Here’s what I believe: it can be really scary to get in touch with our emotions and needs, but when we avoid them, it wreaks havoc on our lives. We lash out, people please, numb out, run away, dissociate, or sometimes completely shut down. There comes a point, however, when we decide we want more out of life, and know it's time for change. Perhaps you’re at that point right now. If so, I want to offer you a warm welcome. In our work together, I will honor your resilience, hold your darkness with reverence and celebrate progress and possibility with you. We all need support sometime - we weren't build to do this alone.

I offer a trauma-informed, culturally humble, radically inclusive, and tender space to investigate your feelings and needs. We can work together to co-create a set of relational and somatic tools that you can use to enhance what feels good and regulate what feels overwhelming. I am an LGBTQ+, kink, and ENM/Poly informed therapist specializing in trauma, and I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship built on non-judgmental safety can be transformative. I use a collaborative, relational approach to re-write problematic stories and relational scripts rooted in oppressive social norms and offer a new vocabulary of pleasure.

I am interested in treating people working 12-step recovery programs.Having a close working knowledge of the program greatly enhances the patient's work in both contexts. Many people struggle with "the God thing," the sponsor relationship, and other common stumbling blocks. These can be explored in terms of the meaning these issues have in the patient's history and inner world. Chronic character patterns revealed in step-work (e.g. Fourth Step's "searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves") can be explored in greater depth.
An addictions perspective is often useful with other patients as well.

My experience as a trauma therapist includes 10 years of providing supportive services to survivors of crime and interpersonal abuse, as well as individuals impacted by depression and/or anxiety. I have 5 years of experience providing clinical supervision to other clinicians including rising social workers and seasoned trauma-focused providers.

I focused on sociology and psychology in college and investigated becoming a social worker early on. My creative side pulled me into my first career as an assistant director of feature films. I went back to school for forensic psychology, as I have always been interested in the cross-section between criminal justice and psychology from the viewpoints of victims and perpetrators. After practicing with a wide array of populations, I recognized that my strengths and interests lay in individual counseling where I feel I can make the greatest impact.

Immediate availability for New York, Texas and Florida based clients. Hey there! At times life can be challenging to navigate. During these times you can feel stuck, misunderstood and unable to move forward. Every time something goes well for you another thing happens to disrupt your happiness. It seems everyone around you is happy and moving through life with ease. You feel alone, confused and worried about your future, wishing could wake up the next day with no fears. You wonder if you will ever find peace, love and happiness.

Many clients in my Fort Greene practice are suffering from depression and anxiety. Both these strong emotions can rob you of joy in life, your energy, and your interest in connecting with others. Many people underestimate the impact of these strong emotions on your relationships, your productivity, and your health. Freeing yourself from the paralyzing trap of depression and anxiety will give you new energy to move on in your life.

The work of getting to know ourselves more deeply is courageous, and I truly believe that we don’t have to do it alone. My mission is to help women of color and queer folks peel back the layers of life that are weighing on them, live more balanced lives, and as a result, have more fulfilling relationships with others and themselves. Sometimes we have an idea of what that may be and other times we may not, both are normal places to be.

The search for meaning and authenticity is central to our lives. Whether you are experiencing a time of particular difficulty or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can provide a space for support, connection, and collaboration in your life’s journey.

I am committed to creating a soft, genuine, relational space for my clients to get to know their inner systems.

I have been engaged with the IFS model for over nine years, and it is the primary model I use for psychotherapeutic work. I have assisted as a staff member on three Level 1 IFS trainings, helping other therapists and practitioners learn the model.

Connection. It’s what we are all looking for. Connection with ourselves. Connection with others. But how do we achieve that in a world that constantly forces us to disconnect in order to survive? To numb out, to run from conflict, to judge, to avoid our vulnerability. Our vulnerability is what makes us beautiful. Let’s get back to that beauty. Whether you’re struggling with romantic relationships, work and family stress, or trying to cope with the multiple crises happening around the world, I’m here to support you. I’ve been a therapist for more than a decade and have helped hundreds of people just like you.

Support can be hard to come by. In times of stress it can be helpful to have a space where you can process the challenges that you experience in life. The hardest part of the process in seeking therapy is in making initial contact. Having a therapist that can work collaboratively from a nonjudgmental and compassionate place. It is important for the client to feel comfortable in order to engage in a meaningful and authentic way.
