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.

The last few years have brought loss and uncertainty for so many of us. If you’re feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or just stuck, know that you’re not alone — and it’s okay not be okay. Finding a therapist can be frustrating, but it’s worth the effort. With the right match, psychotherapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself.

I am a therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I know that making the decision to come to therapy is not always an easy one. In my therapy practice, I aim to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we will work through the stressors and challenges that have brought you to therapy.

Are you feeling like no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something holding you back from your most joyful, peaceful and authentic life? I believe that your pain and struggle isn’t a problem to be solved, but actually contains within it the exact wisdom you need to reach your highest potential. As your therapist, I’m interested in helping you access that wisdom - in gently getting to the root of what has been missing for you on the level of mind, body, and spirit. I firmly believe that we’re all wired to heal, and that it is entirely possible to resolve the core wounds and patterns that are holding you back.

None of us are immune to life's challenges and we also don't come with instructions on how to navigate these. We often carry our past experiences and stress without realizing it— to the point where we feel it not only emotionally, but also in our physical bodies. Research confirms the mind and body aren’t so separate after all, but more of an interdependent unit greatly influencing one another. Past traumas, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, chronic illness, difficult life transition, caught in the cycles of shame + self criticism; these are all labels and struggles many of us identify with at some point, but they don't define us.

As your therapist, I will provide a warm, inviting, and empathic space where you can explore every aspect of yourself. I will encourage you to come from a place of curiosity rather than judgment when reflecting on your experiences. I have experience supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, interpersonal conflict, or navigating the complexities of life.

Feeling lost, stuck, anxious, depressed or alone? These feelings can feel debilitating, isolating and permanent, but they don't have to be. I can help you find your way. I can support you through life transitions - from grief and loss, to figuring out how to best communicate with a loved one or set boundaries with family, friends or coworkers. My practice is founded in tenets of feminist counseling theory and is mindfulness -focused and trauma-informed; and sensitive to your individual needs, goals and strengths.

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 .

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.

My work engages people of all backgrounds, but with a particular emphasis on LGBTQ clients. I see clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health concerns, as well as life transitions or stressful moments who need support while they move through adjustment issues or simply "feeling stuck".
