I’m a queer, nonbinary demi-femme, neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering creative, trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, and young adults (ages 8–35) in NY and MA. My work blends narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, play therapy, and somatic practices. I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and adults navigating identity exploration, anxiety, grief, depression, and complex trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and adaptable — we don’t force you into a model; we build something that fits. I’m especially drawn to working with sensitive, creative, and justice-minded clients who want a space that feels both grounded and expansive. Healing can be meaningful — and even playful.
I am in-network with Optum, United, UMR, GEHA, Oxford, and BCBSMA. I am out-of-network but can submit claims for Aetna or Wellpoint.
