My education at Cornell University Medical College and residency in community psychiatry at Yale University have prepared me to deal with complex issues in a variety of settings . My life experiences has prepared me to deal with issues of ethnic /racial diversity, LGBTQ and spiritual and transcultural barriers
Through active listening and thoughtful assessment, I am partnering with you to achieve your treatment goals. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I pride myself on treating the person and being focused on improving outcomes with an up-to-date knowledge base, careful assessment skills, and compassionate care.

Anne’s passion is helping individuals achieve healing and wellness through a root cause approach. She has found that people have a deep, intuitive knowledge that their bodies can heal with optimized nourishment, movement, herbs and supplements while using meditation, mindfulness and cognitive restructuring to change their thoughts, bringing more joy and well being into their lives. Depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and comorbid autoimmunity can improve and heal when people commit to changing their lifestyles, and Anne believes in the power of partnering with her patients to help them find their highest levels of health.
“I love Anne! I went through a carousel of mental healthcare providers and could never feel comfortable talking with them, until I finally met Anne. Couldn't recommend her any higher!”
I offer individual psychotherapy for young adults and adults in New York, online and in-person. With curiosity and care, I support clients in therapy by delving into your emotions and connecting them to your behaviors, exploring the past and recognizing its impact on the present, analyzing your relationships and roles within your community, and carving out opportunities for change. Ultimately, I believe that therapy is a place to practice a discipline of hope—while we examine past traumas and current challenges, we also create a space that makes healing possible.
My work has primarily been with folks from immigrant, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities, as well as with adolescents and young adults. I draw from multiple disciplines, as well as my own experiences as a queer person of color, and emphasize an anti-oppressive, feminist, and queer-affirming approach to my practice. When you enter the therapeutic space, you bring a unique set of experiences shaped by the world at large, so our work together acknowledges the external contexts that impact your life and relationships.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to create an integrative and holistic perspective, drawing from psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), narrative, and relational therapies. Together, we will identify what you want to be working through and let your insights guide our work.
*Alicia is available for in-person sessions on Monday in Greenpoint and virtual sessions Tuesday through Thursday.
Sometimes the best way out of the darkness is to have a companion illuminate the path in front of you. My role as your therapist is to be that person, and to hold that light as we journey out of the darkness and onto the path of healing and growth together.
I am a fundamentally empathetic and compassionate person, with a deep appreciation for the strength, resilience, and wisdom in all of us. I operate from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed lens that integrates behavioral and psychodynamic therapies to treat anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, stress, insomnia & complex trauma.
We are all a work in progress, and therapy provides the unique opportunity to press the pause button, remain present and safely work towards uncovering whatever barriers are keeping us stuck. Together, we can holistically explore how you got here, and how to move forward to achieve the life you want on your own terms.
Our work together will help you find the innate resources and strengths that you need to gain insight into what is getting in your way, so that you can restore balance, harmony, and health to your life. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and highly interactive— no subject, thought, or emotion is barred from talking about. I use a non-pathologizing approach that is affirming and strengths-based. I am sex-positive and LGBTQ-affirming, and I recognize that all individuals are situated within the larger social and political context of their lives. Together, we will help you build self-awareness and emotional flexibility to create space for positive changes. We'll help you gain insight into how the past shaped you, shift whatever isn't working, and release what isn't serving you so you can get what you want in life. I work with adults, millennials and teens struggling with relationship and attachment issues, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, toxic family patterns, family dysfunction, poor boundary setting, work-life balance issues, burnout, identity building, chronic somatic distress, chronic illness, intergenerational trauma, and sexuality.
I utilize a variety of techniques to help you discover not only how the past is impacting you today, but also how we can alter recurring thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are holding you back. My work is holistic and integrative, and honors all of the interrelated facets of well-being: the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. My practice is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness and imagery techniques, somatic work, cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, and my background in the creative arts. Our work will help you build greater self-awareness and emotional flexibility to create space for positive changes in your life, both tangible and energetic. As our sessions progress, we will get to the core of where certain patterns come from and why they are getting in your way. Our work will help you identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, change behavior, and relate to yourself and others in a way that helps you build an authentic, integrated whole, resilient, and gratifying sense of self.
I work with clients to build insight and skills that help to clarify challenges and maximize joy. Whether you're transitioning into a different phase of life or feeling stuck (hello, pandemic!), I will meet you there with curiosity and compassion. Together, we'll use a variety of techniques to identify both the barriers and the opportunities to lead the kind of life you want. While there is great strength in practicing healthy coping, self-care, and positive self-talk, I know that this is often much easier said than done! Sometimes we just need help developing, prioritizing and applying these skills and awareness in our daily lives.
This is especially true for new parents who find themselves thinking new thoughts and feeling new feelings along the journey of hoping for, planning and growing a family. I'm here to help. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing perfectionism, anxiety, depression, loss, and work-life balance issues, particularly during the perinatal period.
If these hopes and experiences resonate with you, I encourage you to connect with me for meaningful and personalized support. I look forward to our work together!
Life can be chaotic, challenging and heartbreaking, but among all of that, beautiful and awe-inspiring. If you’re reading this, maybe you’ve already read a few of these therapist bios by now, but if you’re feeling alone in life’s big questions then look no further. I take a curious, yet “no-B.S.” stance as we explore life’s intricacies and curve-balls together in the therapeutic process. My experience with adolescents, emerging adults and older adults has helped me create a flexible approach to meet my clients where they’re at. Whether I am working with you, your child, or your family, I strive to create a judgment-free zone for my clients to experience the most authentic version of themselves.
I lean on a client-centered approach, meaning that I give my clients the space to be the expert in their own lives. Through mindfulness and dialectical behavioral therapy, I help my clients to practice gaining distance from overwhelming thoughts, feelings and emotions. That being said, I recognize that there is no “one size fits all” approach and I collaborate with my clients along every step of the journey. Showing up to therapy isn’t always easy, and I value the courage and vulnerability that it takes to invite someone into your inner world.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, loneliness, OCD, depression, grief, heartbreak, or a case of “what does it all mean” you won’t be at it alone. Much like the contradictions we encounter in life, the work we will do together will be challenging yet rewarding.
I’m currently accepting both virtual and in-person sessions and look forward to hearing from you!
