Our human experience can carry trauma, and I bring both clinical training and real-world experience in trauma informed care from health care and higher education. I support people in moving toward health-based emotional and mental well-being. My work integrates clinical knowledge with embodied, brain-based approaches to healing. Light-hearted and warm, I deeply value each person's unique story and inner world. I work primarily with adults, navigating phobias, anxiety, chronic nervous system dysregulation, relational repair, challenging life transitions, and persistent survival patterns. I continually expand my knowledge through innovative and evidence-based tools.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I became a therapist because I have always been drawn to understanding people’s stories and the experiences that shape who we are. Through my own growth and experiences, I have learned that healing begins when we feel seen, accepted, and supported. Life brings challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate these moments, helping them build resilience, overcome obstacles, and reconnect with their strengths to create a more fulfilling life.
