Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.
When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!
Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?
I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.
My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.
I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.
My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.
Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!
My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan.

Hi there! I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a focus on medication management and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of people, from adolescents and college students to professionals and older adults. I’ve gained experience helping individuals navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and psychosis.
I am a certified SIPS (Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes) assessor through Yale PRIME Psychosis Risk Clinic. Additionally, I hold a Post-Master's Certificate in Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from NYU and completed my Integrated Substance Use Disorder Training Program (ISTP) from NYU Langone Health.
I support adults facing relationship pain, life transitions, anxiety, and identity shifts. Having lived through betrayal and rebuilt my own life, I understand these experiences from the inside out. I believe the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Together, we focus on finding the answers so the next step feels possible.
