Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Basil, and I am a psychotherapist working with adult individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships in New York and Connecticut.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I help people to navigate trauma recovery (including PTSD & CPTSD), and to find relief from anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, shame, blame, dissociation, grief, loss, dysphoria, and many other life challenges. I am LGBTQ affirming.

My approach to therapy blends relational and psychodynamic theory with somatic therapy, breathwork, and mindfulness to nurture the mind-body connection, ease tension, release stuck emotions, and increase clients’ capacity for life. I also incorporate EMDR for processing painful, traumatizing, or otherwise upsetting memories. Where appropriate, I offer psychedelic assisted psychotherapy to support more frequent breakthroughs & lasting neurological change.

I specialize in supporting people as they navigate sexual exploration, gender affirmation, polyamory and non-monogamy, kink and BDSM, spirituality, and other personal, creative, and erotic life experiences. My approach is informed by my life experiences as a disabled, fat, and queer trans woman.

If you think we might be a good fit, please feel free to schedule a no-cost consultation with me.
