Briarwood, NY 11435

I work with individuals ready to embrace personal growth, whether they're navigating a major life change or processing past trauma. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. They’re embracing vulnerability and willing to face difficult conversations in order to build a more authentic life. Together, we can work on building resilience, developing self-awareness and moving forward with confidence.

I bring over 15 years of experience in trauma-informed care, working within the LGBTQ Community, from teens to adults. My approach combines compassion with practical tools to help clients navigate life changes, trauma, and identity. I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space to help clients move forward with resilience.

I understand life challenges us in unexpected ways. It can be hard to navigate them alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported as we work together to address these challenges. If you're ready to start, I invite you to reach out, let's talk.
