Therapist

Virtual • Olympia, NJ


I'm a social worker by nature and a therapist by trade. Within my work in different social services, I found my passion for therapy (for over 9 years now!) My areas of focus include LGBTQIAA+ issues, intersectional identities, intimate partner violence, processing trauma, substance use, and managing mood disorders. My practice is sex-positive, identity-affirming, and based in concepts of social justice.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who provides a supportive, open-minded, and judgment-free space for adults navigating substance use and addictive behaviors. You don’t have to be sure that you’re ready to get sober, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Maybe you’re questioning your relationship with a substance or behavior, thinking about making a change, struggling to maintain recovery, or simply want to better understand what’s going on. Wherever you are in that process, we can start there. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment. I believe change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
