About me
My name is Ad (they/them). Thank you for being here.
I am a queer, nonbinary psychotherapist who works with couples, multi-partner relationships, individuals, and families. I began my journey as a psychotherapist when I decided to make a career change in 2020 and started my Masters in Social Work at NYU. Nearly four years later, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I am passionate about working with queer/non-traditional relationships and queer individuals, although I have experience working with a diverse set of clients. My work is informed by anti-oppressive, anti-capitalist, and abolitionist values.
Working with me
Healing requires us to face difficult emotions and truths. My aim is to guide you safely through those experiences and to work collaboratively towards your therapeutic goals.
Building trust is tantamount to the therapeutic process. I see psychotherapy as a partnership where we co-create a space that fosters healing, exploration, and growth. In this space, we will work together to help you gain a better understanding of your relationship to yourself and to others. We will consider your personal worldview: how you see yourself, your relationships, and what stories, beliefs, and ideas you hold about the world and your place in it. Through an individualized approach, we will hold space for uncomfortable emotions, challenge unhealthy patterns, and uncover unconscious motivations to examine how your personal worldview interplays with your current struggles to introduce new ways of being that generate greater safety, security, and meaning in your life.
Specialties
I have specialized training and expertise in working with: relationships, relational conflict, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, complex trauma, shame, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCPD.

Individual
No matter where you’re at in your individual journey with therapy, I will meet you there. Together we will help you gain a deeper understanding of your self and create and space to heal, explore, and grow.
Relationships
My goal is to help you and your partner(s) arrive at the place that is truest representation of who you are. Whether that be fostering a deeper connection, learning tools for better communication, or navigating separation.
