My trauma therapy orientation helps you understand how past traumas create the distress you’re dealing with now. We will seek to understand why you are feeling the way you feel, learn coping tools to help decrease your distress now, and heal the deeper cause underlying your presenting problem. I am patient, calm, thoughtful, kind, and trustworthy, with a deep passion for bringing people to a newfound perspective about themselves and what they’re bringing to therapy. My expertise is working with trauma, uncovering how the past reflects the present, stress and anxiety, ADHD and neurodivergence, as well as working with a range of clients including, but not limited to, the LGBTQIA+ community including trans, nonbinary, and poly clients, disabled clients, clients who navigate an academic setting, and Jewish clients.
The way I approach the work is bringing you empowerment, awareness, and capability through ideas, experiments, and insights based on evidence and exploration. I typically use EMDR, mindfulness, and psychodynamic and cognitive therapy. In particular, as an EMDR therapist, I've published peer-reviewed research and presented at industry conferences. This specialized technique is just one of the tools I can use to support your healing journey. Also, I will be mindful of how your social identity and mine relate to our dynamic, and our exploration will be conscious of how environmental and structural forces influence and shape you, as well as how we relate to one another.

Inclusive, Affirming Therapy:
I identify as a white, Jewish, cisgender male who works to be antiracist, antipatriarchal, trans-affirming, and LGBTQ+-affirming. I welcome all identities to therapy, and particularly work to support LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and disabled persons. Whether you're from the trans, poly, or nonbinary community, or navigating trauma, ADHD, and other life challenges, you'll find a safe and affirming space here.
I love getting to know my clients deeply as human beings. Clients and fellow therapists have told me that I’m deeply non judgemental, and very sincere and authentic. My favorite moments in therapy are the moments of realization about how parts of your life and self link together to explain what you’re going through now, and the moment when it finally clicks and the intellectual becomes deeply embedded in your emotions.
