I received my Master’s degree and licensure in Social Work (LMSW) from New York University with a concentration in Complex Trauma and a specialization in co-occurring Substance Use Disorders and Severe Mental Illness. My approach combines person-centered, empathic frameworks, attachment therapies, and expansive trauma-informed CBT and DBT. My ethos is centered in a holistic, harm reduction lens using abolitionist and anti-oppressive practices with a deep commitment to divesting from disease and medical models of healing and recovery. How do we begin to heal the wounds of trauma and reconnect with our bodies safely and healthily? I am trained in Comprehensive DBT, trauma-focused CBT, Somatic Experiencing therapy, Narrative therapy, and Complex Trauma Systems therapy. From a young age and my own traumatic experiences I had an awareness that I wanted to be involved in the healing and recovery space. I saw first hand in my own home and community how important accessible, quality care is to sustainable wellness and long term recovery. After healing through some of my own core trauma wounds, I saw up close the dearth of holistic person centered and person empowered treatment options for so many of the communities that mean so much to me. I began my work in the criminal justice space and that propelled me and fueled me to pursue my MSW to continue my work with justice involved folks who carry stigmatic diagnosis and complex trauma which has deepened my commitment to harvest healing when and where I can. My place in this work is at the intersection of trauma and resilience. My therapeutic partnership history is with folks who have not seen themselves reflected or heard in traditional wellness or therapy spaces. Some focus areas are complex trauma, substance misuse, and severe mental illness, highly sensitive/empathic folks, ASD and neurodivergent folks, strengthening self-compassion and building shame resilience, navigating liberation and justice, trauma-informed work, supporting those recovering from diet culture and body shaming, furthering gender, racial & body liberation, and those impacted by the criminal and family court systems. We will work together in dialogue and treatment/healing planning to meet your unique and specific needs. Healing in a world that is violent, with systems of oppression hard at work, is not easy. I believe healing begins in the body and in community. In order to heal though, one must feel safe. Who I am in my practice is who I am in every space I enter- authentic, abolitionist, strong in my convictions to center the human in all of us. Steadfast in harm reduction practices. To protect spaces that are most affected by dismissal, prejudice, and harm. I commit myself to not meet wounds with more wounding. I believe in empowering individual choice and agency. I don't turn away from frightening or intrusive thoughts, or honest disclosure. My promise is to be transparent, and collaborative in safety planning. I believe all institutions of oppression should be defunded and abolished, and that you know your needs better than anyone else. My communities mean so much to me, sex workers, substance users, queer folks, parents, stigmatically diagnosed folks, let's begin!

Thank you for reviewing my profile and see if we could be a good fit! My experience includes working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Additionally, I work with many clients dealing with career or school related stress. Prior to my work as a Mental Health Counselor, I worked in the corporate world of fashion, which gave me a deep understanding of how a fast-paced and demanding work environment can affect one’s well-being. I believe the most important factor is the relationship between myself and my clients. A genuine, trusting relationship is so critical for this work. My initial training was at Northwestern University, and was centered in a psychodynamic approach; however, I have additional training in, Mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, and IFS approaches. This allows me to pull from multiple techniques to do what is best for each client and their goals. I work collaboratively with individuals. I want to hear your input as we devise a plan on how to reach your goals. You can expect me to check in often on how you feel therapy is going, and use feedback to help modify our approach as needed. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing if we could be a good fit!

While you are uniquely special, your struggles are more common than you think. We all have challenges, and often in very universal ways. It’s all part of the human experience. Psychotherapy is a great way to help guide you through life’s trials and tribulations. It can be profoundly healing to have a safe space in which to be affirmed and productively challenged. Together we can explore issues related to ambivalence, shame, resilience, boundaries, connection, confidence, and self-development in order to help you fully show up in your life. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, unhealthy relationship dynamics, life transitions, substance abuse, and trauma, as well as with the LGBTQ+ community. I also utilize a variety of evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I base my practice around the use of empathy and empowerment. My style is warm and down-to-earth, while also naming things in order to illuminate insight and draw meaning. The key will be for me to support you in your own self-determination. Wherever you are today on your life’s path, I want to help promote positive change and growth.
If you struggle with anxiety, you now how exhausting it can be to work so hard to get everything just right. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety and perfectionism just like you. They have trouble saying no, they spend tons of mental energy rehearsing so that they won't make a mistake, and they wind up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Together we will figure out how to manage your anxiety in the here and now, while also working toward an understanding of why you push yourself so hard and how to give yourself a break.
Perhaps you have been feeling held back by unhelpful thoughts and feelings (worry, doubt, self-criticism) that get in the way or prevent you from living in the present moment. Or maybe you keep engaging in the same patterns of behavior over and over again, rather than moving toward the things you care about most. We partner with our clients to help them find new ways to navigate anxiety, OCD, low mood, and difficult life transitions. Our approach is focused on what is happening in the present while also honoring how your past experiences and identities shape where you are today. We use evidence-based treatments backed by science (including CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention) to help you reduce suffering and respond more flexibly to life’s many challenges. If you are exhausted by your obsessions, badgered by your inner critic, or trapped in anxious thought loops, you have come to the right place. To learn more, get in touch by phone or email to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation.
