Trauma can make you constantly feel on guard and disrupt your ability to live life to its fullest. I work with clients presenting with a range of trauma, past, and present. My trauma-informed treatment approach integrates the unique aspects of your culture and explores how societal assumptions and minority stress impact your life and those you care about. I provide collaborative and culturally-affirmative care and serve as an accomplice, putting allyship into practice. My goal is to help you heal from trauma and gain control of your life, where you feel empowered to make decisions that benefit you and those important to you.

Does your life feel like the “This is fine” meme? You're just trying to get through your day, enjoy your coffee, but it seems like everything around you is on fire! Maybe you also feel on fire but you just try to ignore it and get done what needs to be done... But it's not working... You find yourself drowning in the day to day trying to take care of everything and everyone else and you're tired and overwhelmed. It's not clear if you're impacted most by your current stress or if maybe you are suffering because there's something from your past that just seems to keep coming up.

I'm a mental health therapist who assists people to feel better and function more effectively in their lives. My skills cultivate the intrinsic, lasting mental health that is in each person. I also help people resolve psychological trauma so that it no longer negatively affects their life. I lean toward methods like mindfullness based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatic experiencing to cultivate innate mental health in each client. I expect you will find our relationship together to have unconditional positive regard, openness, curiosity, wisdom and compassion.

My passion is helping others navigate difficult times because sometimes life’s hurdles seem too big to conquer alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide therapy for teens (14+) and adults using a person-centered approach that incorporates a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client. My specialties include: trauma/PTSD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorder, grief, relationship difficulties, stress management, and general life adjustment issues. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to process life challenges, please give me a call. I look forward to working with you.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens. I approach therapy from a place of getting that it's important to make sense of your experiences, know & feel that your feelings are valid, & have a way to move forward feeling grounded in your authentic truth. I often work with people who feel like they're too much or not enough or both, or like they have to do everything on their own or be perfect. I believe people make lots of sense in context. I work to understand the context of your life & work with you to find ways to navigate, cope with & heal from whatever you're dealing with.

I am excited to provide individual and family therapy to the Greater Manhattan Area. As a therapist I am firmly rooted in attachment and systems theories. These theories guide me in individual and family sessions with my clients. I have a real passion for family therapy and often feel energized by working with multiple family members at once. I am open to working with all age ranges and have a talent for working with children under the age of 5 years old.
