She/Her/Hers

Growth often emerges through our most challenging moments. As an interactive therapist, I create a space where you can explore your inner world with curiosity and compassion. Together, we'll unpack your experiences, discover new perspectives, and develop tools that resonate with your unique journey. While I'll share insights and suggestions, you remain the expert on your own life—my role is to support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and alive.

 

My Approach

I am a neuroinclusive, trauma-informed clinician integrating mindfulness into my role as an therapist, educator, advocate, supervisor, and critical thinker. Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion aren't just values I hold, they're woven into every aspect of my practice. I believe deeply in intersectional healing, where validation and vulnerability become catalysts for profound transformation.

 

Professional Background

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, families, and organizations as they navigate trauma, addiction, and significant life transitions. My practice welcomes people with disabilities, those in non-monogamous and/or kink relationships, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My Journey

My path to therapy began in social justice and community organizing, where I learned that systemic change and individual healing are deeply interconnected. I've contributed to organizations including Friends, The National Association of Young People Who Stutter, Gray Panthers, Harlem United, Henry Street Settlement House, Institute for Community Living, National Stuttering Association, Post Graduate Center for Mental Health, and TRI Center, each experience shaping my understanding of how community and personal transformation intersect.

 

Community Leadership

I'm honored to be a co-founder of:

• Passing Twice: A Place for LGBT People and Their Allies

• Manhattan Stuttering Group

 

I also serve as a moderator for the Clinicians Who Stutter panel during International Stuttering Awareness Day, continuing my commitment to representation and accessibility in mental health spaces.

 

My Promise to You

I believe in the transformative power of care and the incredible potential that lives within each person. It would be my honor to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your most authentic, empowered self.
