If you’re carrying the weight of trauma, you’ve already done one of the hardest things—survived. My role is to help you do something even more powerful: live without feeling like your past is running the show.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration—a combination that gives me both the clinical insight and the practical clarity to help clients create real, sustainable change. My background allows me to understand people deeply while also recognizing the real-world pressures they navigate every day. Whether we’re working through trauma, rebuilding confidence, or creating a path forward, you’ll find that our work together is grounded, strategic, and truly transformative.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Delaware who specializes in treating PTSD. Clients who work with me don’t just learn coping skills—they experience what it’s like to finally exhale, to sleep without fear, to show up in their own lives with clarity and confidence. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based trauma treatment that helps you regain your sense of safety, stability, and identity.

In our sessions, you won't simply “talk about what happened.” You’ll learn how your brain and body respond to trauma and develop tools that give you control again. You’ll start noticing the shift: fewer triggers, more calm moments, more energy for the people and things you care about, and a growing sense that you are not broken—you are rebuilding.

Many of my clients come to me after feeling stuck, misunderstood, or dismissed elsewhere. They stay because they finally feel seen, supported, and actually changing. If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling your way through the day and start living with intention, this work is for you.

Therapy with me is not a passive process. It’s a partnership, a rebuilding, and sometimes a liberation. And the truth is this: If you’ve been trying to heal alone, you don’t have to—it’s so much easier to get your life back when you have someone trained in trauma walking alongside you.

You deserve to feel safe in your own mind again. Let’s get you there.

Your first session with me is all about creating a space where you can finally breathe. We won’t dive straight into the deepest parts of your story—you’ve carried enough. Instead, we’ll slow things down. You’ll tell me what life has been like recently, what you want to change, and what you need to feel safe here. I’ll explain how trauma affects your brain and body in a way that helps everything start to make sense—maybe for the first time.

Together, we’ll map out a plan that feels doable, compassionate, and tailored to your healing. You’ll leave that first hour not overwhelmed, but relieved—clear about the next steps and already starting to feel the shift from surviving to reclaiming your life.
