My clinical focus is PTSD, developmental trauma and addictive disorders. I combine traditional "talk" therapy with QEEG-informed Neurofeedback and EMDR, where appropriate. This offers you the best chance of healing past emotional wounds, alleviating symptoms, and living more fully in the present. The subtle, transformative power of Neurofeedback helps many clients resolve the traumatic stress, fear and anxiety that often underly behavioral and addictive disorders. EMDR is another powerful tool that can help resolve emotional trauma, improve functioning, and help you become more present-focused.

Not accepting new clients
NOT CURRENTLY TAKING CLIENTS. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. Allow yourself to take that first step towards improvement and wellness. I have been practicing clinical social work for 7+ years and primarily work with children adolescents, and young adults aged 6-25. I believe that building trust is an essential step to creating a strong therapeutic relationship. It is essential in my practice to personally engage each client to tailor treatment to address specific client needs. I am compassionate and patient, yet direct and offer support in any way that I can.

It is very easy to be overwhelmed by stressors when you do not have the tools to manage them. Many people never had the opportunity to learn how to understand their emotions, manage distressing situations or communicate their needs to others. Without the necessary tools even a small task can feel almost impossible. My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental environment where we can work together to help you gain the tools and confidence you need to navigate your life more effectively.

I specialize in working with all things "fear". Fear is one of our most innate emotions, and the basis of many challenges like OCD, anxiety, phobias, and more. Though fear does serve an important purpose, for some people it can feel out of control; like it impacts every choice and thought that you have. If fear is something that is overwhelming for you, my goal is to help you take control back and better understand fear's role and purpose for you, so you can have a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

The majority of clients I’ve serve are often facing significant life challenges or transitions and are seeking guidance and support to overcome them. They may have experienced trauma, divorce, parenting, work-related stressors, and unhealthy family dynamics that have impacted their ability to be present and gain the momentum to see how they can possibly make it to the other side of these obstacles.

Do you feel like life has become less manageable and that you're sometimes spiraling or unraveling? Have bouts of depression and anxiety robbed you of your sense of joy and fulfillment? If you feel like your life has become unsustainable, then therapy is a place to start in unpacking the burdens that have become too heavy to carry. Warmth, empathy, and a strengths-based approach characterize the therapeutic relationship I develop with each of my clients, but more than anything I aim to help clients achieve REAL behavioral change. Together, we will set concrete goals and address the barriers that stand in your way.

As a parent, you've been worried about what you see your teen going through. The excessive anxiety about school, relationships, and the struggle to adjust to any change in routine. Their stress level is high and they isolate from friends and family. You watch them play video games, scroll through social media and binge on Netfilx, but they never tell you what's going on. That's the scariest part. You want to help them, but you can't break through. And on top of that, the pandemic. You know it can't continue like this any longer.
