About My Clients

I work with adult individuals who are feeling lost, stuck, or otherwise dissatisfied with their life in its current state. Often my clients are navigating and/or struggling with neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, life changes and transitions, internalized oppression, identity, and interpersonal relationships. I warmly welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ folx; sex workers; kinksters; people in polyam relationships; weirdos and outcasts; and anyone looking to make a change in their life.

My Background and Approach

My background is in community mental health working with LGBTQIA+ folx, including being a clinical consultant around trans-specific issues. In 2020 I transitioned from community mental health to private practice. I approach my work from an individualized and collaborative perspective; we will work together to address your specific concerns, needs, goals, and desires. Whether it be a particular event or life change or a longer-standing pattern of feeling unfulfilled in one or more areas of your life, I'll work with you to find the momentum you desire to get back on track. I often draw from motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and relational therapies to help you identify problems, find motivation for change, and better understand your own story. I work from a socially just and trauma-informed lens, keeping developmental experiences in mind to individualize therapy to your personal needs, desires, and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm an anti-Zionist Jewish person who believes in a Free Palestine. As a white person I am committed to anti-racism and social justice and do not see this as separate from the therapeutic process. All Black Lives Matter. I believe it is my responsibility to educate myself and grow, to learn and listen to others without the expectation of clients guiding me. I am committed to supporting QTBIPOC communities, using my white privilege to boost others' voices and experiences. I have been involved in kink and BDSM research and maintain a non-judgmental and open minded perspective when it comes to sex and sexuality.
