Get the care you deserve.
A little bit about me…
I’m licensed in FL, NY, VA & ID — I am EMDR certified.
I have over 11 years of experience. I have dual Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology from the University at Buffalo and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University. I interned at South Oaks Hospital in Amityville, NY where I received an extensive knowledge base and education in addiction/comorbid diagnoses.
I went on to become a Clinical Director for an outpatient mental health and addiction treatment center in Florida. I then started with private practice to find my passion and broaden my desire to work with a range of individuals, couples, and families in many areas within the mental health field such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, marital/family discord, stress management, and more. I am also certified in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help heal those with trauma.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy and draw from different modalities such as CBT, brief-solution focused, EMDR, emotionally focused and more. I specialize in providing a safe nurturing environment that I dub as “the diary that talks back” while creating an atmosphere to promote change and personal growth. I am often sought out by those looking for ways to manage anxiety and/or depression, improve relationship/family discord, decrease PTSD symptoms, increase productivity, reduce stress, strong inhibitions and more. I strongly believe in working with you to create techniques to fit your specific needs for happiness.
I will work alongside you to customize a treatment plan to help guide you on a path to a healthy body and mind while finding proper self-care skills, balance, and coping skills.
