Building genuine therapeutic relationship and understanding
Hi there! I'm a Brooklyn-based therapist trained in LGBTQ+ affirming care. I work with people who are genuinely curious about themselves and ready to dig deep.

About
I believe genuine connection forms the foundation of effective therapy. My style is warm, empathic, and direct. I incorporate humor and levity, and I'll ensure we focus to address challenging material. Together we create a safe space where you can explore difficult topics: trauma, shame, identity questions, sex and intimacy, relationship patterns and family dynamics, and experiences of feeling different or marginalized. I am experienced in helping clients learn to work with intense feelings rather than be overwhelmed by them.
I specialize in helping people navigate patterns in relationships, work with intense emotions and trauma, and explore questions about identity, sex, and intimacy. While I'm trained in LGBTQ+ affirming care, I welcome all clients. I also have a background in tech and understand those unique pressures. If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to connect.
Approach
We'll spend our first sessions getting acquainted, before digging deep into what you want to explore. We'll prioritize your trust and safety the whole way and collaborate to get to your desired destination.
I work primarily in person but offer telehealth sessions as well, ensuring that you can access support in whatever way feels most comfortable and accessible to you.
