New to Grow
I have been a therapist for 11 plus years. I have trained in different treatment types that enables me to work with helps individuals to navigate anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, chronic medical issues, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. I integrate trauma informed care, CPT somatic therapy, and cognitive approaches to support healing at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, empowered, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you'll find a safe, supportive space where your experiences are truly heard and respected. We'll take the time to understand your unique challenges and begin setting clear, achievable goals all at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This collaborative, trauma-informed approach lays the foundation for trust and healing.

I show up as a real person, compassionate, curious, and committed to your growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I support clients facing ADHD, trauma/PTSD, life transitions, infertility, postpartum depression, grief, chronic illness, anxiety, and more. Every story is unique, and I take time to understand what brings you to therapy and whether my approach aligns with your needs.
Trauma Informed Care
I received my advanced training in Trauma Informed Care from Syracuse University in 2015. Trauma‑informed care is a foundational lens rather than a single technique. My training includes extensive work in trauma‑informed approaches, EMDR, somatic processing, and family systems. By using these modalities I'm able to prioritize safety, empowerment, and collaboration with patients.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and use it to help clients understand how traumatic or highly stressful experiences have shaped their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. CPT is a structured, evidence‑based approach that supports clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, exploring where they come from, and developing more balanced and empowering ways of understanding their experiences.
Forensic Psychology
I have extensive experience in Forensic Psychology through my work in providing assessments for the court system & New York Department of Corrections. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and use it to help clients understand how traumatic or highly stressful experiences have shaped their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. CPT is a structured, evidence‑based approach that supports clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, exploring where they come from, and developing more balanced and empowering ways of understanding their experiences.
Faith based therapy
In my practice, faith‑based therapy is available for clients who want to integrate their spiritual or religious beliefs into the healing process. I honor each person’s unique faith background and use it as a source of strength, grounding, and meaning.
Somatic
Somatic therapy is an important part of my trauma‑informed approach, and I use it to help clients reconnect with their bodies as a source of information, safety, and healing. Trauma often shows up physically—through tension, numbness, restlessness, or a sense of disconnection. By incorporating the body into therapy, we can create deeper, more sustainable change.
