After college, I travelled to Chennai and Ethiopia where I practiced narrative therapy and photography. My experiences learning about eastern and western treatment modalities inspired me to move to Shanghai where I earned a masters degree in social work. As a queer woman, I have been in both the client and therapist position and have experienced and understand the need for better awareness on how to offer support and to encourage self-compassion.

Current openings as of May 2024 for in-person or zoom. A life well-lived is a creative process, and I help those I work with to realize their own talents and potential, even in times of major distress. Some look for short-term support during a time of loss or uncertainty. Others get into deeper work to address older wounds and patterns. Maybe you just need to talk and see what happens. Whatever your situation, it's your life, and I would focus on what works for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.

I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.
As a clinical social worker, I help individuals and couples who are struggling with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal problems, such as but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, family stressors and relationship, commitment, and sexual issues. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for people to explore the depths of their emotions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that they may identify patterns and potential barriers that could inhibit their personal growth and emotional development.

Recovering From Even The Most Extreme Distress is Possible! If lasting change is wanted, both body and mind must be addressed. They are inseparable and affect each other positively and negatively. I specialize in both traditional therapy and somatic(body-oriented) approaches. These include Reichian Orgonomy, medication reduction, depth psychotherapy, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and Rosen Bodywork. I am experienced working with all levels of distress, including schizophrenia, chronic anxiety, depression, and addiction. I work with individuals, couples, children, families, and groups. I work on sliding scale based on willingness to work/ability to pay. I also do house calls!

Life is about connection: to ourselves, our communities, and our relationships. However, with the relentless stress of an increasingly uncertain world, unhealed wounds can be activated, leaving you feeling stuck. Therapy is a useful way to reimagine those connections by exploring, adjusting, and strengthening them. I utilize my background as a performing artist and an integrative approach to help my clients create intimacy in their relationships, implement boundaries, and build resilience. I do this through the use of evidence-based theories, mindfulness, and a playful energy.

In a world that often tells us who we should be, I hope to create a space where you can rediscover and embrace who you truly are. As a trans, nonbinary, queer, polyamorous, and Latine therapist in New York, my neurodivergent journey, coupled with my experiences as a low-income, first-generation student with immigrant parents, deeply informs my approach to therapy.

My work is informed by intersectionality and motivated by my personal experience with the communities I serve. As a therapist on his own path of healing, I share what I learn with my clients and celebrate our wins. I’m a bisexual transman who has personal experience with kink and non-monogamy. I’m a loved one of sex workers. I'm a person in long term recovery from addiction. I believe in healing through community, and in practicing radical self disclosure—with boundaries. I provide clinical supervision to a team of LMSW therapists. Outside of session, I enjoy practicing yoga, and caring for my numerous rescue dogs.

I work primarily in individual therapy with LGBTQ individuals, neurodivergent folks, folks in the kink and non-monogamous/polyamorous communities, disabled folks, and sex workers. I offer relationship therapy as well (Non-monogamy and polyamory). I believe therapy is inherently political and am happy to share my personal identities with clients during a consultation call. I believe that therapists can hold safe boundaries for clients, while also encouraging transparency and authenticity of self.

I'm so glad you're here. Finding a supportive, therapeutic home can be a difficult challenge for us as queer, transgender, and non-binary people. Therefore, I hold some values to create a safer space: you are the expert in your own lived experience; you already posses the strengths that will help you with the challenges you're facing; you deserve a place without judgement; and you are entitled to be your authentic self. I come from a cross-cultural, social justice perspective, and believe collaboration with you is necessary for your best self.

Everything looks great from the outside. No one would guess you're actually struggling with something. You're always on the go. Plenty to do with a demanding job and a busy family life. People who know you think you've got it all together. They have no idea that inside, you feel like your world is crumbling. This grief is with you every day. Intrusive thoughts about what you could have done differently, what you said, what you didn't say, what you should've said. So many memories, so many regrets. You want to heal. You want to move forward. A part of you is scared but deep down you know it's time to face this loss.

I am a psychodynamic and cognitive behaviorally oriented, trauma-informed therapist, with over ten years of experience working in the human services field.

Maybe you’re isolating, overwhelmed, constantly triggered, or adjusting to something new, my job is to help you put it into words and find a way through. Perhaps it’s work stress, old or recent trauma, a loss, a relationship or a learning problem, or simply problems becoming your best self - I integrate both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, as well as continual study of new developments in the field to help. My style is warm, interactive and tailored to your needs. I see treatment as both an art, a science, and a unique conversation between two people whose focus is on your needs and your desires.

A desire for change and growth is a sign of health. Sometimes we get stuck and face a multitude of external and internal barriers to becoming the person we want to be-whether is be personally, professionally, or relationally. If you are like many of my clients, you have tried a variety of traditional approaches to therapy and hit a plateau. We will work together as you pursue deeper healing and more meaningful growth that will move you towards your higher, most authentic self.

The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself and open to the world. In my practice, I have seen countless times how a strong patient-therapist relationship can be a life-changing resource. I'm deeply invested in understanding why you're in my office today—whether due to dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, or a bleak self-image—while simultaneously helping you locate the more capable and resourceful parts of your identity. My style is warm, curious but also candid and direct. I trust that my patients have come to me because they can handle (and need) honesty.

“I just want to feel happy.” Or “why are relationships so hard for me?” Or maybe, “I wish I didn’t worry ALL the time.” If these lines have run through your mind, you’re not alone. And you’ve come to the right place! My style is warm, genuine, and practical. I use humor and honesty to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be your true, authentic self. I believe the key to progress in therapy is developing insight into patterns (relationships, behaviors, and thoughts), while learning concrete skills to make real tangible changes in the here and now.
