Specialties
In Person in Albany, NY
Virtually for clients in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maine.
Trauma
Trauma can change the way you experience safety, connection, and yourself long after the danger has passed. We’ll help you understand how your nervous system adapted to survive so you have more choice around what you carry forward.
Dissociation
Dissociation can be protective, confusing, and disruptive. We approach dissociation and multiplicity with curiosity and respect, helping you build understanding and connection without treating your adaptations as something to eliminate.
Depression
Depression can make your world smaller, and harder to participate in. Even when your life looks “fine” from the outside, depression can isolate you. Together, we’ll make room for what hurts while helping you reconnect with meaning, pleasure, identity, and the parts of life that matter to you.
Anxiety
Anxiety often makes uncertainty feel dangerous and convinces us that safety depends on staying prepared, in control, or one step ahead. Therapy can help you understand what your anxiety is protecting while building the capacity to tolerate uncertainty without letting fear make every decision.
Mens issues
Messages about masculinity can make vulnerability, intimacy, identity, and asking for support feel more complicated than they need to be. Therapy offers space to examine what you’ve been taught about being a man, keep what serves you, and build a version of masculinity that feels authentically yours.
Attachment
The ways we learned to find safety in relationships won't disappear just because we understand them intellectually. We’ll explore your patterns around closeness, rejection, conflict, boundaries, and vulnerability so you can build relationships that feel more secure without abandoning yourself.
Sexual identity
Your sexuality deserves space to be explored without assumptions or expectations about where that exploration needs to lead. Whether your identity feels certain, complicated, fluid, newly discovered, or unnamed, therapy can be a place to get curious about what feels true to you.
Gender identity
Gender exploration doesn’t need to begin with certainty or end with a particular label. We offer affirming space to explore gender, embodiment, transition, relationships, and identity without treating cisness as the default or questioning your authority over your own experience.
sexual expression
Kink and sexual expression can be meaningful parts of pleasure, intimacy, identity, creativity, and connection. We offer sex-positive, kink-affirming therapy where you can talk openly about desire, boundaries, consent, relationships, and sexuality without having to educate your therapist first.
Burnout
When you’ve spent years masking, accommodating others, and pushing through overwhelm, eventually your system may stop cooperating. We offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy that helps you understand your needs, reduce unsustainable demands, and build a life that requires less recovery from simply living it.
Couples & Relationships
Relationships can be places of profound connection. They can also be where our oldest wounds, fears, and protective patterns show up most clearly. We help relationships of all kinds understand underneath the conflict and disconnection so they can strengthen their communication, choice, and their own shared values.
Individual Therapy
Therapy should be more than managing symptoms or collecting coping skills. Our individual work is relational, curious, and collaborative, helping you understand yourself more deeply while creating meaningful change for a life you're proud to live.
Counselor education
We believe becoming an excellent, loving therapist requires genuine curiosity, reflection, community, and a willingness to keep growing. Through supervision, consultation, and education, we help clinicians deepen their understanding of trauma, dissociation, identity, relationships, and the profoundly human work of being a therapist.
Therapy for therapists
Knowing the language of therapy doesn’t make you immune to being human. You shouldn’t have to turn off the clinician in you to become a client. We offer therapy for therapists who want a space where they can be messy, complicated, uncertain, and cared for without being expected to know everything.
Therapist Connection
Being a therapist can be isolating, but doing this work doesn’t have to mean doing it alone. Through gatherings like our Counselor Break Rooms, we create informal, welcoming spaces for therapists to connect, consult, build community, and be people together.
