Great to meet you!

Meet Your Expert in Trauma Recovery

Hello! I'm a seasoned EMDR therapist with specialized expertise in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders for adults and late teens. My extensive background includes over a decade of service at the VA, nearly 10 years aiding first responders, and more than 25 years as a military behavioral health officer. With a doctorate and three master’s degrees from Rutgers, my approach integrates EMDR therapy into a deeply empathetic and client-focused methodology. I’m committed to helping you navigate and overcome life's challenges with resilience and strength.

My approach to therapy

Your Path to Healing with a Trauma-Informed Approach

As a trauma-informed therapist, I view each of your concerns through a trauma-sensitive lens. We'll start by understanding the history behind your challenges and their effects on your current situation. Together, we will build skills to effectively manage and respond to triggers. Using techniques like EMDR therapy, we'll work to change how you experience past and present traumatic memories. Our aim is to establish new, healthier ways for you to interact with the world around you, enabling you to thrive.

What you can expect from me

Immediate Clarity and a Path Forward

From our initial session, you'll gain a clear road map for relief. The pace of progress varies for each person—some may find resolution quickly, while others may need more time, but you will always have a clear understanding of the steps ahead. You are in control throughout our sessions. I will provide guidance and support, but you lead the way. Together, we will explore the origins of your challenges, enhance your self-awareness, and actively work towards the life you aspire to build.
