about me
My work is grounded in a deep belief that healing must be relational, liberatory, and rooted in community care. I offer individual therapy sessions and specialize in complex trauma-responsive therapy, substance misuse, relational and attachment therapy, and abolitionist clinical frameworks — offering care to individuals. I hold an LMSW from New York University, with a concentration in Complex Trauma and a specialization in co-occurring Substance Use Disorders and Severe Mental Illness.
I operate from the belief that clients feel safer and braver when they have clarity about their therapist's identities and values — so I believe in naming them openly. Some of my identities include: White, Jewish, Cis-Woman, Capricorn. I identify proudly as an individual, therapeutic, and community abolitionist.
clinical framework & modalities
My integrative approach draws from:
Attachment-Based & Emotion-Focused Therapy
Complex Trauma Systems Therapy
Relational-Cultural Therapy
Family Systems Therapy
Psychodynamic Approaches
Trauma-Responsive & Abolitionist Frameworks
Strengths-Based & Trauma-Focused Approaches
Comprehensive DBT

My practice is deeply informed by somatic healing, critical race theory, intersectional feminism, queer theory, and the active dismantling of whiteness within mental health structures.
areas of focus
My therapeutic partnership history includes working with people who have not seen themselves reflected or heard in traditional therapy or wellness spaces. Focus areas include:
Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
Substance Misuse & Harm Reduction
Highly Sensitive & Empathic People
OCD
Grief & Loss
Recovery from Diet Culture & Body Shame
Those impacted by the criminal and family court systems
I work to cultivate spaces of self-compassion and shame resilience, while supporting clients through a lens of liberation, justice, and systemic awareness. I firmly operate from a harm reduction perspective and am committed to gender, racial, and body liberation.
therapy with values
Therapy, to me, should be relational, deep, collaborative, and transformational. I work from non-pathologizing frameworks — meaning I seek to understand how your patterns make sense given your lived experiences. I bring curiosity and compassion to everything you carry, and I'm interested in how you've learned to adapt and keep yourself safe.
I operate from a core belief: you are the expert of your own experience. I deeply value your innate wisdom and take a collaborative approach — working with you, not on you.
My practice is informed by a bottom-up approach to healing: identifying the root rather than just treating the symptom, and building dual awareness between feeling and thinking. I also draw on principles of coherence therapy and memory reconsolidation.
I acknowledge the role that oppressive systems play in trauma and mental health, and I am committed to providing anti-oppressive, affirming care for people of all identities and cultural backgrounds. While spaces can rarely be completely safe, I work with intention and care to neutralize the power dynamic that exists between therapist and client — centering your expertise of your own life.
Therapy is political. I show up to this work with that conviction. I am committed to abolition, liberation, and justice — inside and outside the therapy room.
