Psychotherapist, Supervisor

Adults & Adolescents

Greenpoint Location & Telehealth

My therapeutic approach is one of warmth, humor, and empathy, where all parts of yourself are welcomed and supported. Together, we’ll build a space that allows us to unpack painful feelings and experiences, as well as celebrate progress and build on your successes. I see my role as helping you deeply understand yourself, your relationships, and your past, but as also helping you work on practical steps toward your future and your goals.

I practice using primarily an integration of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a psychodynamic, relational approach, and my approach is always trauma-informed and strengths-based. We can collaborate together on the approach that works for you, and adjust it as you and your needs change.

I have over 5 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults on a range of challenges, primarily anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and trauma, especially gender-based violence and childhood abuse.

I have an additional focus on serving queer, trans, and non-binary clients. I hold a commitment to using therapy as an anti-oppressive space where you can understand and manage the impact of racism, sexism, fatphobia, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of systemic oppression.

Therapy works best in the context of a strong, meaningful relationship. I hope that we can be partners in helping you grow in self-knowledge, healing, and joy.
