My passion is supporting clients on their path to personal, spiritual, and relational growth. I strive to create a non-judgmental and affirming space where clients can bring their full selves to therapy. I specialize in working with survivors of sexual and relational trauma, people from the LGBTQIA+ communities, and individuals looking to develop deeper spiritual insight including during times of life transitions. My work is grounded in sex-positivity, anti-oppression, somatics, and pleasure. I also support clients in developing an understanding of the impact of systemic injustices and intergenerational trauma in their lives that create obstacles to wellbeing. My approach to psychotherapy centers on healing from both past traumas and managing current stressors by accessing the innate healing wisdom of the body, garnering insight, and developing concrete skills for navigating life’s challenges. I work collaboratively with my clients to support their journey to self-actualization.

I work with adult individuals, couples, and polycules experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and relational issues. My training includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, Sex Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Psychedelic Integration Therapy. I am a proud member of the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy team at the Woodstock Therapy Center. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy can be a powerful adjunct to our work, especially for clients who feel stuck in their lives or struggle to process difficult traumas.

I have been a leading voice in developing techniques in Psychedelic Integration for sexual trauma survivors and have authored the first article to appear in an academic journal on sexuality, spirituality, and psychedelic healing. I am a clinical supervisor for the EMBARK approach to Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, and have been trained in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy through the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. I have been a faculty instructor/presenter in both the Trauma Therapy and Sex Therapy programs at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines, Ante Up!, and the Center for Optimal Living. I am a featured author in the book Queering Psychedelics and am the author of a forthcoming book on psychedelics, sexuality, and healing through pleasure being published by Inner Traditions in 2024. I am also the Clinical Director of Chrysalis Integrative Psychotherapy.

I warmly welcome you to reach out for a free consultation to discuss working together.
