Does anxiety, depression, and trauma feel exhausting? Often consuming most of your day and energy? Does life start to feel overwhelming at times and daily tasks start to feel like chores? Sometimes we begin to feel like there is no way out and it can feel difficult to seek help. When we feel low-spirited, it can impact every aspect of our lives; like work, family, relationships, even our faith and spirituality. I want to help you get to a point where you realize this does not have to be your life and while we cannot take away or change life circumstances, we can learn to find better ways to adapt to the changes. We can learn to know ourselves better, our triggers, and what works for us. Healing is not easy or linear, everyone’s journey is unique and at their own pace. I see you as the expert of your life and my role is a mediator in your journey. ​I am originally from New York City and currently residing in Florida. I am an LCSW in New York, Florida, and Texas. I have experience working within the criminal justice system in NYC, working with children with special needs, psychiatric care, homeless population, substance use, and mental health. My focus is trauma informed care and I practice with the intention of healing by identifying your strengths, in partnership with evidence-based methods of healing. I believe services should be available to all and provide a judgement free zone. If you are interested in the services I provide, please feel free to call for a free 15 minute consultation. All services are conducted solely through Telehealth.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, you can expect a supportive and individualized approach. We will focus on getting to know your concerns, experiences, and goals while beginning to understand how emotional regulation, distressing memories, and belief systems may be affecting you. Drawing from EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor the process to your specific needs, helping establish a foundation that feels safe, collaborative, and focused on promoting healing and resilience at a pace that works for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the emphasis on skill-building, insight development, and real-world application, paired with ongoing assessment of progress and barriers to functioning. In our work together, we will integrate evidence based practices to find individualized ways to increase emotional regulation, self-awareness, and effective coping strategies in response to active stressors. I use clinical intervention such as EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, and faith based counseling.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you are looking for a compassionate, supportive space to better understand your emotions, make sense of past experiences, and move toward healthier ways of relating to yourself and the world, I would love to work with you!

My treatment methods

EMDR

I am an EMDR-certified clinician with six years of experience integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with other evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My work focuses on supporting emotional regulation, desensitizing distressing or unwanted memories, and helping clients develop healthier, more adaptive belief systems. I tailor treatment to each individual, drawing from proven modalities to promote lasting healing and resilience.
