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.

Have you wondered if you would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. As a senior therapist at Zackson Psychology Group, I enjoy working with children and adolescents that may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral or family issues. You can talk to me about anything; nothing will surprise me. I am accessible to parents and easy to talk to. I focus on your child, recognize their strengths, and develop tools to become their own therapist by learning how to deal with challenges. Clients often feel better early on in treatment.

Clients who feel stuck reacting to the same things in the same ways. I work best with individuals with personal curiosity and readiness to embark on change. Those seeking to no longer feel tethered to the ever-changing world or circumstance to ensure their own well-being. Those ready to explore themselves and identify their thinking, relational and behavior patterns and those wanting new ways to engage with the world and themselves. Together we will seek to understand how experiences, intersectionality of identity, perception and the unique organization of your mind and body shape the way we interact with ourselves and others.

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.

“Adulting” is hard! Navigating all that comes with your early 20s and 30s, in NYC no less, is no easy feat. Are you struggling to find a balance between NYCs hustle culture, and making friends and building a social life, establishing a "self-care" routine, and maintaining your relationships with your family? Maybe you are struggling to find your purpose or meaning behind this hustle culture. Or perhaps, you are constantly worrying about the past, present, and future. Whatever it is, I am here to support you through it.

I work with a variety of people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. Psychotherapy with me is a process of guided expression. Thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice -- loud, clear, and without judgment. The experience of formulating authentic verbal and emotional expressions can be transformative in and of itself. Also, as patterns in your way of being become clear, you can begin to consider alternatives, find courage to change, and experience what is commonly known as freedom.

All human beings want to be seen, understood, & accepted. Therapy can be a safe & intimate space for such an experience. As a therapist, I believe we all need someone to empower, validate, & actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I thrive to do. I help in navigating life transitions and processing emotions, thoughts, and experiences that cause distress. I specialize in anxiety, self-doubt, decision-making, low self-esteem, processing shame and trauma, coping with Latinx family trauma, 1st gen. stress, the BIPOC experience, and childhood trauma.

While I work with a variety of people, many of my clients are “stressed out people-pleasers” who are exhausted from pouring themselves out for everyone else without taking the time to nurture their own lives, perfectionists, &/or people feeling “stuck” in the same patterns, having a hard time moving on from difficult events, thoughts or behaviors. It is so fulfilling to hear my clients tell me that they’re feeling more confident and finding their own voice, that their relationships are more satisfying since they’ve learned how to set better boundaries, and that they have a clearer sense of purpose and passion in their lives.

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.

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.

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.
