My therapeutic style is warm, conversational, sometimes humorous and always non-judgmental. I will challenge you to be honest with yourself and your feelings, to embrace necessary but difficult changes, and to process shame to make more room for self-compassion.
I want to understand the unique lens through which you view the world, yourself, relationships, happiness, love, etc. and the heart of the problems, pain, people or patterns that bring you to therapy.

Rooted in a psychoanalytic approach, my work goes beyond symptom relief.
In a city that moves fast and that demands a lot, therapy can offer something rare: space to slow down, room to speak freely, and the chance to look inward. I work with people to get curious about their inner lives—to feel better, and to understand themselves more deeply, so they can make freer, more intentional choices.

Life can feel exhausting when you are constantly managing anxiety, relationship stress, self doubt, overwhelm, or the pressure to hold everything together. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in painful patterns despite being insightful, capable, and deeply caring. Others feel disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or the life they imagined they would have by now.

I draw influence from psychoanalytic, trauma-informed and behavioral methods.
I work with my patients to understand their full selves, authentic emotions and how to live in accordance with what they may need to thrive. I work dynamically on various goals and issues, such as developing healthy relationships, breaking unhealthy work patterns, addressing complicated family dynamics and improving honest and effective communication. With compassionate listening and understanding I help develop ways to manage and treat distressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I work to cultivate a space that is warm and empathetic, where my patients can feel safe, respected and heard.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience treating adolescents and adults in a myriad of settings. In these roles, I've provided individualized therapy to support with relationship, academic, and interpersonal issues, among others. I've also done extensive social justice work with young women. In my practice, the relationship is the main healing agent in a therapeutic dynamic. I've found that clients seek largely to feel seen and heard, and that my role is to co-create a safe space for them to grow. I'm guided by the E. Dickinson quote, "I felt it shelter to speak to you."

My treatment approach is enlightened by various therapeutic modalities, drawing on a relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy tradition, focusing on attachment, systems theories, and trauma-informed care.
Hello, I am Charity, a licensed clinical psychotherapist.

I strive to meet my clients with warmth, openness, and creativity. Therapy can provide a safe space to heal and to explore, so that we can discover new and more fulfilling ways-of-being within ourselves and with others. Issues I commonly work with include relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and trauma. I value helping clients to understand the impact of past experiences on their present life, but I also focus on the here-and-now and bodily awareness in sessions to deepen processing and understanding. With child clients, I work through play as well as talk therapy depending on age and preference.

In addition to my graduate degree, my main trainings have been with the Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY) and the Wildflower Alliance in Western Mass.
Life often leads to existential confusion, self-doubt, and emotional distress that can affect us on multiple levels. Emotional patterns may feel difficult to change, and past experiences or trauma can resurface in the present, making daily life feel overwhelming. As a therapist with extensive inpatient and outpatient hospital experience, I have supported a wide range of individuals and families, including those navigating complex mental health challenges and personality patterns. As a writer with a literary background, I also enjoy working with artists and creative professionals.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
