About My Clients
I work with queer-identifying individuals—either creative or corporate in their pursuits—who are searching for purpose, feeling stuck, or looking for more than just a “quick fix.” My patients are invited to use their voice, be heard, and explore what’s on their mind. Ultimately, they come out of therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and tools to make meaningful adjustments in their day-to-day life.
My Background and Approach
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working as a theater director. Both of these roles involve helping someone cultivate a narrative. The major difference with therapy is that we work together to tell your own story in your own voice – and even rewrite the script along the way. As a therapist, I have experience working with at-risk middle school children in New York City. I’ve also worked as a full-time staff therapist at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, where I did postgraduate psychoanalytic training and became certified in Gender/Sexuality affirmative psychotherapy. My client population has been largely LGBTQ+ identifying individuals. I don’t do couples work, though I often help my clients to strengthen their intimate relationships. I’m now a proud member of the Resilience Lab mental health collective—one of the largest and most diverse groups of clinicians working to improve mental health access and outcomes across the country.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Whatever our “here and now” symptoms may be—anxiety, depression, anger, or jealousy—they’re almost invariably rooted in early life “then and there” experiences. Until we understand the roles we’ve been playing and the cast of characters around us, how can we ever expect the story to play out differently? My mission is to enable you to access more of yourself—to be able to question your automatic thoughts, to challenge those beliefs, to be curious about your inner conflicts, and to judge yourself less harshly.
