LGBT therapists in Yonkers, NY

I have a professional history of assisting clients who are in recovery from incarceration, substance use, complex trauma (including socioeconomic and spiritual oppression), cis- and hetero-normativity, and causing harm. My cultural competence extends from alternative (BDSM, polyamory, occultist, etc.) to traditional (family-oriented, religious, etc.) lifestyles.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and free from judgment. I work collaboratively and believe therapy should meet you where you are. My goal is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence as you navigate what brought you to therapy.

My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, non-monogamous, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.

I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.

I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.

After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.

Im a Native New Yorker and a Clinal Social Worer, with over 20 years experience in a vareity of settings. My style is best described as warm, understanding, honest and direct.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to do it alone. I truly believe that vulnerability is a strength—it’s often where real growth begins. Everyone comes in with their own story, goals, and hopes, and I take that seriously. In our work together, you won’t just be “a client”—you’ll be an active part of the process. We’ll work side by side to better understand what you’re going through, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest with yourself, explore what’s been holding you back, and discover what’s possible when you start showing up for yourself in new ways.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My priority is to help you achieve wellbeing in your relational, emotional, and mental health. I look forward to connecting with you on your goals for therapy, and how we can achieve them together!
