You're basically navigating an uncharted territory. Even though other people have captained their ships through the same waters, it's a different ship. No one has ever navigated your ship before, so no one can tell you how to do it other than for you to sit with how you feel about it. Not everyone's trying to go to the same destination. (Adapted from Jeremy Robinson, MFT)
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.
