I provide compassionate support to individuals navigating the effects of trauma, complex life transitions, depression, anxiety, and relational challenges. I also hold space for those carrying the weight of marginalization, cultural displacement, or the stressors that arise during the perinatal period. My practice is an inclusive space where clients from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities are welcome. As a bilingual therapist, I am able to offer services in both English and Italian, and I value the richness that language and culture bring to the therapeutic process.
My trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach strives to create a supportive space where you can explore your inner experience at your own pace and without judgment. As a certified EMDR therapist trained in Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), I integrate talk therapy with body-based practices to support healing and emotional regulation.
Together, we’ll work toward more than just symptom relief. I'll invite you to trade judgment for curiosity and accompany you through the process of finding new ways to access clarity and confidence, form and maintain meaningful connections, and live a more fulfilling life. When you feel ready, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and understanding.
