As humans, our greatest strength is our ability to form connections with others. As a therapist, I aim to create authentic relationships with my clients in an open, trustworthy environment. Through trauma-informed practice, I work with my clients to foster fulfilling connections and secure attachments in their personal lives.
I bring my multidisciplinary experience in research and education to my work as a clinician. From my background in implicit bias research, I ground my clinical work in anti-oppressive practice. As a sex educator, I offer LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous/polyamorous, and sex-work affirming therapy.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from New York University and a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Since graduating, I have pursued continuing education in emotionally-focused couples therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches to Autism and ADHD.
