About My Clients

Starting therapy is brave. I aim to foster a relationship that is compassionate, free of judgment, and a place where you can express your truest thoughts and feelings. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and the therapeutic space should be one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. Treatment is fluid and individualized uniquely for you. I consider our work to be co-created and endeavor toward a space where you can express all aspects of your lived experience.

My Background and Approach

I use narrative therapy, IFS, relational, and psychodynamic approaches, as well as mindfulness and somatic work in my practice. I also have specialized training and expertise working with people experiencing homelessness, struggling with substance use, experiencing anxiety and depression, and exploring their gender identities. I have extensive experience working with trauma and violence survivors, neuro-diverse clients, queer and TGNCNB+ people, HIV positive clients, immigrants, kink and D/S lifestyle relationships, sex workers, and polyamory/consensual non-monogamy, as well as many intersections of these lived experiences. I am also a Field Instructor through Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in New York City.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a white, trans masc, nonbinary queer practitioner, my work is informed by my lived experience, motivated by personal connection to the communities I serve, and aspires to be as multi-dimensional as you are. I provide therapy to individuals, intimate partners, and families of all kind. My practice is firmly rooted in anti-oppression. I believe examining relationships of power and privilege is often central to healing and meaning-making.
