BRIC Biennial Portraits-4.jpg

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York and work primarily with queer, kink, poly and sex-worker communities through a lens of social justice and empowerment. I also have extensive training and experience working with survivors of trauma and am trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR.

I started my career in activism and community practice in 2003, living in an intentional community with formerly homeless individuals and working on issues of housing and mental healthcare access. I’ve since worked as an advocate for immigrants, refugees, survivors of torture, queer survivors of violence and provided trainings on queer-competent care to the NYPD and local hospitals.

My history of social justice work strongly informs my private practice. I also incorporate knowledge from mindfulness practice, somatic healing, energetics, spiritual dimensions of kink, religious/spiritual practices, and creative expression.

I am also a practicing visual artist.
