about me

My work is grounded in a deep belief that healing must be relational, liberatory, and rooted in community care. I 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 identify proudly as an individual, therapeutic, and community abolitionist. Some of my identities: White, Jewish, Cis-Woman, Capricorn. 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.

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

  • Trauma-Focused CBT

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Somatic Experiencing & Embodiment Practices (Ceremonial and Ancestral practices)

  • Plant Medicine

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

I have a particular history 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.

let's work together

If you feel seen or reflected in what you've read, and sense we might be aligned — please reach out. I'd love to begin the process of harvesting healing together.

I am licensed in New York, California, and Maine.
