Closeness can be cultivated in more ways than we're told, and therapy offers a space to build it intentionally. I offer a warm, compassionate place where you're met with empathy, curiosity, and gentle accountability, so you can be curious about intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and identity without shame or judgment.
I specialize in sex therapy, relationship issues, LGBTQ+ topics, and digital intimacy, utilizing talk therapy tools with individuals, couples, and relationship systems to explore the breadth of human connection, including how adult content and sexual technologies reshape the ways we generate closeness. My approach is integrative and collaborative, sex-positive and trauma-informed, shaped around what you need and attentive to how race, gender, and power move through our intimate lives intertwined with play, grief, trauma, and more.
Our work together often means examining the culture, power, and stories that shape your intimate life, and questioning what you've been taught. I believe that healing happens in relationships, not isolation, and that being alone isn't the same as being lonely. You don't have to carry anything by yourself.
I define intimacy as closeness; there are endless ways to build it. I'd be honored to help you explore your ways.
At Wise Therapy, I also provide sex therapy:
“Sex Therapy is talk therapy.”

Frequently asked questions
What is sex therapy?+
Sex therapy is talk therapy, not physical or medical treatment. It's a space to talk openly about sexuality, intimacy, desire, and relationships with a trained clinician, without shame.
Do you work with couples?+
Yes. I work with individuals, couples, and relationship systems, including non-monogamous and polyamorous configurations.
What therapeutic approaches do you use?+
I draw on an integrative, non-pathologizing blend of narrative therapy, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, psychodynamic work, and somatic therapy, shaped to what each client or relationship dynamic needs.
What happens in a first session?+
A first session is a conversation: understanding what brings you in, what you're hoping for, and whether we're a good fit to work together going forward.
Do you see clients virtually or in person?+
In New York, both, depending on current availability. I'm also licensed in New Jersey and see clients there virtually. Reach out through Wise Therapy to confirm options.
Are you independently licensed?+
I'm an LMSW practicing under clinical supervision at Wise Therapy, currently working toward AASECT certification as a sex therapist.
Are you AASECT certified?+
Not yet. I'm currently in the process of AASECT certification as a sex therapist, practicing under clinical supervision at Wise Therapy in the meantime.
What's your educational background?+
I studied Psychology and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Colgate University, and received my Master's in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, specializing in Leadership, Management, and Entrepreneurship. My training also includes bystander intervention facilitation, LGBTQ+ initiatives work, and sexual violence survivor support.
