Meet the Team!

I work closely with adolescents and young adults who are struggling as they navigate through difficult life transitions, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and trauma. I also work with children presenting with behavioral, social and adjustment issues. I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients can be their most authentic and vulnerable selves. My goal is to make sure that my clients always feel supported and see real, tangible progress. In my work with my clients, I blend traditional talk therapy with IFS, brainspotting, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic interventions in order to create a fully holistic and supportive therapeutic experience. These somatic interventions go beyond talk therapy and remove trauma from the body.

The collaborative approach I take enables my clients to feel both supported and empowered through the therapeutic process. I actively guide them through building on their own strengths as well as learning new skills in order to work through barriers and challenges they are facing. I have a strong focus on helping my clients get in touch with their own personal power. My clients learn to take one thing at a time and develop trust in themselves to navigate unexpected situations. This enables them to emerge from therapy feeling confident, resilient, and in control of their lives. My compassionate and goal oriented work with my clients allows them to achieve relief, growth, and powerful levels of self-acceptance.

Fun fact: I love to travel and explore places I’ve never seen before. My favorite place so far is Italy and I would love to go on a safari in South Africa one day.

You might feel like you have lost your voice or you just don’t know where it went. Many of my clients come to me experiencing issues with self-esteem and close relationships. They are typically seeking help navigating difficult life transitions and have old wounds from past trauma that impede their ability to set boundaries and enjoy the fullness of life. Anxiety and fear should not be a part of your day to day life. I am deeply invested in helping my clients get real tangible results, liberate themselves from old wounds, and embody confidence. In therapy, my “down to Earth” counseling style and advanced training in somatic, DBT, and mindfulness interventions allow me to work effectively with my clients. My goal is to help you feel understood, fully supported, and never alone throughout your entire time working with me. In therapy, we will work to establish your voice, set healthy boundaries, and you will learn to trust yourself again.

My goal is to help each one of my clients work through challenging life situations and transitions. I provide each client with a safe space to be their true selves. My counseling style is open, compassionate, and client centered. My down to Earth personality is something that my clients tell me allows them to feel comfortable developing a trusting therapeutic relationship with me. In addition to talk therapy, I often use somatic, mindfulness and DBT techniques, depending on the needs of the client. I like to use creative and proven methods to guide each client to think out of the box in order to reach their full potential.

I strive to create a nurturing environment where self-discovery, healing, and growth flourish. With extensive experience in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, I aim to empower clients by building on their strengths and guiding them towards authenticity, happiness, life satisfaction, and overall well-being.

Our work together will focus on understanding your personality type, your unique strengths, thoughts, and emotions, making sense of your experiences, and developing tools for responding to challenges with greater flexibility and resilience. My approach is integrative and personalized to meet your unique needs and goals and promote personal growth.

Rooted in the compassion and curiosity of person-centered therapy, I also draw on elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Mind-Body Interventions, Inner Child Work, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Brainspotting (an evolution of EMDR), and strengths-based approaches. I believe in the healing power of authenticity, warmth, humor, and welcome laughter and creativity into our sessions, ensuring a balanced and supportive therapeutic journey!

As an experienced clinician, I work with individuals from all walks of life who are navigating the everyday challenges that come with being human – whether thats depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting, trauma, simply feeling stuck in old patterns. I believe healing begins with the kind of support that is inclusive, nonjudgemental, and collaborative.

I draw from a range of teachings including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Parenting Guidance, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Brainspotting. Meaningful change means that you can live freer and be the best version of you. And you don’t have to figure it out alone — we are all wired to be connected.

Pursuing a more fulfilled life is worth your time and effort – you are worth it!

📍 One fun fact about me: I absolutely love cooking — it’s one of my favorite ways to unwind and get creative!

As a trauma-informed therapist, I know that healing isn’t a straight path—it’s a deeply personal journey that looks different for everyone. I believe that no two people are the same, so therapy shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of different approaches to support your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. We’ll work together to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel more connected to yourself and take steps toward healing.

I specialize in working with people who have gone through tough and painful experiences, like childhood abuse, SA, or unhealthy relationships. These experiences can leave long lasting effects, making it hard to feel safe, trust others, or even feel comfortable in your own skin. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where you feel seen and supported—while also helping you build tools to feel stronger, more in control, and more in tune with who you are.

I believe the best therapy looks at the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re trying to make sense of your past, deal with current stress, or get to know yourself better, I’ll meet you where you are. I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, honesty, and care, helping you move at your own pace toward the life you want!

Fun fact: I love traveling and I’m currently working on my yoga certification. Oh—and one of my lifelong dreams? Getting on Saturday Night Live!

I’m a Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Hunter College, completing my internship in a private practice as I work toward licensure. Before becoming a therapist-in-training, I spent over 20 years in the corporate world, leading creative teams, mentoring others, and having countless conversations about growth, change, and finding your path.

I see therapy as a form of mental maintenance — a place to pause, reflect, and realign, even when life seems “fine.” My style is down-to-earth and conversational, rooted in person-centered approaches and simply making space for whatever you’re feeling.

In our work together, you set the pace. I’m here to offer a warm, collaborative space where we can explore your experiences and find what feels most supportive for you. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, managing anxiety, adjusting to a life change, or just looking for clarity, I bring both empathy and real-world perspective to every session. Having made big life pivots myself, I understand the courage it takes to create change — and I’m here to walk alongside you as you do.
