I am a licensed social worker, a certified addiction counselor, and a Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I focus much of my work with individuals struggling with addiction (alcohol, drugs, gambling, internet, sex). Many individuals find their lives and relationships paralyzed by the grasp of various addictions, and I have helped countless individuals liberate themselves. Many of my clients feel stuck in life, struggling with anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to changes in their lives.
Are you struggling to cope with the death of a loved one? Grief is a complex and often isolating experience, and it can be challenging to navigate the difficult feelings that may arise. This is an ongoing support group for people who are struggling with the death of a loved one. It is designed to give participants the opportunity to explore their “story of loss” — the story of your person who has died, your relationship with them, and the life you live now. This group meets online through a videoconferencing platform.

Together, we can find ways to face those challenges head-on with courage and authenticity, and embark on a journey toward self-discovery, healing, and peace of mind.

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

Please don’t ask me to help you become "normal" (most damaging concept ever, IMO) because you can and should aim higher than that. But please do ask me for help learning about, and becoming, your very own unique self, in all your beautiful, hilarious, infuriating, idiosyncratic glory. As with most big undertakings, this work can be rough going at times. But if you're like most of the folks who come through here -smart, creative, successful, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already, whether in an official therapeutic context or otherwise- you are, by this point, more than ready to get into the trenches.
This is a space to dive deeper into one's experience of non-normative gender in a safe & supportive environment. We aim to empower members to share experiences, provide support, & bear witness to the challenges & triumphs of exploring gender identity & transition. We welcome those of transgender, non-binary, & genderqueer identities, or anyone questioning where they fall on the spectrum. Topics discussed may include dysphoria, fluidity, navigating/considering medical transition, relationships, & cultivating joyful self-expression in a culture that enforces a strict gender binary. Together we will support each other in our journeys towards living authentically in our gender and ourselves.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

They will have the opportunity to try out new roles and new behaviors in a safe and compassionate space. The group currently meets virtually on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 7:30. When in person we will meet in Park Slope.
