Hola! If you are reading this you have stepped out of your comfort zone and are exploring who you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. As a mental health professional, I have seen first-hand the plight of the human condition. Throughout the past 20+ years, I have gained incredible experience & insight that have uniquely prepared me for this work. As a licensed clinical social worker I have served diverse populations well, throughout the New York Tri-State area as well as in Florida's Southwest & Central areas since 2013 in various capacities. From my own curative journey I have borrowed a whole-person approach: mind, body, & soul. There is no "magic pill," or quick fixes when it comes to harnessing sustainable mental wellness. It has been my personal experience that this process can lead to deep restoration from the layers of adversity. Each layer will reveal itself in its own time. This is why therapy will look different for everyone at different stages of life. I would be honored to support you in exploring what hurts, frustrates, confuses, & a host of other emotions that come up when revisiting difficult childhood experiences, losses, grievances, life transitions, & postpartum. As a trauma-informed & trauma-responsive professional, I will hold a non-judgmental space, where you will be patiently supported and spurred on along your therapeutic journey. You will be provided with a safe place where you can explore your thoughts & emotions to manifest a shift in your perspective developing the clarity, growth, peace, & healing you so desire.
During our first session, we will begin getting to know one another, therefore, I will be curious and ask lots of questions. I invite you to bring your curiosity and ask the questions that are bouncing around in your head. This is a no judgement zone, meaning, you do not need to make anything sound pretty or sugarcoat. You can express yourself freely without fear of being judged or stereotyped.
My strengths are in my ability to help people feel seen and to understand themselves and how their brain works on a deeper level. The folks I have served often comment on how they feel better about themselves, their situation or experience some relief even during our first session. Another strength of mine is empowering people to reconnect with their truer Self; mainly through self-care practices cultivating self-forgiveness, self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-nurturance, and ultimately self-love. I find that we can give wholeheartedly to others only that which we can give ourselves.
My practice serves adolescents and adults navigating the effects of early adversity, including childhood abandonment, emotional neglect, family conflict, and other adverse experiences. I work with individuals coping with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, depression, postpartum depression, and significant life transitions. I also support clients who are new to therapy and benefit from developing a strong therapeutic alliance, increasing awareness of their emotional and cognitive patterns, and learning healthier ways of responding to internal and external stressors.

Through CBT, we will explore the automatic patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting that were shaped by past experiences and continue to influence your current emotional responses. Building awareness of these internal patterns is a key part of trauma recovery and supports healthier self‑regulation. You will learn to identify personal triggers, understand how they activate your nervous system, and apply effective in‑the‑moment strategies to restore emotional stability and a sense of safety.
Cultivating self‑compassion allows individuals to relate to themselves with greater kindness, which supports improved self‑care and fosters more authentic, emotionally attuned relationships.”
“Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) will be used to help clients understand how trauma has shaped their emotional and physiological responses. Treatment will focus on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Clients will learn to recognize trauma‑related triggers, reduce reactivity through grounding and self‑soothing strategies, and strengthen their ability to navigate relationships with greater stability and a sense of safety.
Together, we will gently navigate the grief process and create space for mourning in a way that honors your experiences. Understanding how grief unfolds is essential for healing, and I will support you in recognizing what you need at each stage. We will identify practical steps you can take, as well as the supportive connections you can invite into your life, to help you move through your healing journey with greater safety, compassion, and resilience.
Trauma‑informed care involves examining, without judgment, how the brain and nervous system adapt to overwhelming experiences. Developing this understanding helps clients make sense of what happened to them and how those experiences shaped their responses. With this foundation, clients can begin identifying their personal trauma reactions and take supportive steps toward healing, regulation, and restored safety.
