I earned my Master of Social Work from Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work, completed advanced graduate training in LGBT behavioral health at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, and hold a BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.

Much of my work centers on developmentally-informed mental health care for youth experiencing gender dysphoria — I train and supervise clinicians working in this specialized area of clinical care, lecture on the topic nationally and internationally, and serve as President of Therapy First.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing gender dysphoria, as well as their parents and families. I also work with trans adults, individuals who have been adversely impacted by medical gender transition, and the broader LGBT community in New York City.
