My professional background includes working in Rikers Island as a therapist, working as a virtual EAP provider as well as private practice. My specific areas are individual therapy of those 13 years and older, with a heavy focus on trauma therapy and gender affirming care. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space while also challenging you when necessary. I tend to be more direct and value building a strong therapeutic relationship above all.

Rewriting your story in other words is a good practice. I enjoy supporting individuals ages 16+ with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and complex trauma. Finding the right tools that work for you and help you to achieve your specific goals in therapy is invaluable. I’ve been practicing for 15 years, but in the last few years, I have shifted my main focus to couples who are struggling with relationships.
