About My Clients
I provide individual, family, and couples therapy, with a specialization in supporting queer and transgender adults, youth, and their families. I understand therapy as one tool, among many, for supporting youth and adults to find more joy and resilience in their daily lives. We might be a good fit for therapy if you are: a caregiver/parent of a queer or trans young person looking for support in being an affirming caregiver, a queer or trans person looking for a relationally focused therapist.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in working with queer and transgender youth and their families. I provide affirmative, respectful, and compassionate care to young people. My decade of experience working in DC public and charter schools has made me passionate about supporting not only youth and their families, but also helping adults connect with their inner-child. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and multi-faceted. This means that you, the client, get to decide how we use our time in therapy together! I’m always happy to provide options or guide clients in directive activities that are supportive in engaging with your goals, but nothing is ever mandatory. My style is informed by many therapeutic modalities including: play therapy (for kids and adults!), polyvagal theory, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), IFS (Internal Family Systems) and parts work, EMDR therapy to work through past traumatic experiences and negative self beliefs, and Strengths-Based Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an anti-racist, anti-zionist, Jewish leftist, and my politics inform the therapeutic care that I offer. The personal is political and therapy should reflect that. Our identities impact our daily life, as we navigate living in racialized capitalism in an increasingly hostile and scary time. I believe therapy can support clients to increase their capacity to be active participants in building a better world, through attunement to our relationship with ourselves and others.
