I’m an LSCSW with an MSW from Newman University, and I specialize in trauma-informed care, somatic work, and nervous system regulation. My approach is warm, grounded, and client-centered, blending EMDR, IFS, CBT, and DBT-informed strategies to support healing at a pace that feels safe.
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative, focusing on creating a safe space where clients can explore their experiences without pressure or judgment. I integrate EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT-informed strategies, and somatic work to support both emotional and nervous-system regulation. I pay close attention to how the mind and body interact, helping clients build insight while also developing practical coping skills. My style is calming, validating, and straightforward, and I tailor each session to what you need in the moment. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
In your first session, you can expect a calm, supportive space where you can share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you hope to change, and any goals you’d like to explore. Because my work is trauma-informed and includes somatic awareness, I’ll help you stay grounded and attuned to how your body responds as we talk. You won’t be pushed into anything overwhelming. The focus is simply to help you feel safe, understood, and clear about our next steps.
