Great to meet you!

I have a decade of experience helping clients address trauma from emotional pain and chronic physical pain; and guide them along their journey toward healing. I am a Master Clinical Social Work Therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, additional training in Trauma-informed therapy, Psychodynamic, and neuroscience. I have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practice settings with clients ages 13 +.

My approach to therapy

I use a combination of therapy approaches strategically in my practice. We will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I incorporate neuroscience with all of the approaches to look at how the brain processes thoughts, emotions, experiences; and retrain it to respond differently to promote healing emotionally and physically. I want my clients to be informed and understand how the brain is responding to the therapeutic approaches.

What you can expect from me

I work with clients struggling with trauma related to their relationships, depression or chronic pain. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a treatment plan. The treatment plan is a guide highlighting your goals and the path to reset you and track your progress toward actualizing your healing and wellness. Most of my clients see a significant reduction of symptoms within the first month and continued improvement thereafter.
