I’m a New York State Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with an educational background in social work and law (mediation). Before becoming a sex and relationship therapist, I worked with families navigating judicial separations and legal custody. My past professional experience has allowed me to take on a big picture perspective when working with clients.

My approach combines DBT principles including mindfulness and emotional regulation, a strengths based perspective, motivational interviewing, and embodiment work to help clients connect with their most authentic selves. I help clients get in touch with unconscious desires and core beliefs and empower them to stand on their own outside of therapy.

As an individual and couple’s therapist, I hold a safe space for clients to feel heard and understood, and I create treatment plans to facilitate change, if necessary. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I welcome work with adolescents and adults regardless of ability, race/ethnicity, sexual identity, gender identity, and religious affiliation. I treat LGBT issues, anxiety, trauma, shame/guilt, lack of desire, and out of control sexual behavior. 

I aim to build an authentic therapeutic rapport based on trust, honesty, and loving support. I strive to help clients unlearn unhelpful narratives about sex. I truly believe everyone has the power to find compassion and gratitude within themselves. I feel strongly that everyone is the expert in their own experiences. Sometimes, however, we get stuck in beliefs that no longer serve us. It’s my greatest pleasure helping people unlearn patterns of thinking or beliefs that could be let go.
