I am a queer and non-binary NYS licensed psychotherapist with experience including but not limited to: trauma/abuse, racial/gender/sexual identity exploration, anxiety, depression, substance use, acculturation, and dismantling internalized inferiority and/or superiority. Listening, validation, curiosity, challenging, and accountability are important features of my approach to my work. Therapy for too long has been a space that perpetuates the harmful ideologies in psychology that are rooted in whiteness, capitalism, and dehumanization. Therefore, I draw upon queer, intersectional feminist, humanistic, multicultural, trauma-informed, decolonized, and anti-oppressive theories to foster an egalitarian and collaborative relationship. In therapy, I utilize tailored approaches that meet my clients needs and goals, which continue to adapt throughout the process. Through consultation, I amplify the messages and teachings of Queer, TGNC, & BIPOC to create affirming practices/policies. As a supervisor, I assist clinicians with developing culturally responsive approaches to therapy.
In-Person Covid Protocols/Protections: My office has a HEPA Filter that runs throughout the work-day. As a provider, I offer complimentary masks for those who would like one and I wear a mask during sessions for those who request this.
