My Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is supportive, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based methods to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional well-being. I work with you at a pace that feels safe, and I focus on meaningful, lasting change.

My Practice & Services

I provide telehealth therapy for adults and young adults throughout Florida and New York. My practice focuses on helping people work through anxiety, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and stress-related concerns that impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Much of my work is trauma-informed, and I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity connected to past events. I also support individuals navigating burnout, high-pressure careers, and long-term stress, including professionals, first responders, and healthcare workers. In addition to trauma and anxiety work, I welcome clients exploring spiritual or religious concerns, including identity questions, faith transitions, and experiences of religious trauma. I aim to provide a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore meaning, values, and personal belief systems safely and at their own pace. My approach is collaborative and flexible, meaning we work together to identify goals and adjust the pace of therapy based on your needs. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where meaningful change can happen gradually and sustainably.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am skilled at helping clients work through trauma, including complex trauma and childhood emotional wounds, as well as anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. I also support individuals navigating relationship and attachment difficulties, grief and loss, and life transitions or adjustment challenges. In addition, I have experience helping clients with spiritual trauma and religion-related distress, including faith transitions and the impact of harmful or confusing religious experiences. I also work with issues related to self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love, as well as identity exploration and finding life direction or clarity.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

What I love most about being a therapist is the opportunity to witness people reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. I find it deeply rewarding to support clients as they make sense of difficult experiences, reduce the weight of anxiety or trauma, and begin to feel more grounded and in control of their lives. I especially value the process of helping people who have carried a lot on their own for a long time?whether that?s due to trauma, high stress, or demanding roles in their personal or professional lives. Watching clients begin to feel relief, clarity, and self-compassion over time is what makes this work so meaningful to me. I also appreciate the courage it takes for people to begin therapy. Being trusted with someone?s story is something I take seriously, and I strive to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental so that real healing can take place.
