About My Clients

My typical patient is in the LGBTQ* community, with about 50% of my practice being gender-nonconforming individuals. I work with complex trauma and obsessive compulsive disorder and provide empowering services to individuals who are ADHD and autistic (including self-identified).

My Background and Approach

I specialize in EMDR and Inference-Based CBT. I have training in DBT but fundamentally recognize that DBT and similar behaviorally-based interventions in which I've trained have the propensity to perpetrate ableism. I am concerned with undoing my inherent stigmas and assumptions and am committed to anti-racist and anti-fascist values. I believe in "location of self" as a therapist as a critical component of my practice because I believe that without this, my patients are not able to experience informed consent. Who wants a therapist who is privately judging you? I seek to provide the kind of care that I would want to receive as a peer.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm a bisexual polyamorous neurodivergent person, married to a woman, with an ethnic background of white and Ashkenazi.
