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.

I believe all people have an intuitive voice within, and sometimes it calls out from a challenging transition, a crisis, unmanageable symptoms, a rupture in a relationship, or a trauma.

Clients are invited to explore learned patterns from the past, to be curious about the present, and move toward desired goals for the future.
