Great to meet you!

I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I offer both short-term solution-focused therapy to address immediate challenges and longer-term depth work for those seeking deeper personal growth. I utilize an integrative approach that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with person-centered techniques. A lot of my experience comes from working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events and work in high pressure environments.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is what you make it! I often say, you only get out, the work you put in. While stress is an inevitable part of life's journey, it also presents an opportunity for profound personal growth. Often, the harder we try to suppress our emotions, the more they manifest in unexpected ways throughout our lives. Together, we will explore and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to identify patterns that are influencing your emotions and impacting your daily life. If youre still hesitant, give me a call directly 929.581.7125 !

What you can expect from me

My approach recognizes that each person's path is unique, yet we share a common thread - the desire to understand ourselves better and live with ease. Together, we'll work on developing the tools and insights you need to not just cope with life's challenges, but to thrive and become the best version of yourself. I am formally trained in preventing and managing crisis situations and can provide emergency crisis interventions utilizing de-escalation tactics.
