We all have experienced stress and some trauma in our lives that leaves us at times feeling lost. We go through life sometimes looking for direction and wanting to feel. I will work with you so you can go from surviving to thriving. Therapy is an opportunity for you to grow from your experiences so that you can be a better version of yourself. My practice is non-judgmental and welcomes all people. I use a culturally sensitive humanistic approach to person-centered, strength-based therapy, incorporating many therapeutic models such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.

I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!

Have you been struggling to get out of bed each morning, constantly fighting the urge to just stay in bed all day? Has your job or school performance been affected, or maybe even your relationships with your friends, family, or significant other? Maybe you’ve lost interest in activities that once brought you joy, and even the simplest of tasks seem impossible to get done. YOU deserve to be happy again, to smile and laugh again, to feel like yourself again. Although all hope might appear to be lost right now, don't give up, because you are NOT alone.

I have worked with many individuals and couples throughout the years and I know that one of the most frustrating things about the process of getting help, is finding someone that you can connect with while maintaining the focus and drive toward your goals. My ideal client is an overthinker who wants to learn how to effectively process rather than ruminate on their feelings and struggles. If you want to learn how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others, I would love to be a part of that work with you.

I work with creatives, professionals, and men. On New York State of Mind, Nas sings, "I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.” Maybe you too aim for excellence, work hard, and crush goals. But you haven’t found a work-life balance, or your current role is smaller than your aspirations. Or you relate to Propaganda's line “I’m not the artist I’m the canvas” and you create and inspire others through art, music, design, etc. But you are not inspired in daily life. It’s hard to translate that creative process to your personal habits, relationships, coping skills and day to day living.
