About My Clients
I work with adults 18+, especially LGBTQIA+ folks exploring their identities and navigating a cisheteronormative world. Many of my clients are part of kink, ENM/polyamory, and sex work communities. Many are also active in their unions or organizing their workplaces, facing conflict with management, fear of retaliation, and burnout. Those simply worn down by a bad job or a toxic workplace are welcome too. I also welcome chosen family therapy.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Brooklyn, NY, licensed in New York and Florida. My work is grounded in about a decade of disability justice advocacy, and I offer neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed care that adapts to each client’s access needs. I decenter myself in the therapeutic process, honoring your expertise in your own life and creating a safe, affirming space to unpack harm without treating you as the problem that needs fixing. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, offering practical tools to navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and manage stress. This includes mindfulness skills to stay grounded in overwhelming moments, recognizing triggers, finding healthy outlets for intense feelings, and building communication and boundary-setting skills. These tools are always tailored to your needs and life circumstances, never used to help you simply tolerate unjust conditions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe much of what brings people to therapy isn’t personal failure but the predictable result of living under capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy. Exhaustion, anxiety, and the feeling of never being “productive” enough are often reasonable responses to systems built to extract from us. That’s why I bring an anti-capitalist, anti-oppressive lens to the therapy space. As a union delegate myself, I know how meaningful and draining the fight for better working conditions can be, and I offer steady support to help you care for yourself and sustain the long haul. Whether you’re exploring your gender or sexuality, organizing your workplace, seeking tools for emotional regulation, or looking for space to process and grow, I’m here to support you.
