Clinician

I'm a clinical social worker with a passion for trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming mental health care. My goal is to help you heal and thrive in your relationship with yourself and others.

I work with teenagers 15+ and adults of all ages. I especially love supporting LGBTQ+ young people (and their families) with identity exploration and navigating stress and life transitions.

I think therapy shouldn’t only be a place to talk about the problems you’re facing, but also a space to recognize and celebrate your strengths. I use a variety of modalities, all with a “person-centered” approach. This means that I see you as the expert in your life, and we will customize our work together to support your needs and goals.

I became a social worker in part because of my own difficulties as a young adult who struggled to find a trans therapist with availability *and* who took my insurance, and I wanted to help decrease that barrier for others. I love learning about all the ways that our brains and bodies and emotions are connected. I care about social justice, and I’m a deep listener who enjoys supporting others. I am humbly committed to antiracism and I’m always learning about the ways we can push back against oppression on personal and institutional levels.

In my spare time I enjoy learning languages (currently Yiddish, Spanish, Greek, and Biblical Hebrew), making art in community, learning about LGBTQ+ history, being in nature, and doting on my cat.
