Regardless of the successes, you still have moments when you feel like a failure. If you’re someone who holds yourself to high standards, you might feel frustrated by how you get in your own way from succeeding. If you struggle with the combination of perfectionism and procrastination, counseling can help. I provide direct, interactive feedback with an anti-systemic racism perspective designed to help you stay accountable to your goals.

Difficulty managing stress and anxiety is often overwhelming and may lead to health issues, unsatisfactory decision making, conflict in relationships, and an overall poor quality of life. Anxiety, poor stress coping, depression, anger and other difficulties can be rooted in a myriad of complex biological, physiological, and situational causes. Together we can explore the root of your presenting difficulty as a platform for progressive growth. My goal is to assist you in developing your own self-awareness and from there, guide you in organizing your thoughts, actions, and goals towards a healthier and happier way of life.

I believe that as we evolve and grow, our connections with ourselves, others and the world around us can become deeper and more fulfilling. However, when we are under stress, in a relationship crisis, or feel anxious or depressed, our connections to our loved ones and to ourselves are limited. We may be unable to communicate, feel angry, lack energy and feel overwhelmed. In order to relieve life's pressures, it is important to slow down, and become more self-aware--reconnecting with ourselves once again. Counseling fosters trust, and is a process that promotes growth and change.

I believe that men can especially benefit from therapy as they often don't have as much comfort or experience with expressing their thoughts, feelings and emotions.
I specialize in working with men, especially those who identify as gay, bi or queer. Common issues I work with clients on include relationship/intimacy struggles, isolation, depression, shame, career issues, anger/rage, anxiety, sexual issues, feelings of numbness and addiction. I can assure you a level of comfort and understanding as well as specialized training when dealing with these issues. In addition, I take a sex positive approach and am attuned to the needs of poly, non-monogamous, kink and BDSM clients.

I have always been fascinated with understanding how people think, how they have come to believe what they believe and how they have become who they are. I have come to realize that many people simply want to feel heard, understood and cared for. This is part of the reason why I became a counselor, along with wanting to help people and destigmatize mental health. Coming from immigrant parents who came to America to enable their children to live a better life than they did, to them that meant getting a practical & stable job. But with time I realized that I didn't want my life to be just practical – I also wanted it to be purposeful.

People are endlessly complex and I am constantly in awe of our resilience and depth as hu man beings.
I believe change occurs in the context of our relationships, with our own self and with others. Oftentimes, when people seek out therapy, they are feeling lost, discarded, and may be filled with self-doubt and negative thoughts and feelings about themselves in the world. I work with clients to forge new ways of relating to ourselves and others to engage more fully in the world. We do this by learning a range of new skills and processing past experiences, but at its core, it is about connection with another hu man being and being seen, heard, understood, respected, and known.

I enjoy working with people in a safe and supportive atmosphere where a person can be who they really are. As individual's lives are often complex and surely unique, I work collaboratively with clients to learn about their reasons for seeking therapy as well as to enliven and deepen the therapeutic process through greater self-reflection. Ultimately, I believe that hu man beings are self-healing, and that the symptoms and contexts that lead a person into their therapeutic journey can often teach and bring meaning in ways that enhance psychological wholeness.

Hello, I'm Anthony. Meaning and certainty are hard to practice when you're struggling to get through the week. My experiences as a therapist involved helping people experiencing, anxiety, depression, life transitions, psychosis, and interpersonal difficulties; and if any of those apply to you, I would like to help you or someone you care about find some relief. My process is collaborative and open, meaning you set the pace as we learn how to reshape thoughts, learn new skills, and celebrate your best. I love learning about my clients and figuring out how we can use our therapy time to help you get to where you want to be in life.

Today’s environment makes many assumptions about the nature of psychological health, oftentimes seeing depression, anxiety, or other psychological concerns as problems to be avoided and eradicated. However, there is much that our symptoms can teach us about ourselves and our world if we know how to listen to them. Sometimes, they may even hold the key to our psychological well-being.

In therapy, my approach is nondirective, genuine, warm, and empathic. I am nonjudgmental, accepting, and understanding. I follow my clients as they focus on whatever feels most important to them. My goal is to build a safe therapeutic relationship for clients to explore the depths of their most significant and often challenging life experiences. I listen and respond with empathic understanding of these experiences while my clients find meaning that is congruent with their whole self. Clients often feel deeply understood during this process, which is a profoundly healing experience.

I believe success in therapy can be found by focusing on both the present and the past. Sometimes we are going through difficulties that need to be talked about and addressed right now. I can provide you with ways to navigate and cope with those present-day challenges. But for much of the time, the challenges we face in the present are linked to experiences we have gone through in the past. I can help you explore and understand those experiences so you can develop a greater perspective on who you are and why you may feel and think the way you do.

I am committed to helping individuals live more fulfilling, meaningful, and complete lives. Often, we may find ourselves feeling disconnected from others and from ourselves, or we may feel like we’re unable to live the life we would like to live. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic space where we can explore these difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I consider the therapeutic relationship to something to be cherished and will walk by your side as we do the work of coming back home to who we really are.

Throughout life, there are many challenges and decisions to navigate while we process and learn from our own experiences. How we make sense of them and give experiences meaning is crucial in moving from feeling stuck towards being fully authentic and present in life. Together, we can work through barriers and move towards a place of self-compassion. I work with adults experiencing life transitions, chronic pain, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and self esteem concerns. My own background as a musician informs my approach to working with perfor mance anxiety as well as my interest in working with other creatives and performing artists.

Often, people come to us looking to explore psychological concerns in a sophisticated way. If they had past therapy, they were at times disappointed that it did not go deeper, as it left the greater meaning (the "roots") of their symptoms unexplored. As psychodynamic therapists, however, our goal is to see comprehensively, with thoughtful attention to the subtle depths and intricacies of your experience. In so doing, we can help to both resolve symptoms and impart meaning to your experiences, even those thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are often deemed painful or meaningless.
