About My Clients

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC communities and the mental health struggles that are unique to them. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and gender dysphoria. Some folx also struggle with low self esteem, body image issues, shame/guilt around sexuality and gender identity, difficulty connecting with others, motivation and other stressors such as work and home life.

My Background and Approach

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide a kind, non-judgemental, supportive environment for all my clients and work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed lense. My goal is to use the power of real human connection to build trust and empower my clients throughout the therapeutic process.
