My ten years in the nonprofit sector prior to becoming a therapist engendered a deep interest in community and the importance of holistic care. I have social work experience in community health, as well as in counseling for survivors of violence. I am passionate about supporting people through gender, sexuality, relationship, and identity questions, with a specific interest in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am also passionate about supporting survivors of trauma, especially for those who have experienced domestic violence/intimate partner violence.

I use an individualized approach, incorporating relational, psychodynamic, and solutions-oriented behavioral therapies. I am committed to centering anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices in our interventions and our work together. I welcome adults, adolescents/teens, as well as families, couples and other relationships. I provide virtual and in-person sessions. During your first session, we will define your goals for therapy and work together to construct a pace and relationship that works for you.

I am a graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College where I received a Master of Social Work with a field of practice specialization in sexuality and gender. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies from the University of California, Davis.
