I am a Trans Therapist Specializing in Addiction Recovery, Queer Identity, Polyamory, & Kink

I work with adults navigating identity, relationships, recovery, and emotional regulation through a queer- and trans-affirming, trauma-informed lens.
Clients often come to me for support with:
About Me
My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.
I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.
I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.
After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.
What I Offer
I offer virtual therapy to clients throughout New York State, including the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Capitol Region and New York City. I provide individual, couples, and relationship therapy, including work with non-monogamous and multi-partner constellations. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and rooted in values of autonomy, care, and harm reduction.
I also direct Queer Therapy NYC, a group practice grounded in collective care and identity-expansive frameworks. I supervise a team of queer and trans LMSW and LCSW therapists, and support them in growing practices that align with their values.
I offer consultation and mentorship for therapists, including:

My Values
I believe therapy can help us reconnect with what helps life feel more worth living—ease, pleasure, clarity, and care. These aren’t abstract ideals, but real, embodied experiences we can learn to trust and return to.
My work is grounded in respect for your autonomy and wholeness. I hold space for many ways of making meaning—through relationships, rituals, nature, movement, or whatever resonates most for you. I believe in the wisdom of the nervous system, lived experience, and the natural world.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and a down-to-earth presence to this work. You don’t need to be “fixed” to want more for yourself.
