As a New York state-based counselor, member of the LGBTQ+ community, and racial justice ally, I take an anti-oppressive, sex/kink/ENM-affirming, faith/spirituality-welcoming, Health At Every Size (HAES), disability justice, and survivor-friendly stance towards counseling. If you’re looking to deepen your relationship with yourself and others, rebuild and strengthen narratives, process experiences, learn or refine coping skills, and/or develop a collaborative and supportive therapeutic alliance, I’m eager to be a part of that journey with you. I work with New York state-based individuals of all ages as well as couples and families.

I provide services that weave together my various experiences as well as evidence-based modalities. By bringing together different schools of thought, we can work together to find the best fit for you and tailor therapy to your needs through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic alliance.

My mission is to use the therapeutic relationship as a way to build connection, strengthen interpersonal skills, and identify dynamics at play in 1 on 1 settings. I am eager to get to know my clients well and to work towards inner connection and self-compassion, as opposed to correction and "fixing" oneself.

I like to tailor each session to your needs, meaning that if a more cognitive behavioral approach works best for you, we will lean more that way, while still tying in other modalities as needed. By tying together various methods, for example, narrative therapy and CBT, we can explore how your internal narratives and stories are impacted by thought processes, schemas, and thinking traps.
