All services are delivered by licensed clinicians who are committed to trauma-informed care and practice through a culturally sensitive, anti-racist lens. We honor the dignity, resilience, and inherent worth of every person we serve.
"I believe therapy should be one of the few places where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or needing to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, relational, and person-centered, creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe to explore both your inner world and the experiences shaping your life. Together, we'll untangle challenges at a pace that feels right for you, while building insight, resilience, and meaningful change. I value authenticity, compassion, and honest conversations, and I believe healing can include moments of laughter alongside life's harder work. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they reconnect with themselves and move toward the life they want to create."
"I came to this work because I've always been drawn to the question of why people feel the way they feel, and what gets in the way of people living the lives they want. What keeps me here, honestly, is getting to watch that shift happen. There's something I never get tired of: that moment when someone finally finds the words for something they've been carrying for years, and the relief on their face when they realize: oh, that's what this has been. That moment is what this work is all about."
"I’ve always felt drawn to helping people and being someone others can turn to for support. Over time, that natural instinct grew into a deeper commitment to understanding people’s experiences and helping them navigate challenges. What keeps me passionate today is seeing the growth, resilience, and insight that clients develop—it’s incredibly meaningful to be part of that process."
"As I say to all of my clients when I first begin working with them, I am a social worker because at one point, I was the client and the social workers that supported me at the time played such a huge role in helping me navigate the many challenges that I was experiencing. Because of how influential one particular social worker was throughout my journey, I found my path working with other queer and trans New Yorkers who are in the midst of navigating challenging situations as well. I'm so incredibly grateful that my journey as a social worker has led me to Hudson Guild where I have the incredible privilege to work with other trans and gender diverse folks through the TransGenderQueer Mental Health Initiative alongside other incredible social workers!"
"I was drawn to becoming a therapist through both personal and professional experiences. Growing up, I witnessed my mom and grandmother’s deep commitment to social work, which shaped how I understand care and advocacy. Over time, my own involvement in social activism, along with my personal experiences with mental health, strengthened my desire to support others in a meaningful way. In my work, I aim to validate how challenging mental health can be while also helping clients move toward their goals, build a sense of empowerment, and feel that they have someone genuinely in their corner.
What continues to keep me passionate is the relationship I build with my clients. The work is collaborative—while I support and guide them, I’m also continually learning from their resilience, insight, and growth."
"My passion for therapy developed through years of volunteering and working within the disability community, where I saw how deeply people benefit from feeling understood, supported, and empowered. That experience inspired me to pursue a career helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, trauma, and self-doubt while building lives that feel more fulfilling and authentic. What keeps me passionate today is helping clients feel understood, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful and lasting change in their lives."
"Growing up in a family that deeply valued social justice, I learned early on the profound impact of service and giving back to the community. This foundation sparked a lifelong curiosity about human behavior and a deep respect for the unique, intimate relationship shared between therapist and client. No matter the setting, my core values remain rooted in advocacy and reducing suffering, guided by the firm belief that there is more than one path to effective social work. I began my career dedicated to supporting queer and trans youth, where I witnessed firsthand just how transformative individual therapy can be. Every day, the privilege of sharing in my clients' lived experiences fills me with hope and drives my continued passion for learning and growth."
"Through my lived experience as a transracial adoptee, I have come to understand that we are more than our families, relationships, and circumstances. Yet the ways we are connected to each of these can deeply shape how we walk through the world.
I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues, and identity work. I pull from tenets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic theories and am constantly learning different modalities to meet the needs of my clients."
"From my personal life, I’m intimately acquainted with struggle and suffering and also connection and joy. I suppose that’s the human condition - we struggle to deal with hardship, and to cope we turn to others, and in the process we find connection and joy and meaning. When I’ve struggled the most, I’ve felt so soothed by being able to share with a compassionate, nonjudgmental, thoughtful other, and it’s a privilege to be able to return the favor in my work as a therapist."
"I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, community-based mental health care. I graduated from New York University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a focus on Child and Adolescent Mental Health, and later completed a second bachelor’s degree at the NYU School of Nursing. I advanced my training as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Pace University.
I was drawn to this field through early experiences working with children, adolescents, and families, where I saw firsthand the impact that access to consistent, compassionate mental health care can have on individuals and communities. This continues to shape my commitment to serving diverse populations and improving access to care."
"Together, we can create a space for you to slow down and attune to your own needs, desires, fears, and patterns, so that you can suffer less and live with greater agency, meaning, and connection to yourself and the world.
I practice psychodynamically, meaning we can work to explore how past experiences emerge in the present, and I pull from a range of modalities including DBT and parts work. I am deeply informed by harm reduction as a movement and practice, and work to attune to the ways that structural violence shapes your life and emotional world. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself can be a place of healing and repair, and that it is central to our work that you feel understood, cared for, and safe enough to explore what you need out of therapy."
