Education and Experience
I completed my Bachelor’s in Childhood Education at New York University and my Master’s in Social Work at Columbia University. I have experience working in various community-based settings at the intersections of trauma, mental health, incarceration, intimate partner violence, LGBTQIA+ identity and neurodiversity.
Some of the theoretical perspectives that inform my work include: anti-oppressive practices, disability justice, intersectionality, relational approaches, attachment theory, mindfulness, and trauma-focused somatic-based modalities including: elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting and parts work.
I currently attend several consultation groups with fellow therapists to reflect more intentionally on the following topics: adoption/ adoptee identity, gender and sexuality, neurodiversity, and disability justice. I’m grateful for these spaces where I both learn and teach- and where I am simultaneously challenged, and held, in community.
