Great to meet you!

I believe therapy is a partnership, where we work together to identify your goals, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in your life. I am deeply compassionate- and fun! We will laugh together but not be afraid to confront the hard stuff. I am committed to you leaving sessions feeling stronger than when you arrived.

My approach to therapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Credentialed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II) licensed in California and New York. My approach is trauma-informed and focused on helping clients gain deeper insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building on their existing strengths. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly transgender and gender-diverse communities, and am committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care. I also specialize in supporting adults who are looking to reduce the negative impacts of substance use.

What you can expect from me

You will leave with something new to consider and be thinking about.
