Do you feel like anxiety has been running the show for as long as you can remember? Maybe you grew up around people who were hurting, and somewhere along the way you learned to read every room, anticipate every mood, and put everyone else’s needs before your own. Maybe trauma has left you feeling stuck — like no matter how much you understand why you feel this way, you can’t seem to feel differently. If you’re exhausted from carrying emotional pain that never quite resolves, you’re not broken, and you don’t have to figure this out alone. I help people finally get relief from the trauma and anxiety that have shaped how they move through the world — not just by talking through it, but by getting to the parts of the nervous system that talk therapy alone can’t reach. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with somatic work, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and Brainspotting — methods I’ve seen create real, lasting change, both in my clients and in my own healing. For those who wish to incorporate their faith into the process, I also offer Christian – informed counseling for clients who want a therapist who understands a biblical worldview and how their relationship with Christ shapes their mental health journey. You don’t have to navigate this alone — my mission is to walk alongside you as you find freedom from the limitations trauma and anxiety have placed on your life.
A little about me: Since I was a small child, I could sense the emotions of people around me, and I often found myself comforting the adults in my life. Growing up around mental illness and trauma shaped my own experience with anxiety — and it also gave me an inquisitive drive to understand the mind, which led me to study psychology at Pace University and mental health counseling at NYU. After 18 years working with clients from all walks of life, I’ve stayed a student of this work, continually learning the most effective ways to relieve people from emotional pain. In my own life, what’s helped me most has been somatic therapy and getting to know Jesus — experiences that deepened my belief that healing happens on more than just a cognitive level, and that shape how I show up for my clients today.
Fun Fact: I love to sing! Whether it’s belting it out in the car or finding any excuse for an impromptu karaoke session, music is my happy place.
