I am a queer genderfluid White Jewish woman in private practice in Northampton, MA. I received a Master’s degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2015 and a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Smith College in 2018. During my first three years as a clinician, I worked as an outpatient therapist at the BHN Child Guidance Clinic in Springfield, MA, with a focus on serving transgender, nonbinary, gender diverse, and LGBQIA adults and youth. In Summer 2021 I opened up a private practice, also specializing in serving the LGBTQIA community ages 4 and up. I have attended Melissa Heckman LICSW/MEd’s 9-hour “Affirming Care for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Individuals” training series and the 2019 Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference’s Behavioral Health Professional track. I have co-led a therapeutic group for parents and caregivers of TGNC youth and have co-presented multiple trainings for local agencies on the social construction of gender, fundamental LGBTQ concepts, and affirming care for TGNC youth. I am deeply embedded in local queer community and regularly engage in reading on a range of topics pertaining to LGBTQIA youth and adults.
