Starting therapy can feel like a big step—especially if you've been carrying things on your own for a long time. Many of my clients come in with excellent insight into their patterns, yet still feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or emotional reactivity that don't shift easily. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy across New York State. I specialize in trauma work using EMDR and other approaches, and also work with anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, burnout, and related concerns. My approach is collaborative and attuned to the nervous system, tailoring therapy to your needs.
Therapy with me focuses on more than understanding patterns—it’s about shifting them at the level they're held in the nervous system. We work to increase regulation, expand capacity, and create lasting change that goes beyond insight alone. I also offer EMDR intensives, which are extended sessions designed for focused, deeper therapeutic work.
My work integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS, ERP, and somatic approaches to support trauma healing in both mind and body. We explore how patterns are held in the nervous system and work to shift them over time. This is a paced, attuned process that supports regulation, stability, and meaningful change. I invite you to reach out whenever you feel ready.
