Welcome! My name is Lea (she/her) and I am a psychotherapist who is licensed as a clinical social worker in New York and New Jersey; I'm a licensed telehealth provider in Florida (https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/). I hold a master's in Social Work from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service. I am a level 3 trained Certified Internal Family Systems therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. My approach is additionally informed by attachment theory and I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I work in a trauma-informed way that honors the uniqueness and complexity of each person's experience. I also have a background as a trained musician; I have an undergraduate degree in Jazz Performance from the City College of New York. Lastly, I am a licensed massage therapist, a graduate of the Swedish Institute in New York City, and have trained as a Craniosacral Therapist with the Upledger Institute.

My practice is guided by a commitment to anti-racist decolonial work, acknowledging the historical and systemic factors that impact mental health. I am dedicated to promoting equity, justice, and cultural humility in my practice and engage in ongoing education and reflection to deepen my understanding.
