Associate Therapist
- (at Blue Canary Psychotherapy)
Degrees/cert: LMSW (NY: 127798). I received my MSW from Columbia University and previously earned a dual degree in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Philosophy at The College of Wooster. I have experience working with sexual trauma and domestic violence survivors, sex workers, those who are HIV/STI positive, and adults with disabilities, as well as providing sexual health education. I hold a certificate in prolonged grief therapy from the Prolonged Grief Institute and am in the process of obtaining a traumatic stress studies certification.
As someone who is a survivor and grew up queer and neurodivergent in a small conservative town, I understand the importance of having a safe space where you can explore all of the different facets of yourself. My goal is to co-create an environment with you where you feel empowered to show up authentically, to explore, nurture, and hold every facet of your identity with compassion.
Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just trying to make it through the day? Are you wanting a space where you can explore sexuality, identity, gender, and kink without feeling shamed? Maybe you’re struggling with reconnecting to your body and mind after sexual/relational trauma.
I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy, cultivating a space where we can work together to bring more ease, joy, and self-connection into your life.
Special focus on:
Queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks
Somatic and mindfulness based work, IFS, and neurodivergent-affirming CBT
Healing from sexual trauma and CPTSD
