My clinical style is pragmatic, active and flexible.  I take your concerns and treatment seriously, but not myself too seriously. I welcome laughter and questions in session. Having worked in LGBTQ community mental health for over 15 years, I am well versed in the stressors and problems that come with living outside of hetero/gender norms.

I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, an evidenced-based treatment for trauma) trained therapist and find this technique extremely helpful to clients experiencing symptoms of trauma & anxiety.  I also incorporate the following approaches in my work:

• Psycho-dynamic

• Cognitive Behavioral 

• Harm Reduction

As a Queer-identified parent, I am happy to support clients around a variety of topics including coming out, transition and parenthood.

My office is located in Chelsea, Manhattan.
