Therapy & Coaching Services

I specialize in working with issues of complex and adulthood trauma, LGBTQ+ populations, and expansive sexualities such as polyamory/non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and sex work. I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a therapy modality that utilizes the body to help clients develop resources and heal trauma and attachment issues. 

I approach therapy and coaching from a holistic and trauma-informed lens, utilizing somatic (body-based), emotion-focused, mindfulness-informed modalities as well as incorporating tools from traditional approaches like psychodynamic, CBT (cognitive-behavioral), and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), where appropriate and with clients' consent. 

I also believe that forms of social oppression such as racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, and so on, operate as traumas and stressors as well and thus, are of concern as barriers to wellness. My work is grounded in the principles of non-judgment, positive regard, harm reduction, and compassion. I am currently training in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) with Janina Fisher and have completed Level 1 training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapist. I earned my Masters in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College.

I am queer, femme, non-binary, a trauma survivor, neurodiverse, and chronic pain/illness experience-identified. While I always ask permission in sessions about self-disclosure, I strongly believe that my humanity is what makes therapy and coaching effective.
