A collaborative, intuitive space where your story is honored without pathologizing. We’ll slow down together-making space for grief, joy, uncertainty, and insight. I’ll meet you with curiosity, warmth, and attunement as we move at the pace your body and spirit are ready for.

I bring a steady, intuitive, and heart-centered presence into the room. I show up with warmth and depth, offering a space where all parts of you are welcome-grief, uncertainty, joy, and everything in between. I don’t rush the process. I meet you where you are, with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for your inner wisdom. Clients often say they feel grounded, seen, and gently supported in our work together.

co-creating space where we can slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what feels true and alive within you. I support change by tending to the nervous system, honoring grief, and helping you reclaim meaning, agency, and connection on your own terms.

My practice is shaped by liberation psychology, feminist and decolonial theory, queer and collective healing movements, and ecowork. I’m deeply influenced by thinkers like Gabor Maté, Thich Nhat Hanh, Audre Lorde, and Viktor Frankl, as well as by grief rituals, ancestral wisdom, and the natural world. These lineages remind me that healing is not just personal; it’s relational, embodied, and shaped by the stories and systems we move within. I don’t see grief as something to move through quickly or alone, but as something to carry, honor, and make space for, both individually and in community. Therapy, for me, is a space to witness that grief, reconnect with meaning, and move toward both collective and personal liberation.

I’m passionate about supporting people in reconnecting with themselves, with others, and with the world around them. I help clients navigate identity, life transitions, trauma, grief, and self-worth, while fostering presence, meaning, and emotional resilience. I also love supporting people in rediscovering creativity, joy, and play, and aligning more fully with their mind, body, and spirit.

I’m especially passionate about working with queer, trans, and gender-expansive individuals; BIPOC and multiracial communities; Jewish folks exploring cultural or ancestral identity; neurodivergent clients; and people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability. I’m drawn to holding space for those whose experiences have been overlooked or pathologized, and who are seeking care that is affirming, liberatory, and relational.

My ideal client is someone who’s curious about themselves and open to growth, even if that growth feels messy or uncertain. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, but they’re willing to reflect, try new approaches, and build a deeper relationship with themselves. I especially enjoy working with people who are open to exploring both inner and outer transformation, those interested in healing not just symptoms, but their sense of meaning, embodiment, and connection.

I find it deeply meaningful to support clients working through self-worth challenges, people-pleasing, grief and loss, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. I’m especially drawn to work that weaves in mindfulness, spirituality, and existential questions, and helps people live with more presence, purpose, and authenticity. I also enjoy supporting clients navigating burnout, boundaries, body image, and inner child work, especially among empaths, creatives, and activists. It’s rewarding to help people reconnect with their bodies, process non-ordinary states (including psychedelic experiences), and rebuild trust in themselves and others.

I love witnessing clients begin to trust themselves more: setting boundaries, expressing needs, and speaking from a place of clarity. It’s powerful to see someone move from self-doubt to grounded confidence, from burnout to inner calm. I find deep joy in supporting people as they rediscover what brings them meaning, play, and connection, often for the first time in a long time.

Healing is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what’s whole. I draw from liberation psychology, somatic wisdom, systems thinking, and nature-based practices to support reconnection with self, others, and the natural world. I see therapy as a space to reclaim meaning, build resilience, and feel more alive, not just individually, but in community and connection with the world around us.

I don’t see myself as the expert on your life: you are. My role is to walk alongside you as a guide, helping you uncover patterns, reconnect with your inner knowing, and deepen into your full self. Therapy with me isn’t just talk-based; it’s experiential, embodied, and relational. I draw from both Western and non-Western frameworks, honoring wisdom traditions, somatic practices, and the healing potential of altered states. Our work together may involve the mind, but also the body, spirit, and everything in between.

I believe that challenge and rupture are a natural part of the therapeutic process and also an opportunity for deeper healing. I approach difficult moments directly and collaboratively. If something feels off, we’ll slow down, name it together, and work to re-establish safety and trust. I don’t shy away from discomfort; I believe that when we face it with care and honesty, we often uncover the patterns that most need our attention.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration are areas I feel especially passionate about. I see altered states of consciousness, whether through medicine work or naturally arising, as powerful doorways into healing, insight, and reconnection. I support clients in preparing for, making meaning from, and integrating these experiences with care, humility, and grounded support.

