I specialize in issues related to gender, sexuality, and other intersections of experience and identity such as socio-economic status, race and ethnicity, (dis)ability, spirituality, migration, family history, and substance use. I am a transgender, queer white person, born and raised in NYC. I hold an MSW from the Silberman School of Social Work at CUNY Hunter College, and I am licensed to practice in the State of New York. I am available to work with adult individuals and couples and am currently working towards my sex therapy certification (AASECT Certified Sex Therapist).

I have been extremely fortunate to have been able to work with a wide range of people and experiences. The majority of my work since 2017 has been with transgender and gender non-conforming individuals (TGNC) and queer people, especially immigrants and migrants. Social justice and intersectional equity work is and has been my main interest since I began my career, and I encourage clients to explore how their identities and context influence their wellbeing, as well as how my identities and experience may influence our therapeutic relationship. No topic is off limits in my therapy sessions, and I strive to create an environment in which both I and my clients can bring our fullest selves to the work.

I aim to give clients the chance to explore what feels best for them throughout their treatment.

In my sessions with clients, I use a variety of techniques to support people in reaching their goals, but there are a few I tend to use as guideposts, unless the client has a specific request or already knows which therapeutic tools work best for them. Some of the tools I use the most are drawn from somatic and nervous-system informed therapies, such as embodiment and polyvagal work, and some are from more behavioral and cognitive therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I find that usually, a mix of disciplines and theories works better than sticking to one idea, and I aim to give clients the chance to explore what feels best for them throughout their treatment.
