My therapeutic approach is eclectic, humanistic, and strength based. I like to assess your needs and then draw from different therapeutic modalities to ensure we work together effectively to meet them. I am a culturally sensitive clinician who emphasizes working transparently and collaboratively with people of all backgrounds and orientations.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, grief, healing emotional pain and trauma, building self-confidence, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system.
I am certified in Advanced Grief Counseling, Trauma-focused ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT while also utilizing narrative, IFS, and somatic practices. I have worked extensively with music industry professionals and creatives, as well as youth with varying abilities and disabilities, working predominantly with late teens (16+), adults, and couples.
I specialize in trauma healing and recovery, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, executive functioning issues, and navigating or healing from relationships.
I began my career as a recreational therapist and earned my master's degree in social work from Binghamton University in upstate New York. I am drawn to social work because of my passion for helping others and my commitment to dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health.
