I have a passion and commitment to serve adolescents, adults, and partners throughout New York State via telehealth. I provide affirming, trauma informed therapy, and my therapeutic style is relational, emotion focused, systemically informed, and includes a mind-body connection framework. I work with clients to build trust and safety, and collaborate on goals.
I am dedicated to building a practice that serves folks who have historically been left out of therapeutic healing due to systemic forces. I support clients with trauma recovery, PTSD, depression, anxiety, body positivity, life purpose, grief and loss. Other specialties include neurodivergence, gender and sexual identity, and ethical non-monogamy.
I know that taking the first step in ones therapeutic journey can be vulnerable and take courage. Finding the right fit and navigating and negotiating a new relationship isn't always easy. I like to connect to clients with authenticity, compassion, and respect, and invite you to come as you are. Please feel free to reach out for a free phone consultation.
