I usually work from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral perspective. For anyone that hasn’t heard of this, these are terms that basically mean – we will examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns, we can learn to think differently; which will soften our emotions and subsequently prevent self-defeating behaviors.
Beyond examining your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, we will look at our relationship, which I view as an important component of healing. Being aware of our dynamic will provide information about the ways you interact in relationships with others; as well as be a vehicle for having healing experiences of unconditional love.
To do this, I think it’s important to show that I am human too. I am not perfect; I also struggle. And to show this, I prefer not to be a “blank slate,” but to share myself and who I am (if you want to know).
I often work in a more direct manner, giving you concrete tools that you can use to help yourself; as well as skills to help you manage emotions or change habits. Of course, all of this will depend upon you! Each treatment will be a collaborative process, depending on what works best for you.
While I work with all mental health issues (anxiety, depression, anger-management, etc.), I do so through a trauma-informed lens, as that has been my main area of focus and training, both here and abroad (I trained at a refugee center in East Africa). I also specialize in issues of identity, gender and sexuality, self-acceptance and body image.
I have specific expertise in working with stigmatized groups, like LGBTQ+, HIV+, non-binary and gender-creative folx, sex workers, poly, kink, and other people from diverse sexual and gender experiences; as well as refugees and immigrants; and people living with complex trauma.
I also specialize in relationship counseling, especially with polyamorous folx (polycules, triads/throuples).

I provide Individual and relational work specifically focusing on sex therapy (with special interests including working with those within marginalized communities around topics of consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, desire discrepancies, shame, intimacy, sexual health, sexual identity, problematic sexual behaviors, sex work, kink, and BDSM).
My approach is eclectic, using a culturally competent and holistic trauma-informed lens to pull from different modalities, such as cognitive behavioral, narrative, mindfulness-based interventions, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy, which allows me to adapt to what is needed in the moment.

A person or a couple seeking therapy deserves tremendous respect. I believe that therapy is a place of growth where human connection with your therapist, empathy and unconditional acceptance are balanced with a challenge. Both are necessary to gain a new perspective, overcome internal barriers, and experience new, healthier, and more fulfilling ways of being. The years of experience and advanced post-graduate training I received make me believe in couples’ and individuals’ potential to grow and heal. I view our work as an interesting, energizing process that helps you to better understand yourself and your partner(s), to have healthier relationship(s), to enhance your ability to cope with stress and ultimately to become a happier person. Our work would recognize the uniqueness of your circumstances, of your relationship and of each partner’s personality.
I welcome all relationships, including LGBTQ couples, CNM relationships, and mixed-culture couples. I work with all cultures, ethnic groups, races and religions. I am striving to understand my patients, and if I am not familiar with your culture, I will take it upon myself to learn more on my own and together with you.
In addition to English, I speak French and Russian. I specialize in working with those dealing with infertility. I also find delight in helping couples navigate life transitions- adjusting to becoming parents, challenges of living with adolescent kids or young adults who still stay in the house, empty nesters syndrome, blended families etc.
