During periods of disruption, change, or loss, many people experience heightened anxiety, loneliness, irritability, sadness, and strained relationships. Experiences of the present may also kick up dust from unresolved or unexamined issues that occurred in the past. I am here to guide, support, and accompany you through, with a calm and skilled emotional presence. Deepened understandings of ways the present may echo your past make it possible to intervene in ways that will really make a difference. What you have to gain is a sense of self that feels solid, true, resilient, and realistic.

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.

I enjoy working with couples who are interested in an open / polyamorous relationship. I have found that short-term therapy can be incredibly useful in setting up these types of arrangements when boundaries, trust, and communication are paramount. I also work with couples who are struggling with these issues in closed relationships. It is my goal to help you develop mutual respect, understanding, and empathic communication. The individuals that I work most effectively with are those experiencing a big life transition (new baby, divorce, job, graduation, etc) with challenges coping or have unresolved trauma of their past bubbling up

I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I will work with you wherever you are at in your life and customize my clinical techniques to meet your needs. I specialize in sex and sexuality, but offer therapy in many other areas. In addition, because a sex therapist such as myself is knowledgeable about alternative lifestyles, identities and gender expressions, some find that sessions with a sex therapist can be helpful in resolving issues unrelated to their sexuality. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College in Manhattan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and cocreator of Wise Sex Therapy Assoc.

As a multifaceted mental health intern with a background in business leadership and executive coaching, I collaborate with clients to help them identify and move through the root issues that stand between them and the lives they hope to live. Grounded in a belief that everyone possesses unique strengths that can catalyze healing and growth, I create a space characterized by warmth, positivity, and a genuine respect for the courage required to heal. In her mind, the therapeutic experience should not only address clients’ needs, but should also celebrate their inherent capabilities.
