Therapy where no part of who you are needs defending. I’m a gay, Israeli-American Jew, a licensed clinical social worker, and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I work online with gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer Jews across New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Florida.

Many of my clients have lost something specific: friends, community, colleagues, and mentors. Sometimes the loss came from queer spaces that once felt like home and now feel closed to them as Jews. Sometimes it came from Jewish spaces that never fully made room for them as queer people. Standing between the two produces a particular kind of isolation, and few therapists are equipped to recognize it.

What I help with: isolation and grief after losing community; antisemitism in queer, professional, and activist spaces; coming out in an observant or traditional family; reconciling faith and sexuality; dating and partnership as a queer Jew; and sex, desire, and relationships. I work with individuals and couples, from secular to observant.

I hold an MSW from Yeshiva University, an MA in Trauma and Crisis Studies from Tel Aviv University, and certification in sex therapy through AASECT and the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our dog, Bernie.
