When you’ve experienced trauma, the world can feel like a minefield of triggers, making even getting out of bed feel like a victory. If you’re living with the constant hum of anxiety or the heavy silence of depression, you might feel like your past is an anchor holding you back. I specialize in helping individuals break free from that weight. As a clinician and adjunct instructor at Rutgers, I understand the science of healing just as deeply as the heart of it. You aren't just a set of symptoms; you are a person with innate strengths, and together, we will build a path where your history no longer dictates your future.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mental wellness. Drawing from my training at NYU and my academic work at Rutgers, I blend evidence-based trauma-informed care with practical coping skills. We will work at your pace to develop a "toolkit" that calms your nervous system and helps you regain a sense of control over your life.
Healing happens within a trusting, non-judgmental relationship. I am dedicated to providing that safe harbor for you, walking by your side through every small step of your journey. You’ve carried this alone for long enough—let’s start building your wellness together. I invite you to reach out for a consultation today.
