I am an insight-oriented, person-centered, and sex-positive therapist who leads with curiosity. I see clients of all identities, and I specialize in the care and unique needs of queer, kinky, and nonmonogamous people, as well as those with a background in sex work. I am skilled in helping clients navigate issues related to gender identity, sexuality, alternative relationship structures, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and attachment concerns. My work is trauma-informed and driven by principles of consent. I will meet you where you are on your journey in a non-judgmental and compassionate way.
I am a graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, with a specialized field of practice certificate in Gender and Sexuality. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years working in theatre; as such, I integrate my experience working in artist care into my practice as a holistic-thinking clinician.
I see adult clients on an individual basis, and in relationship structures of two or more. I offer remote sessions for folks in NY and NJ, as well as in-person sessions in lower Manhattan. My practice is guided by values of anti-oppression, and seeks to honor and celebrate client autonomy and individuality. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Groups
Bisexual+ Visibility Therapy Group - Virtual
VIRTUAL - This is a group for folks identifying under the multisexual umbrella (bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, fluid, etc.) who are looking to explore common experiences, build community, and hear external perspectives. Members of this group may be partnered, solo, monogamous, nonmonogamous, any gender, and anywhere on the “outness” spectrum. Potential themes we will explore: invisibility in straight-/gay-passing relationships, feeling “queer enough”, coming out, cultural invalidation/stigma, navigating queer spaces, and connection to queer community. 8-week commitment from April 21-June 9th, 2026. Meets virtually via Zoom. Participants must be located in New York or New Jersey.
