For me therapy was the bravest journey I've taken. Making the choice to engage in therapy for many feels an act of desperation or extreme need, but what I've found for my own experience and my clients is that it requires looking inside and at our actions, and this can be quite a scary thing to do. So finding bravery has already started with "walking" in my metaphorical door, and I work to help clients continue to find it throughout the therapy work.

Therapy is a vulnerable process, and my goal is to meet clients where they’re at and work with them in a warm, engaging, and direct manner. I work with clients collaboratively, seeing you as the expert of your own life and me as a third party to help see patterns, ask questions, and hold difficult things with you. My goal is to see holistic change for each client. I work from a systems perspective, meaning I incorporate the way your family, friends, community, work, etc. affect who you are. With this knowledge, we can build healthy frameworks and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (with a doctorate from Columbia University) with over 40 years of practice experience with children, families, couples, and adults. My approach to our work is "psychodynamic" and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I am open to consultation, crisis intervention, short term therapy, and more intensive, insight oriented treatment. The "ideal client" is the one who is willing to work hard. So am I!

I provide individual therapy to adults of all backgrounds and identities. My clinical practice is rooted in the belief that each person has the inherent capacity to heal and grow. To support this process, I cultivate a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can build coping skills, gain insight into limiting beliefs, behaviors, and relational patterns, and/or process painful past experiences to achieve wellness and stability. I have almost a decade of clinical experience working in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, hospitals, and homeless shelters

Counseling with me is not just “talking about problems” but looking at all of you and identifying how to help you feel more alive. I called my practice OpenHand Counseling as I believe almost anything worthwhile in life requires us to trust, collaborate, and extend ourselves. It's hard to hold a tool, cook a meal, garden, write, play a sport, give affection to another or a pet, or do almost anything without opening my fingers to meet the world. Whether you are processing past events, working towards achieving goals and plans for your life, or just need additional support, let’s work together to get you where you want to go.

Often times our symptoms can feel overwhelming. They can be difficult to understand and describe. We know they are impacting our lives, and we’re looking for help to sort it all out. I believe that in therapy, we use the relationship between client and therapist to address the challenges you bring to our sessions. Together, we work for you to gain a better awareness of yourself and greater insight into the nature of your challenges. We collaboratively process those challenges in session, through story and relationship, to provide you with the tools to prosper outside of session.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety and stress no matter what you do? Do you constantly criticize yourself for small mistakes? You may be fed up with never feeling good enough & caring for everyone else before yourself. As a mixed-race woman, you want to please others but feel frustrated that you are not cared for in your relationships, you struggle with accepting help, & you feel embarrassed that you don't know how to hold it all together. You might not even remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You're ready to feel calm, secure in yourself, & more adaptive to life's challenges.

I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, chronic illness, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, difficult life transitions, grief, burnout, and overwhelm. I believe discovering our authentic self, landing safely back in our body, finding the deeper meanings underneath our current symptoms, releasing patterns that no longer serve us, and identifying our fears, hopes and desires can help us find a renewed sense of peace and purpose in our life.

I believe in the strength, resiliency and beauty of the human spirit. I also believe in co-creating opportunities to bring forth our best self. By changing the stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome extreme adversity and trauma. Through self actualization and awareness we can become our true selves and live the life we truly want to live. In my training and career, the focus of my work has been in treating adolescents and adults suffering from mood disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, LGBTQ issues, Sex Positive & Kink issues as well as issues of Grief and Loss/Death & Dying.

I see therapy as healing through understanding. Understanding of your hopes and how to bolster and nourish them, your suffering and how to be with or relieve it. I strive to listen holistically, with humility, and to provide a nonjudgmental space in which the layers of your identity and life contexts can be safely explored. My clinical thinking is psychodynamically-based and is also informed by my background in the arts and my practices in meditation and yoga.

At the PBC, we help people who struggle with problems that they feel are impossible to change, understand, or even think about. Our clients come to us because they are depressed, anxious, in bad relationships, and can't see a path forward. We work well with people who are sensitive and creative, and need someone to help them understand what they've been through and how it impacts them in the here-and-now. Doing this kind of work with someone you trust offers the best hope for lasting change. We don't work well with people who want to be "fixed" without coming to know themselves better in the process.
