Hello! I may be a good fit if you are here seeking to: heal from previous life traumas, manage work-life, burnout or family stress better, develop new coping or boundary-setting strategies, work through relationship patterns or if you are experiencing the transition of becoming a new mother/parent. My goal is to build upon the resilience you already possess, that brought you here to ask for support. I will walk you through the process of starting therapy transparently and with compassion. Currently Accepting New Pt in NY/NJ/FL. Now accepting Aetna and Northwell.

You can expect to gain both insight and practical tools to greet yourself with compassion, challenge limiting patterns, prioritize yourself more effectively, manage symptoms and improve your relationships. I’ll guide you to explore your life experiences & help develop solutions for your unique challenges. My lens is trauma-informed & culturally responsive.

My approach is active, direct, warm, 'down-to-earth'. You can expect me to be a human with you (and bring some humor to the room). My primary goal is to make therapy a genuine, intentional, non-judgmental experience for you. I specialize in working with complex trauma, relationship health, perinatal mental health- but do work with a broad range of issues.

As a trauma-informed clinician, I am aware that complex trauma sometimes means complex recovery. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so it is of the utmost importance to me to understand what you are most responsive to and needing. I also have advanced training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders/ Maternal Mental Health.
