With 7 years of experience working with young adults, adults, caregivers, and geriatric clients, I specialize in providing compassionate care for those navigating grief, life transitions, chronic illness, and end-of-life challenges.
Welcome!

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, chronic illness, or relationship challenges?
I have extensive experience working with people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. You will learn problem-solving skills, be provided emotional support, and work through life changes, allowing you to see your circumstances as a personal growth opportunity instead of a burden or obstacle.

I often work with trauma, chronic illness or chronic pain, men's issues, professional or life transitions, and I see a lot of actors, journalists, and creative professionals.
I believe that speaking honestly to a compassionate human listener can be healing. I’ve trained in relational psychodynamic, somatic (or body-based) therapies, group therapy, anti-oppressive practices, and the treatment of trauma. I also draw on extensive personal practice and study of Zen Buddhism. I currently see California based clients in-person or online and I see New York based clients online.

I have a special interest in working with first responders, parents, individuals with anxiety, sleep disorders, chronic illness, and those going through life changes.
I use an eclectic and person-centered approach to therapy. I have formal training in a variety of therapy modalities that I use at various times throughout the therapeutic relationship, with you as the guiding factor. I believe that each person’s experience is unique, and therapy should be a reflection of that!

My specialties are in: queer and trans couples (poly and kink positive), friends and siblings, navigating gender and sexuality (including people on the Ace/Aro spectrums), disability and chronic illness, and working with those that need support in learning to set and maintain boundaries.
I work with queer, trans, neurodivergent and disabled couples (including polycules), individuals, families, siblings and friends. As a queer and non-binary therapist with an invisible disability (Type 1 Diabetes), I pay particular attention to the impact of stigma and ensure my clients’ identities are not simply accepted — but embraced and celebrated. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. I collaborate with clients to move through challenges from a strengths-based perspective. I approach therapy through an anti-oppression, anti-diet, neurodiversity- affirming, fat liberation and disability justice framework.

I have a chronic illness, so I work best with clients who can be flexible with their availability as I sometimes need to reschedule for health reasons.
Too often, clients who are social justice-oriented, LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, or highly Covid-conscious have therapists that misunderstand them at best or pathologize them at worst. I aim to counterbalance that and fairly serve folks who are not always fully supported in mainstream therapy.

I specialize in treating those with chronic pain/ chronic illness and trauma
Welcome! Let's address the elephant in the room first! Yes I am BALD, by choice, due to alopecia, or hair loss. Due to my own personal medical issues, I have gained so much empathy for others and myself. I believe that counseling is an exploration of our personal lives, and can lead to a discovery of the best versions of ourselves. A therapist should be there as an empathic person who can assist you in understanding why you are currently "stuck" and help you explore your options for a more satisfying life.

I have a decade of clinical experience working with adult populations who have experienced an array of challenges including depression, anxiety, chronic illness, life transitions, and substance misuse.
I believe it is essential to tailor each client's treatment plan to their individualized goals, aspirations, vulnerabilities, and unique characteristics; therapy should not be a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I seek to first understand what brought each client to therapy at this specific point in time, identify the change(s) they wish to see in their lives, set practical goals, and work together on getting there.

I have a specific expertise in perinatal support and maternal wellness; chronic illness in the family especially in children; grief and bereavement especially in pregnancy, infant, and child loss and supporting children processing the death of a family member; and support of healthcare workers facing compassion fatigue, especially in pediatrics, intensive care units, and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I create a space where you feel safe in sharing openly and authentically. I empower you to direct your therapeutic experience and then support you in moving through self-reflection and growth by utilizing a strengths-based approach combining talk therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based practice.

For the past 13 years, I’ve had the honor of supporting individuals and families facing the complexities of cancer and chronic illness in a large urban hospital in NYC.
In addition to individual therapy, I provide couples therapy and deeply value supporting partners as they face life’s challenges together. While illness can intensify relationship dynamics, even couples not facing health crises encounter challenges—be it communication breakdowns, life transitions, or unmet expectations.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship issues, as well as chronic illness and shifts in religious beliefs or identity.
I have years of experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in working with people dealing with anxiety or depression, struggling with relationships, feeling a low sense of self-worth, or grappling with the effects of trauma. I primarily use a person-centered psychodynamic approach that is gentle and unstructured.

I work with clients regarding accidents, surgeries, chronic illness, addiction and recovery, ancestor work and the stressors of daily life and systemic trauma.
Would you like to learn about strengthening resilience to further trauma and stress in your body and mind? My goal is to teach you somatic tools that you can use independently for a relationship with a more settled, grounded nervous system. I can help you create a calmer nervous system free of the higher highs and lower lows of trauma activation. Greater regulation can help you resolve stress and increase health. Together we can reduce anxiety and startle response, lessen fatigue, address pain and inflammation and learn about regulation. If you are curious about resolving trauma responses in your nervous system, I can help.
