therapist in training
- (at Express Yourself Therapy)
I am currently an MSW student at the University of New Hampshire, and reside in Brooklyn, NY.
I am a therapist in training at Express Yourself Therapy.
I have my BA in Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education. I am seeking licensure in NY, NY. My supervisor’s name is Anastasia Sielski-Elizalde. Her license # is 112879-1
My clinical approach is relational with psychodynamic principles, empowering my clients by challenging existing power structures. My ultimate objective as a therapist is to cultivate an environment where individuals can feel safe and supported. I love working with a diverse array of clients, including young adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As an anti-oppressive, queer, sex positive and gender expansive therapist, it is my priority to offer accessible therapy to all identities and experiences. I have worked in multiple settings where individuals were experiencing comorbidity relating to unresolved parts of identity & self and substance misuse. We can’t really just treat substance abuse without taking into account a person’s experience in the world as a queer person - That’s the moment I recognized the importance of prioritizing the opportunity for such growth.
