My approach is centered around you. I believe in a holistic, client-focused method, integrating evidence-based practices with personalized strategies. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered. Through Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will work with you to reach your therapeutic goals. Each step is tailored to your unique journey, ensuring a path to healing that resonates with your personal experience.
Choosing whether to pursue therapy is a personal decision that depends on your unique needs and situation. Consider these factors:
- Emotional and Behavioral Changes
- Life Challenges
- Impact on Daily Life
- Desire to improve your overall well-being and self-esteem
To measure progress in therapy, reflect on your initial goals and note changes in your mood, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships over time. Keeping a journal can help you track shifts in your emotional responses and patterns. Regularly discuss your perceptions with your therapist, who may also use standardized assessment tools to evaluate progress.

A little about me
I have provided therapy to children, adolescents, families, and couples from all walks of life.
I knew I wanted to be a therapist and social worker by the time I was 14 years old when my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness. My father offered to find me a therapist. She was an LCSW and I knew right away that I had found my calling.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying physically active, walking my dog, Milo, reading, traveling and spending time with Friends and family
