Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. Integrative approach focusing on somatic and spiritual support. Extensive experience with queer, kink, and CNM communities.

New clients are welcome during Summer 2013! I am here for you all summer, including August! Sometimes we all need to talk to a great listener in a safe place. I am happy to provide individuals in kinky or polyamorous relationships with a place where you are welcome to speak freely, honestly, and openly about relationships and sexuality as well as other important areas of your life. Choosing this support allows you to regain a sense of control and feel stimulated and challenged by life instead of overwhelmed. I've devoted the last 8 years to becoming an excellent listener capable of understanding you, even when you aren't quite sure what you are trying to say. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I work with individuals and couples around relationships, life transitions, sexuality, and parenting. I have shared my expertise through teaching university courses on Adulthood and Aging, Human Sexuality, and Child Development. My practice is LGBTQ and kink friendly.I work on a simple fee-for-service basis and have a reasonable sliding-fee scale. For those with out-of-network insurance coverage, I am happy to provide invoices for reimbursement at your request. Flexible weekday and Saturday appointments are available. My offices are located in elevator buildings in Chelsea and Union Square, easily reached from most parts of the city and accessible by PATH, NJTransit, and LIRR trains.

Over the past decade, my practice has gravitated toward being of service to those who practice alternative sexual lifestyles. From working with people who engage in BDSM and polyamory to swingers, cross-dressers, and just bog standard kinksters, I've heard of so many occasions where, in the first session, the therapist has immediately identified the sexual behavior as the problem and disregarded everything else mentioned. Common among those who come to see me are a history of secrecy, shame, and self-contempt, feelings of inadequacy, or feeling "broken." Anger, anxiety, and confusion, along with a deep-rooted shame, lead to desperation and being overwhelmed. You have chosen a lifestyle that not everyone understands although, if theres a name for it, someones done it. Sometimes, unfortunately, you internalize society's judgmental attitudes, causing you to question your behaviors and beliefs. I can help you before the feelings and behaviors cause damage in your life. I am an experienced Kink-Knowledgeable Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade working as a therapist. I have trained under Patrick Carnes as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. However the knowledge I have in this field is broader and less restrictive than SASH. I have worked with the Fire Department of New York since before 9/11. I'm very experienced with PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety Disorders. Also, I have vast experience helping people overcome addictions.

Together, we'll use your own intelligence, creativity and energy to create meaning from life's difficulties and challenges. We'll work together to renew your faith in your own strength and ability to take life head on. Whether you're new to therapy or are no stranger to the couch, I'm excited to learn about you and to combine everything that you have to offer with my own expertise in order to create a unique and meaningful therapy experience. I work with individuals, families, and couples to create solutions and positive growth in the face of diverse challenges and difficulties. I believe that we are all unique, intelligent, resourceful and creative, and that all people deserve help that reflects this. LGBT, queer, intersex, poly, kink, bdsm friendly and aware services

I provide individual therapy and Gottman Method couples' therapy in person and via teletherapy.
