Cultivating a diverse healing practice in the city that never sleeps

VNC Therapy New York is a private psychotherapy and coaching practice that affirms and empowers historically marginalized communities; placing emphasis on fostering healing spaces for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ gender expansive identities.

With over 8 years of counseling experience, I bring a unique clinical lens into therapy- one that is rooted in a queer, sex-positive, multicultural and anti-oppressive identity.  That means you can feel comfortable bringing all of yourself to session without having to worry about compartmentalizing aspects of who you are. You can expect a therapist who has the capacity to hold multiple truths, respect your beliefs, and challenge patterns of behavior in a supportive way that facilitates lasting, positive change. There is no quick fix here, and our sessions will often be weaving through the tapestry of your life at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

The therapy fee is $300 for a 45-minute session, and sessions are held weekly to start. I do not work in network with any insurances and can provide a superbill each session for your reimbursement. Sliding scale and solidarity rates are available. Some areas of focus include:

  • exploring third culture identity, boundary-setting in BDSM/kink spaces, pleasure as a gender expansive human
  • navigating adult child-of-immigrant wounds, capitalism, healthcare and living in NY, queer dating
  • improving low self-esteem, relationship with mind-altering substances, holistic health and wellness
  • processing complex trauma, intergenerational family of origin conflicts, workplace discrimination, carceral experiences
  • moving through guilt, shame, loneliness, fear of failure or inadequacy, grief and loss, life transitions, performance anxiety
  • living out loud and authentically in ways you may have never thought possible
