LCSW
Accepting Clients

I warmly welcome LGBTQIA+ and marginalized folks for trauma therapy & to enhance their ability to embody a more connected and present Self.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, NY

About My Clients

I am most frequently working with clients who have lived through family and intimate partner violence, narcissistic abuse, sexual assault, and childhood sexual abuse. To help us work through the stages of trauma healing and recovery, I typically use a blend of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to cultivate a more organized, grounded, and alive connection to yourself and the world around you.

My Background and Approach

Clients often describe my approach as warm, gentle, and compassionate, with an informed perspective on trauma survivorship. Along with these qualities, I aim for a paced, collaborative, and adaptive therapeutic process. To best tailor our work, I highly value your real-time feedback and input on what consistency and adjustments you might need along the way.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Having worked with a richly diversified range of identities and backgrounds, I regard one's culture, gender, sexual orientation, and fluidity of self as both a meaningful and essential part of our work together. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to discuss your thoughts, ideas, and questions on what it might be like to work together.
