I am an educator, gender justice activist, and a psychotherapist. I was clinically trained at the Smith School for Social Work and the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society in New York City. I currently reside and practice in the Pioneer Valley, however, I lived in New York City for over a decade and during that time founded the advocacy and education organization, TRANSLATE GENDER, Inc. I utilize a transfeminist therapeutic approach in working with differently gendered adolescents, individuals, and families. My interests extend to working with couples, polyamorous relationships, BDSM relationships, as well as, working with those in alternative family structures.
My clinical orientation is influenced by both the narrative and the open dialogue traditions, and I have a broad range of expertise having completed clinical trainings in anxiety disorders, depressive and mood disorders, dual diagnosis, sexuality and gender identity concerns, grief and loss, and trauma.
I also work with Arlene Lev at TIGRIS (Training Institute for Gender, Relationships, Identity, and Sexuality), in Albany, NY. My most recently published paper, in Women and Therapy Journal, introduces the transfeminist therapeutic approach; Gender Disorder as Gender Oppression: A Transfeminist Approach to Rethinking the Pathologization of Gender Non-Conformity. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation
