I work with all kinds of people on a wide range of concerns. My approach to therapy is shaped by the belief that even our most maladaptive coping strategies are often shaped by experiences of struggle rather than innate pathology. My goal is to support you in establishing an open, curious space to explore your experiences and history, increase your self understanding, and move toward the life you want for yourself. As a therapist, I draw on relational, psychodynamic, feminist, and existential approaches. For me, this means that I am interested in how our histories, experiences, and relationships shape who we are, who we become, and how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and our place in the world.
My social work practice is centered in anti-oppressive, anti-racist, harm reduction, and social justice frameworks. I utilize a health-at-every-size (HAES), intuitive eating, and harm reduction approach in work related to body image and food. It is important to me to create space in my practice for those who hold marginalized identities, including queer and trans folks, people in non-monogamous or poly relationships, and anyone who has experienced oppression or struggle.
I provide brief and long-term individual psychotherapy through Thomas Jefferson University's Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior. Services are available via telemedicine for patients located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in person in Center City, Philadelphia. If you are interested in working with me for psychotherapy, please contact the practice directly at (215)955-8420 regarding availability, rates, and insurance.

Letters for Gender-affirming Surgery
I provide assessments and letters of support for clients seeking gender-affirming surgery utilizing an informed consent model. I provide letters of support for ongoing therapy clients through my practice at Jefferson. I also provide letters of support for clients who are not working with me for ongoing therapy through my private practice. I am typically able to write a letter of support following one appointment. This service is available via telemedicine for adults who are 18+ in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. I utilize a sliding fee scale for this service, beginning at $0. I am committed to reducing barriers to care for trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people, and provide pro bono letters if needed, based on your own self-assessment of your need. If you are interested in an evaluation and letter for gender-affirming surgery, please contact me directly for more information and availability.
Supervision, Consultation, and Training
I provide clinical supervision, consultation, and training for professionals and organizations related to work with trans, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as harm reduction and anti-oppressive approaches to social work practice. I provide clinical supervision to Licensed Social Workers in Pennsylvania who are pursuing hours for their clinical licensure, and am available for both brief and ongoing consultation for clinicians and other providers. Please contact me directly for more information.
