Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, non-monogamous, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.

I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.

I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.

After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.

Hey, I’m Niki — I’m a therapist who loves working with people in all stages of recovery, whether you’re newly sober, years into it, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself after major life changes. I help adults explore behavioral patterns, long-term sobriety, self-discovery, and identity as they figure out who they are beyond the challenges they’ve faced.

I know from both personal and professional experience that healing isn’t linear. As a mom and someone who’s faced her own mental health and substance use challenges, I bring understanding, honesty, and zero judgment to our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no pressure, no pretense.
