Great to meet you!

Specialist in EMDR Trauma Therapy - Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Deciding to grow and change your life can be challenging. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based techniques tailored to their needs. Feeling stressed and low is understandable in this ever-changing world and we will work together to navigate this process at your own pace. I treat adults (18 years and older).

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a masters degree in social work from New York University and am credentialed in EMDR Trauma Therapy, psychodynamic protocols and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I combine these techniques with mindfulness skills, positive psychology, and strength-based approaches attuned to clients' needs.

What you can expect from our first session

First sessions focus on getting a full picture of who you are currently and what has happened in the past. After this, we work together using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, insight-oriented psychodynamic practices, EMDR trauma therapy and mindfulness tools as well as unconditional positive regard in order to effect the impact of distressing feelings on your everyday life.
