Ruti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who began her clinical work at an LGBTQ+ community mental health center during her master’s degree training at Roosevelt University. In her clinical training, she supported transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary (TGNCNB) individuals navigating gender-affirming care, orders of protection, addiction, and systemic oppression. These experiences shape her trauma-informed, collaborative approach to therapy.

As a queer trans woman, Ruti understands how powerful it can be to be your authentic self while navigating systemic oppression. She brings authenticity and humility to the therapy space, creating an inclusive environment for clients across a wide range of intersecting identities. As a Jewish clinician, Ruti also brings sensitivity to intergenerational trauma, identity, and healing, supporting clients in connecting past wounds with present growth.

Ruti specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals across the lifespan, with a clinical focus on TGNCNB clients and dissociation. She has extensive experience supporting clients facing complex trauma, minority stress, and dissociation through multiple forms of coping. Her background in substance use counseling informs her work with individuals seeking to reimagine their relationships with drugs or alcohol through a Harm Reduction lens. She also supports clients navigating religious trauma, spiritual questioning, and systemic oppression. Ruti grounds her work with clients in exploring ways we can safely identify where we’ve learned to detach. And with patience, Ruti wants to support clients in building capacity to return to the present moment.

With a therapeutic style grounded in anti-oppressive, Liberatory psychology, Ruti integrates somatic therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Humanistic Therapy, and client-centered practices. Across all her work, she helps clients process trauma, explore their identities, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with their bodies. Ruti believes healing emerges through community, safety, and embodiment—and that therapy is a space where transformation is possible.

Outside the therapy room, Ruti is a part-time consulting Astrologer, often blending her love for helping others with her connection to the esoteric. Ruti finds joy in beach days, studying Astrology and Tarot, attending queer nightlife, and cuddling with her cat, Minnie. Through humor, play, and connection, she honors her inner child—and welcomes you to do the same.
