About My Clients
I work with people who are used to explaining or defending parts of themselves before the real work can begin, including Jewish clients navigating antisemitism and belonging, and individuals, couples, and polycules exploring or practicing polyamory and ethical non-monogamy.
My Background and Approach
My approach is relational, thoughtful, and engaged. I work with adults, couples, and polycules through a systems-informed lens, with attachment-based, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and experiential influences. Therapy with me is not about generic advice or forced optimism. We slow things down enough to understand what is happening, notice patterns, clarify boundaries, and develop more grounded ways of responding when things feel tangled or overwhelming. I often work with clients navigating Jewish identity, antisemitism, belonging, relationship agreements, jealousy, communication, outness, grief, anxiety, depression, and questions about what actually fits their life now. My role is to help make room for complexity while staying connected to what can be named, understood, and worked with.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a place where people do not have to justify who they are before being taken seriously. I am especially drawn to work with people and relationships that do not fit neatly into expected categories and are often misunderstood, judged, politicized, or oversimplified. I live openly as polyamorous, which informs my sensitivity to the complexity, joy, strain, visibility questions, and practical realities that can come with non-monogamous relationships. My connection to the Jewish community includes family and community ties, ongoing study, and local civic engagement, including JCRC involvement. These connections matter, but they do not make me the expert on your life. My orientation is culturally humble, non-pathologizing, and grounded in respect for client autonomy. I want to understand your direct experience and help you sort through what is true, workable, and meaningful for you.
