About

I moved to SF in 2025 after spending 8 years in Seattle and the ten years prior on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness. I work with queer clients around belonging, open relationships, and sexual shame.
