In response to COVID-19, as of March 2020, all of my services, including therapy, are now being offered virtually. For remote therapy ("teletherapy"), I utilize a fully encrypted HIPAA-compliant video platform for sessions.
Patients will have the option to shift to in-person sessions at my Midtown Mahnhattan office in 2021, dependent on public health indicators.

Are you feeling disconnected from your authentic self, struggling with the same relationship conflicts over and over, or overwhelmed by endless microaggressions? I am here to support you through the individual and systems-level challenges in your life. Together we will explore new ways of being in relationship with others and deepen your connection to yourself.
I am part of the Critical Therapy Center, a liberation-oriented psychodynamic group practice based in Midtown Manhattan. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in LGBTQAI+ teens. I have extensive practice working with anxiety, chronic and invisible illnesses, substance use, and trauma. My work centers identity, including race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
I also specialize in supporting clinicians and social workers who are looking for their own therapy. I have extensive experience with healing vicarious trauma, burnout, and the effects of workplace trauma (eg. patient loss, or workplace violence).
About Working Together
All of my fees are based on a sliding scale in order to work with a range of people, including a limited number of deeply discounted low-income slots. Because I am an out of network therapist, you may be eligible for reimbursement for some portion of my fees. I can help you determine what your coverage entitles you to.

Approach & Background
My practice interweaves a background in contemplative psychology and mindfulness with nearly two decades of social justice activism. Healing as individuals requires spaces to heal from the trauma of structural oppression and dominance, so I center anti-racist/anti-oppressive, LGBTQAI+-affirming, and feminist values in all of my work. My style as a therapist is warm and challenging, compassionate and direct.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). This means that I completed two years of graduate studies in clinical social work and over 1000 hours of practice as a student intern. After graduating I completed over 2000 hours of supervised clinical practice, and passed two state board examinations in New York. As an LCSW, I am licensed to provide a range of mental health services, including counseling, treatment, assessments, and diagnosis. I am not licensed to prescribe medication (only psychiatrists and doctors can do this), but I can make referrals for medication-related treatment as needed.
