About moonrise therapy

Hi! I’m Happy you’re here.

I’m Dr. Van Nostrand, a licensed clinical psychologist committed to providing a supportive space for individuals. I’m honored that you are considering me to walk alongside you on your path to personal growth and healing. If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness, struggling in your relationships, or navigating major life changes, you're in the right place.

I am guided by a trauma-informed, integrative approach that incorporates techniques from relational and attachment psychotherapy with evidence-based tools. This means that I am not only deeply present in the room with you, but I work to help you explore the importance of past and present relationships in shaping your current experiences. I also incorporate tangible tools and skills from cognitive-behavioral therapy into my work so that you can start feeling better more quickly. Therapy, to me, is as unique as you are, and my goal is to tailor interventions to suit your individual needs. We'll explore the impact of your past on your present, working together to make meaningful, long-lasting changes. My style is warm, patient, and sprinkled with humor to help each client feel comfortable and accomplish their goals in therapy
