I chose a career in therapy because human connection is essential to me. We live within systems and constructs built on things like capitalism, patriarchy, and colonization. They are not built for most humans. I feel that genuinely and authentically connecting with others is the only way to survive these systems. Through connection, we learn and develop who we truly are. I hope you can explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion through the connection we create in therapy.

I live outside the box and wouldn’t have it any other way. As a queer, femme, cis-ish, Jewish, neurodivergent, non-monogamous trauma survivor, I benefit from many intersections of privilege and experience historically oppressed intersections. Throughout my journey, I learned to develop self-compassion that was not always extended by the systems I engaged with. Therefore, I am passionate about helping people heal the trauma caused by living within these systems and not fitting into society’s rigid boxes.

I have a wide range of interests, including ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, a person’s relationship to pornography, the impact of trauma on a person’s relationship to sex, social justice, relational work with neurodiverse populations, grief and loss, queerness, and dismantling internalized biases (fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism, heteronormativity, monogamy, etc.).

I believe connection is vital to healing, growth, and development. In the counseling room, I use an eclectic approach of Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems with a multicultural feminist lens to help address and acknowledge the way that systems impact individuals and individuals impact systems.Through deconstructing our narratives and understanding how we
may have internalized values and ideas that do not align with our own, we can begin to change the narratives that are not serving us. Because of the way we talk about or don’t
talk about certain topics in our greater society, people may be prone to believe that their relationship with said topic is not how it “should” be. Through my therapeutic work, I hope to be able to bring validation, empowerment, and compassion to your narrative and experiences around whatever it is you are wanting to work on.

My style of therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and non-judgmental. I believe therapy is best when it is flexible and dynamic because it allows me to meet you where you are while considering your context. My work involves considering and acknowledging the role of racism, sexism, heteronormativity, fat phobia, and ableism in your life. I believe these are all public health issues and should be addressed for communal and societal healing to occur.
