Psychologist

Virtual • New York


If you are feeling stuck in a cycle of trauma, managing a chronic health crisis, or navigating a major life transition, you do not have to carry it alone.

I am a doctoral-level psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and military families find clarity and resilience during their most overwhelming seasons. My practice is grounded in a calm, seasoned approach developed across diverse settings, from intensive inpatient units to delicate palliative care.

I bring deep expertise to supporting those facing the heavy overlap of physical health conditions and psychological trauma, as well as veterans and military families processing service-related experiences, deployment stress, and structural transitions. I also specialize in helping individuals navigate identity, systemic challenges, and family dynamics related to acculturation and immigrant stress across the lifespan, while providing a steady, expert space during major life transitions like grief, medical diagnoses, or existential shifts.

In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to untangle your experiences at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we will build actionable strategies to move you out of survival mode and toward genuine healing. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out to schedule an initial consultation

I am a queer non-binary transmasc therapist whose goal is that, with me, you can feel safe and honored. Feeling comfortable sharing may not feel easy or immediate, so I aim to stay present, mindful and non-judgmental, inviting you be at ease to bring your full self to our sessions. My therapeutic style is relational, allowing freedom of expression to occur in our dynamic. I value the way the mind and body are intricately connected and inform our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am guided by therapeutic modalities such as DBT, somatic experiencing, internal family systems and polyvagal theories, as well as psychedelic integration. I am trauma focused and aware of the way trauma can become stuck in our nervous systems responses. I want to help support you in creating satisfying change, so that you feel connected and engaged in your life. I have 20 yrs experience in the field of mental health and 10 yrs experience as a clinician. I have significant experience working with queer/LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, people who are HIV+, survivors of religious trauma, sex workers, mental health crises, developmental trauma and people diagnosed with personality disorders.I will do my best to honor your specific life experience and the strength you have as your life's narrator.

I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".
