I am a New York based psychotherapist with over 15 years experience working with adults coping with loss, trauma, life limiting medical diagnoses, chronic illness, fertility challenges, relational difficulties, and life-stage transitions.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of your identity in our work.

I specialize in working with people that struggle with anxiety & perfectionism, that have survived trauma, or that find themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. My approach to therapy is holistic; I utilize a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work, mindfulness, somatic work and EMDR to help client's navigate their healing journey. I also work with couples and specialize in non-traditional relationships.
