Water & Stone is a group practice focused on bringing a contemplative approach to mental health. Together we are here to find you a therapist you connect with and are comfortable working with, so you can get the most out of your experience and feel fully supported and engaged in the process. We work with people from diverse backgrounds and can offer a few options based on your needs and budget (individual work, groups, etc.) We offer traditional talk therapy, creative arts therapy, and bring many contemplative and mindfulness practices into session, personalizing the approach based on what you are comfortable with. Your first step will be a brief 10 min phone call with our founder and director Emery to discuss what you are looking for, answer any questions you might have, and hear about which therapist might be a good fit. You'll also get a chance to discuss your options for therapy and how the services match with your budget. No pressure and, if it feels good to you, you can decide when to take the next step.
Are you someone who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true potential, and is seeking a path toward healing, self-discovery, and growth? Relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity or adjusting to change can be barriers to personal growth. In the therapeutic relationship there are ample opportunities to explore experiences, values, and self-awareness through an intersectional lens, leading to meaningful personal insights and positive change. As a holistic clinician with 10 years of experience in the mental health field I utilize person-centered and evidence-based practices as well as expressive arts and mindfulness. I specialize in providing culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming care to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment, and societal challenges. It is a privilege to create a unique, safe, and supportive space with my clients through trust, empathy, and authenticity. Collaboration with my clients is integral to developing individualized treatment plans tailored to unique needs and goals. Together, we will move forward in healing, empowerment, and emotional wellness.
I am a psychotherapist with several years of experience helping young people from diverse backgrounds develop the tools they need to move toward their personal and wellness goals. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with confidence, working through challenging family dynamics, experiencing relationship difficulties, or processing past experiences, my goal is to help you make sense of these challenges and reconnect with the inner strengths you already carry. Together we can build clarity, strengthen self-trust, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence. My approach to therapy is collaborative, curious, holistic, and empowering. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to your individual needs and goals. In our work together, we will explore your concerns within the broader context of your life experiences, relationships, and environment. From there, we will develop a thoughtful and realistic path toward the changes you want to make. If this resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect and begin this process together!
I provide psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis for adult individuals of all ages, identities, and backgrounds. I use several therapeutic techniques and an integrative approach that is tailored to suit the needs of each individual patient. I believe in the transformative powers of honesty, authenticity and unconditional positive regard. Therapy is ultimately about meaning making. I listen closely to my patients without judgment and without jumping to conclusions. My goal is to understand you on your own terms—free of any rigid diagnoses or other labels. I believe that the heart of this work resides in the therapeutic relationship itself, and to this end, I seek to build bridges of clarity and comfort between us. Our work together will consist of attempting to understand you in a holistic, depth-oriented manner. We will consider how your past might be effecting your present—have you developed patterns in your life that are inhibiting and no longer serve you well? I understand that some people seek out therapy to address a discrete, well-defined issue, while others come out of a more abstract, gnawing sense that something in their life needs to change.
I am a queer, Black licensed mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating trauma, exploring identity, and working through interpersonal challenges. I have particular expertise in working with women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As someone who has also been on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, I bring a deep understanding of the vulnerability and transformative potential of this work. My approach is relational, inclusive, and culturally responsive. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and a strong commitment to creating a non-judgmental, affirming space.
I believe psychotherapy is a project between two people where sources of emotional pain and anguish are discovered and revisited, where what has been denied, unimagined, forgotten, or come to be unspeakable can become imagined, felt and spoken. The process generates an understanding of ourselves that is vastly more dynamic than what our relationships, politics and culture allow, leading to the easing of suffering and the creation of new possibilities. The therapy I provide is open, an invitation. There is a freedom to it that takes courage and tolerance. It can involve a deconstructive or constructive momentum where you may not necessarily be told what to say or how to feel. It is an invitation to notice what comes to mind and what does not. What can emerge in a therapy is dynamic. It can surprise, frustrate, thrill and provoke. These experiences are worked through together. As you bring yourself as fully as possible to what confuses or afflicts, I will help guide you with my understanding of the mind toward a life of growth and healing.

I specialize in working with young and emerging adults (people in their 20s and 30s), as well as teens and their families. My passion lies in helping young people navigate life’s transitional phases. Many of my clients are working through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, difficulty with focus or organization, or stress related to school and work. Others are making big life or career decisions, processing trauma or loss, working through painful childhoods, or exploring identity—whether around race, class, gender, or being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. As a former foster parent and current adoptive parent, I bring a personal and informed perspective to the complexities of non-traditional and non-biologically based families. I also have a particular focus on supporting individuals who’ve experienced difficult or traumatic childhoods. This includes—but isn’t limited to—survivors of childhood physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; those who grew up with parents struggling with mental health or substance use; people who were bullied; individuals who spent time in foster care; and anyone who faced significant instability or stress during their early years. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you recognize your own strength, build tools that work for your life, and create space for insight, growth—and yes, even laughter. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’re giving it another try, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. Let’s figure it out—together.
Life as a student can be stressful, especially when you find yourself impacted by academic or administration complications, or struggles outside of school. As a therapist, I take a holistic approach in order to recognize all the complexities of who you are and your unique situation, and strive to provide a space where you feel supported and understood. Many of my clients identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ (and found me because they wanted a therapist who shares their identity), although I have worked with students from all walks of life. I have a Masters of Social Work from CUNY Hunter and seven years of clinical experience with techniques such as psychodynamics, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. These have helped me with students struggling with a variety of concerns - depression, self-esteem, family or relationship problems, and more. Let's talk together about what's been on your mind and explore how to support you on your journey. I look forward to hearing from you!

Psychotherapy can benefit people facing a range of challenges. Currently, I see adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or interpersonal difficulties, and sometimes with health/illness issues. I see many people experiencing distress and other symptoms associated with life transitions such as adolescence, marriage, new parenthood or challenges in family planning, divorce, professional or personal role redefinition, retirement, and aging. I provide counseling to individuals and couples struggling with the shifting roles and demands of these complicated times. Therapy is a collaboration. I bring a warm, curious, nonjudgmental nature, an appreciation for individual differences, spontaneity and value of humor. Together, we explore patterns, thoughts, and feelings from the past and present. Clients begin therapy not only with identified concerns but also with resources that can be harnessed for lasting change. I use an active, contemporary approach to psychotherapy. I integrate psychodynamic, relational and cognitive-behavioral models and, where appropriate, health psychology, tailoring my work to each individual and their circumstances. My goal is to help people find relief from their suffering and to discover new ways of experiencing life to its fullest.

I’ve always been a curious person. Some might call it nosy, but for me it’s about wanting to understand what makes each person unique. That curiosity began with my own story, figuring out who I am and where I come from. Growing up in an immigrant household as a biracial person brought its own challenges, and those experiences shaped my connection to this work. Mental health has always felt deeply personal to me. Having been impacted by it both directly and indirectly, I’ve learned to turn adversity into strength and purpose, and to connect with others through empathy and understanding. Think of therapy as a choose-your-own-adventure. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are at. Some sessions might be spent processing the pain of a difficult breakup, while others may focus on something lighter, like venting about a character you can’t stand in a show you’re watching. I value the open-endedness of person-centered therapy and enjoy finding creative and meaningful ways to support clients.
