You deserve to be understood as you navigate your mental health journey. Whether you are fighting suicidal ideation or pushing yourself to thrive, I will meet you where you are and draw on all my knowledge and experience to support you in a safe and nonjudgmental space. I am a transgender therapist. My life experiences thus far give me the confidence to support those in the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, Effective Altruist, asexual, aromantic, STEM, and Spanish-speaking communities.
My style tends to be humanistic and existential. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gestalt. As a lifelong learner, I am passionate about continuing to explore emerging theories and techniques.
I have had the unconventional path of growing as a child of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. I switched from a Cornell Tech PhD to pursue the deeply meaningful work of living our all too human lives. I currently work as a Mental Health Counselor with Good Therapy NYC, a practice based in Brooklyn.
I also am a rock climbing coach with The Cliffs. In 2018, I graduated from Harvey Mudd College with a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics. I have conducted research in accessible technology, human-robot teamwork, and middle-school computer science education.
