I am a clinician who is committed to high quality services for my clients. As an LGBTQ psychotherapist, I believe it is essential to project my authentic self and to operate with integrity. I want every client to feel safe and secure when we engage in a therapeutic relationship. I have many years of experience teaching, researching and writing about the LGBTQ+ community. The therapeutic approaches that I utilize from a philosophical and practical standpoint, include affirmative, client-centered, ACT, existential, and psychodynamic. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and New York University with a Master of Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-R in New York State #088363.
