Transgender Therapists in Murray Hill, New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with ten years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, young adults and families. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and evidence-based. I take great care to tailor my treatment approach to the unique goals of each client. In general, I strive to help clients both understand the underlying causes of their difficulties while simultaneously developing the skills needed for more immediate relief. I received my training at Fordham University and the Yale School of Medicine. I am currently on faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process. I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, sexual issues, sexual and gender identity exploration, health concerns, artistic blockages, addiction, parenting, and fertility issues.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and focus around issues of grief and loss, trauma, transitions, and relationships (including non-traditional ones such as polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, etc.).

Being a psychologist in New York City means that I see clients from every walk of life, which is a welcoming experience for me, and one I am well equipped to handle due to my own unique cultural background.

​Dealing with difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations can be challenging and isolating.

I am constantly learning from my clients who are the expert of their own lives. Additionally, I utilize an advanced evidence-based approach to cognitive behavioral therapy and my holistic approach aims to empower you!
