I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, and relationship challenges.
You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like something is missing—even after trying to work through things on your own. Sometimes this comes after a specific event, or years of caring for others or holding everything together.
Together, we create a safe, supportive space to explore what’s beneath the surface, helping you gain clarity, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater balance and self-trust.

Walking through this journal called life is difficult and there lies an extra layer of challenges when one is struggling with their mental health specifically related to past or current traumatic events. In fact, without awareness, we often make decisions and behave based upon how our past experiences have made us feel. I am here to help you explore the root of these issues, which in turn, will lead to the discovery of your true identity and self worth. My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature and this is why I specialize in the use of EMDR, IFS, and ACT.

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.

I graduated from SUNY University at Buffalo School of Social Work and since then, I have worked with clients with various mental health afflictions in long-term and short-term therapy. I have experience working with clients in group & individual settings. I use Existential & Jungian perspectives to serve my clients. In trauma work, I use the Moral Injury Model, Schema Therapy approach as well as Post-Traumatic Growth Model. I see humor, laughter, poetry…and silence as quite effective therapeutic modalities, too!

I work best with clients who are motivated to better understand themselves and actively engage in therapy. Many seek support for anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, or life transitions. I also provide comprehensive psychoeducational and psychological evaluations, including ADHD and Autism assessments. Therapy is collaborative—we identify meaningful goals and use evidence-based strategies to support growth. I bring clinical expertise and structure, while clients bring insight and effort—both are essential for meaningful progress.
