As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a queer therapist, I believe that therapy is different for every individual. My passion for understanding people and relationships has always been driven by curiosity. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and have experience working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. As a career changer, my previous career in advertising and fashion informs my extensive experience working with clients in the performing arts and other creative fields.

Starting or returning to therapy can be overwhelming.

I provide psychotherapy for adult individuals and couples in New York City. My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety and depression, shame, trauma and sexual abuse, addictions and compulsions and relationship issues. Many of the individuals who come to see me feel "stuck," unable to achieve their goals, form deep relationships or experience their lives as meaningful. We work together collaboratively, exploring thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and desires to locate solutions. The couples that I see are struggling with communication; I teach them a new way of listening, allowing them to get to the core of their conflicts.

I work well with couples who are experiencing difficulties with communication, trust, violence, infidelity, divorce, and trauma. I am trained in EMDR and Focusing-Oriented therapy.

With over 15 years’ experience as a bilingual Psychotherapist working with very diverse populations from adults to adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD I learned that not everyone feels comfortable going to speak to a therapist in a traditional setting like an office. This is why I offer “Walk Talk Therapy” and mobile therapy. I want to eliminate as many barriers as possible for you to get the help you need. Just as we are all encouraged to exercise for our physical health, I believe everyone should connect with a professional therapist to strengthen one’s emotional health.

All individuals posses inherent wisdom and the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of adults and couples and helping them grow. Together we will explore your inner worlds and outer relationships as a path to self-discovery. Along the way we will uncover difficult and stuck spaces and recognize behaviors and patterns that inhibit your growth in order to allow you to live a more authentic, fulfilled, and meaningful life. My aim is to create a space that allows you to feel safe, supported, validated and at the same time also challenged. You are not alone.

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

When your world is overwhelming or chaotic, numb or lifeless, therapy can help address debilitating symptoms and find ways to cope. At the same time, we can work together to identify unacknowledged emotions, fears, desires, and entrenched patterns so that you can form new ways of living with meaning and vitality. In my work with adults and children, I attend to dreams, language, and reverie to understand how the past lives in the present in both prohibitive and nourishing ways.

As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I’m interested in your own experience, which is both singular and interwoven with the world around you. I believe the ways that you suffer are also the ways you learned how to survive, and that it is through examining the nature of these automatic patterns that you can discover new possibilities. My approach is to listen closely so I can come to learn your unique way of being. The more you understand yourself in the context of your history, the more range and agency you will have.

I am a warm and engaged psychologist. My collaborative work is grounded in an understanding of the shaping forces of relationships, affect, and experience. I offer a safe space, where we will understand and explore your challenges – discovering ways to enhance your life.

Everyone goes through ups and downs and some times are tougher than others. Perhaps you have experienced struggles and trauma in your life that have shaped how you feel about yourself and the world around you. Possibly you have a vision for what you think your life should look like, but struggle with with which path to take. You may be early in your career and unsure of your direction. Maybe you recently moved and are feeling unsettled. You may struggle to feel connection with in your relationships. You want to lead a more authentic life and feel more fulfilled and are seeking support in figuring out how.

It is common to find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lost, stuck, or detached. These emotions can feel scary, isolating, and even unbearable. I view therapy as an opportunity to co-create an open space to be curious and honest about our internal experiences, and explore the ways such internal experiences impact our external lives. Through the creation of a safe, supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, my goal is to empower clients with an understanding and acceptance of self. It is through this that clients may feel less anxiety and depression, more connectedness, and more at peace with oneself.