Liberation: Healing is political. I support work that moves us toward collective freedom, not just individual coping.

Embodiment: The body holds stories, and healing often starts by listening to it.

Curiosity: We approach your inner world with openness and wonder, not judgment.

Authenticity: I show up as a real person in the room-not a blank slate.

Relationality: We heal in relationship-whether with self, others, community, or land.

Justice: My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, decolonial, and trauma-informed values.

Clients often describe me as warm, validating, and deeply present. I’ve been told I bring a calming, soft-spoken energy that helps people feel seen, heard, and safe. Many appreciate my patience, my authenticity, and the way I genuinely care. I’m known for breaking things down in accessible, grounded ways while also holding space for complexity, nuance, and the full range of emotions that come with healing.

My practice is deeply shaped by my own experiences of harm within the mental health system: spaces that often fail to see the whole person or hold complexity. These experiences led me to seek and practice healing beyond traditional models, drawing on spiritual development, non-ordinary states, and holistic approaches such as eco-therapy, sound healing, and herbalism. I also bring the wisdom of living with grief, trauma, and mental health challenges of my own, navigating these not in a vacuum, but within a society that often pathologizes pain while ignoring the roots of suffering. My work is rooted in the belief that healing must center the body, the land, and the larger systems we move within.

As a Jewish, trans person and the child of a Greek immigrant, I bring an embodied understanding of what it means to live at the intersections of multiple identities. I also live with chronic pain and disability, which deepens my commitment to pacing, accessibility, and honoring each person’s unique capacity. These parts of me help me show up with humility, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for resilience in all its forms. My lived experience informs a practice that is relational, justice-rooted, and attuned to the ways personal healing is shaped by collective histories.

I have experience supporting clients from a wide range of communities, including BIPOC, queer, trans, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist identities. I also work with immigrants and first-generation individuals navigating cross-cultural dynamics and identity development. My practice is grounded in disability justice and neurodivergent-affirming care, and I hold space for those living with chronic pain, illness, or sensory and cognitive differences.

My advocacy is rooted in collective liberation. I’m engaged in movements for Black lives, Palestinian freedom, queer and trans justice, psychedelic equity, food sovereignty, aging and disability rights, and the redistribution of power and resources in response to capitalism and economic inequality. These values shape both how I show up in the world and how I practice therapy: with a deep commitment to justice, community care, and systemic awareness.

I approach cultural differences with humility, curiosity, and consent. I don’t assume. I ask. I aim to create a space where difference is not only respected, but valued as a source of wisdom and resilience. When cultural dissonance arises, I see it as an opportunity to bridge understanding, reflect insight, and build deeper trust together.

Outside of work, I’m a nature lover, lifelong learner, and deeply curious human.

You’ll often find me rollerblading, stargazing, or brewing a new herbal concoction in my kitchen. I’ve been vegan for over 15 years and love experimenting with plant-based cooking(my favorite things are spicy), fermentation projects, and homemade kombucha.

I’m currently reconnecting with yoga, strength training, and martial arts, and I always make time to explore the natural world, whether through hiking, reading about space, or simply being present in nature.

I find joy in creating: through dye work, nature-based art, and writing.

I’m always chasing moments of awe, whether at live music shows, comedy nights, or under the stars during a meteor shower. My spirituality is woven into everyday life, and I’m continually drawn to the intersections of science, philosophy, and ancestral wisdom.

I’m also active in justice-oriented work and mutual aid, and I believe that personal healing and collective liberation are deeply interconnected.

I share life with a few beloved fur babies and deeply value time spent with friends, community, and chosen family.

I’m the child of older parents, which gave me a different perspective on time, care, and what it means to grow up close to aging. I tend to live in the in-between as equal parts dreamer and deep thinker and I’m drawn to both the mystical and the scientific. I’ve had vivid spiritual experiences that have shaped my approach to healing, and I believe in the body’s ability to hold wisdom beyond words. I also have a strong abstract and creative streak, which shows up in the way I connect ideas, make art, and hold space for nonlinear paths of transformation.

