I am an agender, queer, abolitionist therapist. I believe that transformation is possible for everyone, healing can begin anywhere, and that no one is disposable. Only practicing with clients in within (the colonial borders of) New Jersey. My approach is primarily informed by somatic practices for trauma healing. This means that we will work with your thoughts, emotions, memories, and physical form/sensations to release unprocessed stress and/or trauma.

Are you tired of feeling like the weight of depression and anxiety is holding you back from living your life to the fullest? Do you find yourself grappling with the unique challenges that come with being a part of the LGBTQ community in a world that sometimes feels less than accepting? These questions can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, rooted in a social justice framework. This means that our work together isn't just about alleviating symptoms.

As a Queer/LGBTQ individual who has worked extensively within my community, I have learned that everyone has their own idea of what it means to suffer, but we need not approach it alone nor without help. First and foremost, I believe that individual needs and each relationship is unique; this informs the work I do with clients. If you are not feeling seen or heard in your relationships with others, be they romantic or otherwise, we can work together to build the needed skills for you or you and your partner to better navigate needs.

I believe the dynamic between client and therapist is one of our most valuable assets in therapy. I strive to meet you where you are to support and hold space for you to reach honest emotional expression, an integrated understanding of your experiences, and embodied satisfaction. I approach my work with compassion and curiosity, offering a welcoming, creative and humorous space. Every individual brings their own perception of their needs and worldview. I place great focus on identity, culture, and environment for this space to not only process personal struggles but to also combat oppressive exteriors that compromise our wellbeing.

After trauma, we reach for whatever coping skill is closest in order to survive. We may turn to substances, self-harm, intellectualizing, perfectionism, etc. This helps us soothe, distract, and numb from feelings of shame, guilt, anger and fear. Still, our unprocessed emotions can overwhelm–morphing into anxiety, depression, rage, dissociation, or hyper-vigilance. However, this only represents a part of us and our experiences. We contain creativity, empathy, resilience, & intuition. Through our strengths, we increase our tolerance, release survival skills that no longer serve us, and return to our most liberated and aligned self.
