, and comfort level.

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.

As a therapist, I bring warmth, understanding and humor to my relationship with each client. I often receive feedback that I am easy to open up to and provide a calming presence. Whether you are feeling stuck, hoping for support as you explore your LGBTQA+ identity, working through the ups and downs of young adult life, or healing from trauma, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for growth.

I want to support you and together we will work to develop new ways to respond with tools that can help you feel grounded, confident, and more in control. I can be that non-judgmental person to talk to and process difficult emotions with. I pull from multiple therapeutic modalities to create an approach that is integrative and tailored to you as an individual.

Do you feel dissatisfied with how you relate to others or to yourself? Are you unsure of how to break out of a behavioral, emotional, or cognitive loop? I work with my clients to identify the loops they’re stuck in, what is maintaining them, and how to begin to do things differently. I provide a safe, validating, and compassionate space for this exploration. Although I pay particular attention to emotion, I also include intervention in the realms of thought, behavior, and body for a holistic approach. I commonly draw on techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems therapy, and mindfulness.

Feeling stressed out or anxious? Since 2020, many of us have experienced loneliness, struggling to understand our lack of motivation and turmoil in our personal lives. Maybe you’re just feeling ‘stuck’. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for clients to explore their selves, feelings, and relationships. Together we can address symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues that may be causing duress. I work with a diverse population, particularly LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, in-transition. I am also working under supervision to specialize in couples, relationships, and sex therapy.

With a warm and collaborative style, my goal is to make our therapeutic relationship a safe place for expressing yourself freely, resolving conflicts as they may occur, and exploring yourself in relation to another. I will utilize a psychodynamic, relational, and integrative approach to our work. I believe in working in partnership, helping you identify and use your strengths to overcome the challenges that hold you back and cause you pain.

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.

Through a co-created therapeutic relationship, I believe therapy can offer greater presence, embodiment, confidence and connection with self and others. Many of us have experienced profound wounds and traumas, both interpersonally and related to structural violence, such as racism, homophobia, transphobia. My work is motivated and guided by a desire to explore and attend to the nature and roots of that pain and to what often makes it hard to do so. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapy; therapy can open up a place of curiosity, flexibility, awareness, and even playfulness, within your internal and relational world.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
