About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentialed to conduct psychotherapy in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida (via telehealth), specializing in LGBTQQIA+ spectrum health and wellness. I am a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

After graduating from Hunter’s Silberman School of Social Work in 2009, I began practicing in an urban medical setting in the South Bronx where I counseled newly diagnosed and perinatally infected HIV+ children, adolescents and adults. I then went on to serve as supervisor in NYC’s Human Resources Administration’s HIV/AIDS Services Administration’s (HASA) Emergency Housing Placement Unit where I advocated on behalf of unhoused people living with HIV to obtain and secure supportive housing placement.

I have clinical expertise in areas including: HIV/AIDS and access to PrEP, coming out, trans/queer/NB identity exploration, alternative relationships including open/ENM, phase of life issues, and emotional states including stress, grief, bereavement, depression, anxiety, psychosis and complex trauma.

The mission of my practice is to provide informed care to those representing intersectional identities and backgrounds. However you define your gender and sexuality, I will meet you where you are. Together we will address the problems bringing you to therapy, including identifying any negative thought patterns and other barriers standing in the way of you and your wellbeing. My practice offers an inviting and affirming space to do so, and my relational style is warm and collaborative.
