I have been working in the mental health field since 2011, as a clinician in community based organizations and private practice settings, and teaching. My speciality is working with teens and adults, with a focus on queer, trans and/or disabled youth with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma and trauma-related disorders (Progressive Counting and Child & Parent Psychotherapy). I am undergoing training for EMDR. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent and disabled teens and adults. 

I use an eclectic approach, often drawing from humanistic, psychodynamic, narrative, and somatic modalities in my work. In my work with teens and adults, I use interventions from CBT, DBT, MI (Motivational Interviewing), and harm reduction. I have worked effectively with suicidal ideation and other moderate to higher-risk clients via telehealth. I am passionate about providing equitable and competent care. I believe that the act of receiving therapy is inherently political and politicized, one that has potential to support systemic forms of oppression. I believe it is the duty of therapists to be aware of these systems and use personal and professional awareness of their own privileges to identify power imbalances and interrupt cycles of systemic oppression to the best of their ability. 

I generally see clients Monday through Thursday from 10am to 7pm and Fridays on a case-by-case basis. While I do not accept any form of insurance at this time, I have several reduced fee slots available and provide superbills upon request.

As a therapist, I wholeheartedly believe in the power of relationships and the profound impact they have on our lives. I practice relationally through a trauma-informed lens, and weave psychodynamic and attachment theories into our work. I practice non-judgmentally by using warmth, compassion, humor, and curiosity. I love working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Some of my clinical interests include: 

• Identity exploration and formation

• LGBTQIA+ Identity

• Sexuality and asexuality

• Relationship (of all kinds) stress

• Stress management for change-makers and activists

• Burnout

• Grief and loss

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Trauma

As for me, I identify as a queer, white, and Jewish woman, and I understand the ways in which our social and cultural identities impact us. I invite my clients to bring their full selves to the therapy room.
