Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and belonging through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). Therapy Groups help you bring your full authentic self into connection to transcend loneliness and find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

I work somatically using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy approach in order to gently guide the body and mind back into harmony as so often trauma and life experiences can separate or fracture the two, leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

Hi! How are you feeling today? Is something impacting your daily life and functioning? Are you struggling at work, in your relationships, or in other aspects of your life?

Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? I'm here to help you through it all!

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons - to manage relationships, to address stress and loss, to get unstuck, to heal trauma. Reaching out for support is such a courageous step, and I’m so glad you’re here! I believe strongly that everyone deserves to be fully seen – every part of them – in all their complexity and wholeness. My goal is to create a supportive and affirming environment to bear witness to the totality of your experiences – your pain, your joy, and everything in between. Together, we can process your story and the way it impacts your present, gain insight and self-compassion, and start your healing journey.

Witness yourself through creative calling. Therapy should be a place were you can feel completely free to be and explore your truest self. Each week I hope to hold holistic space for clients to collaborate and creatively work through any obstacles within the process of growth and inner transformation. Together, inviting discussion and engagement with your mind, body and spirit to progress in self fulfillment.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

You've just taken the first step towards advancing your own personal growth. It can be difficult to address the painful or uncomfortable matters in our lives, but it is the only way to propel ourselves forward; to make the future stronger than the past. While the past will always play a role in shaping our future, it doesn't define it. Through counseling, we will work together to identify and overcome whatever obstacles may be in your path. With a clear mind and an empowered spirit, you'll be on your way to living a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Hi there! I'm Aili (rhymes with smiley). I help people who feel lost, stuck, or otherwise thrown off balance. I guide people with "toxic" relationships to identify their needs and build up boundaries. I support people with overwhelming anxiety to find relaxation and peace.

If you're looking for an empathetic, affirming therapist, let's connect!

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.

If you find yourself repeating the same patterns, reach out. I work best with individuals with personal curiosity and readiness to embark on changing the ways they react to others and to themselves. Those seeking to no longer feel tethered to 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, identity, perception and the unique organization of your mind and body shape the way we interact with ourselves and others.

I do intimate work with individuals, families, and couples from very diverse walks of life.

Whether it's your first time seeking therapy or you're not new to the experience, searching for support for your mental health is a brave and important first step. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed navigating a life transition or are encountering relationship challenges or are trying to process trauma. Whatever is bringing you to therapy, you deserve a safe, accepting space to explore and talk about these topics.

My approach to therapy is psychoanalytically informed, borrowing tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches. I take time to get to know the person in their present day-to-day life, as well looking carefully at past history, patterns of thought and behavior, and relationship dynamics. My goal is for my clients to develop a deepened relationship to themselves. This work involves us partnering to find language and create structures that facilitate change.