I hold a BA in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work (MSW), with professional training in trauma-informed care, suicide prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. In addition to formal clinical training, I’ve explored mindfulness practices, somatic healing approaches, and psychedelic-assisted therapy through personal study, peer learning, and community-based workshops. My approach is shaped by both academic knowledge and embodied, experiential learning across diverse healing traditions.

I stay engaged by attending professional trainings, community-based learning spaces, and events focused on justice-rooted and holistic mental health. I’m committed to self-development, whether through reading radical and reflective books, listening to podcasts by thought leaders and healers, or engaging in my own therapeutic and spiritual growth. I believe good therapists never stop learning, and I approach this path with humility, curiosity, and care.

I’m passionate about exploring how psychedelic healing can be made more accessible through group work, community integration, and justice-centered models of care. I believe psychedelic therapy should be a tool for collective healing, not just individual transformation, and I’m especially interested in intersecting this work with nature-based practices, sound healing, and arts-based approaches that honor nonverbal, embodied, and ancestral ways of knowing.

I believe the future of therapy should be radically accessible, decolonized from its Western clinical roots, and rooted in the collective, not just the individual. It should honor multiple ways of healing, center cultural and ancestral wisdom, and work toward liberation, not just symptom relief. Therapy should meet people where they are while helping us imagine and create more just, connected, and life-affirming futures.

My sessions are grounded in presence, curiosity, and meaningful connection. I show up with intention and care, offering a space where deep reflection, dialogue, and emotional honesty can unfold. While I bring evidence-based tools and structure when helpful, I also trust the wisdom of the moment, allowing space to follow what emerges. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported enough to bring your full self into the work.

I approach boundaries as an act of mutual care. I’m committed to creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and grounded in trust. This means being open to honest dialogue, engaging the work with curiosity and consistency, and tending to the relational dynamic when issues arise. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship where we’re both learning about the self, the world, and what it means to show up with presence and compassion. I also deeply respect your autonomy and trust your inner wisdom. You’re always invited to move at your own pace and voice what’s working or not in our time together. Life happens, and I understand that flexibility is sometimes needed; I simply ask that we stay in open communication when changes come up, so we can continue to care for the space we’re building.

Therapy may feel complete when you begin moving through life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust. You might notice you’re navigating challenges with greater ease, feeling more connected to yourself and others, or experiencing a renewed sense of meaning and emotional resilience. Sometimes therapy ends when you’ve gained the tools, insight, and grounding needed for this chapter of your life and you feel ready to step into what’s next. It’s not about being “done” or “healed,” but about feeling more equipped, whole, and capable. We’ll explore this together when the time feels right, and if needed, we’ll create a thoughtful transition plan. I believe endings are a sacred part of the process and we’ll treat it with the care it deserves.

I often recommend books that support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, their inner world, and the present moment. Some of my go-tos include:

Practicing the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle – for clients interested in building present-moment awareness and detaching from limiting thought patterns.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Maté – a compassionate and humanizing exploration of addiction, trauma, and the roots of suffering.

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk – for understanding how trauma lives in the body and why somatic work is essential to healing.

Depending on each client’s interests, I might also suggest memoirs, poetry, or books on identity, grief, spirituality, and ancestral healing that reflect their lived experience.

I believe therapy can be deeply supported by other forms of care that tend to the body, spirit, and energetic systems. Depending on a client’s interest and access, I may recommend:

Acupuncture – for nervous system regulation and trauma support

Naturopathy or herbalism – to address physical imbalances and reconnect with natural healing

Sound healing or vibrational therapies – to access nonverbal, body-based release

Yoga or intuitive movement – to build body awareness and emotional integration

Nutrition support – to understand the mind-body connection through nourishment

These practices can be powerful companions to therapy, helping clients build a more holistic and sustainable foundation for healing.

I often recommend simple, accessible practices that help clients return to the body and regulate the nervous system. Some tools I draw from include:

Presence-based practices from Practicing the Power of Now, such as breath awareness and sensing into inner stillness

Somatic tracking and containment from My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem-especially helpful for working with racialized trauma and body-based safety

Forest bathing and barefoot walking- inspired by Japanese and Earth-based traditions, these practices invite grounding through the senses and connection with the natural world

I tailor these tools based on each client’s needs, always with a focus on consent, accessibility, and cultural relevance.
