As a licensed therapist serving clients across New York and Texas, I specialize in trauma treatment and have dedicated my career to helping individuals heal from the lasting effects of traumatic experiences.

My practice focuses on working with individuals affected by trauma, complex trauma, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), childhood abuse and neglect, interpersonal violence, domestic violence, sexual trauma, medical trauma, grief and loss, and other significant life-altering experiences. I understand that trauma can impact every aspect of a person's life, including relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, trust, physical health, and overall well-being. Using trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches, I help clients understand the effects of trauma on the mind and body while developing effective coping skills, emotional resilience, and healthier patterns of functioning. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process. In addition to trauma treatment, I work with concerns that commonly accompany trauma, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, social anxiety, life transitions, workplace stress, and multicultural challenges. I recognize that each person's story is unique and tailor treatment to meet individual needs, strengths, and goals. I believe that healing is possible, even after the most difficult experiences. Whether you are coping with recent trauma, unresolved experiences from the past, or the long-term effects of chronic stress and adversity, I am committed to helping you build insight, reclaim your sense of self, and create a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we can work toward healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need support to navigate difficult situations and emotions that can become overwhelming.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and empathetic. I am here to support you whether you are experiencing anxiety, life stressors, family concerns, or a major life change. My philosophy is simple: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Every person brings a unique story, and therapy should reflect that individuality. Rather than adhering to a single treatment modality, I draw from a broad range of therapeutic approaches to create a personalized experience for each client. Together, we will identify your goals, build upon your strengths, and develop practical strategies to address what brought you to seek support. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel empowered to explore challenges, discover solutions, and move forward with confidence.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, recognize their strengths, and work toward meaningful growth. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Adelphi University and my Master of Arts degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Hofstra University. Throughout my career of over 30 years in counseling and clinical settings, I have been dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My background in both clinical social work and vocational rehabilitation allows me to support clients not only with their emotional well-being, but also with developing confidence, independence, and direction during times of change. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, family conflict, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals and families navigating divorce, co-parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact these transitions can have on both children and adults. I also enjoy helping clients who are facing changes related to education, career goals, employment challenges, disability, and finding balance between personal and professional responsibilities. I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities, and therapy can help uncover those strengths while creating a path forward. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop effective coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting change. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, struggling with relationships, or seeking support in creating a more fulfilling life, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
