Great to meet you!

For the past eight years, I have been dedicated to helping people heal from trauma and find new ways to move forward in their lives. I’ve worked with first responders impacted by 9/11, as well as individuals navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, substance use, and personality disorders. My experience also includes supporting children in foster care and seniors, which has deepened my empathy and adaptability to meet each client where they are.

My approach to therapy

My style is compassionate and collaborative—I believe therapy should feel supportive, empowering, and focused on meaningful change. My diverse training allows me to create a personalized plan for every client, tailoring tools and strategies to fit their unique needs, using a variety of evidence-based approaches including DBT, CBT, Prolonged Exposure, Trauma-Focused CBT, CPT, and other trauma-focused therapies.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, you can expect to gain practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate trauma, and build resilience. My goal is to help you feel more confident in facing life’s challenges and to equip you with tools that last well beyond therapy. Whether you’re looking to reduce distress, process past experiences, or simply feel more grounded in your daily life, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and ready to take steps toward healing.
