About My Clients

An ideal client understands first and foremost that change is possible. Additionally, I am passionate about working with adult clients who are open to utilizing a holistic and integrative approach to their healing, plant based lifestyle, part of the neuro-diverse community, faith-based, and creative. Past and present clients of mine have told me that I have helped them most with challenging and reframing negative thoughts, identifying affirmations, grounding, self-compassion and confidence.

My Background and Approach

I have over 10 years of experience in mental health and have also completed training in TF-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CAM and Integrative approaches. We can collaboratively develop protocols and wellness plans that teach you how to use skills and techniques such as thought-stopping and cognitive reframes, as well solution-focused, mindfulness and holistic approaches to reducing symptoms of Anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. My goal is for you to develop more insight and self-awareness, as well as an understanding and appreciation for how things have happened FOR as opposed to you. We will generally start by identifying your thoughts, feelings, and related actions/behaviors within situations. In our work together, you will gain increased confidence in your ability to advocate for yourself, set healthy boundaries, cope with life stressors, emotionally regulate, as well as improved executive functioning.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The therapeutic process is unique and sacred to each individual. My role as a therapist is to facilitate and assist you in your healing, growth and empowerment that occurs with increased self-awareness and acceptance. As a social worker, I also will encourage consideration of how your environment both can and cannot support these changes. I aim to provide a safe space to collaboratively explore how to effect positive change and improvement in any area of interpersonal functioning. As a neuro-atypical therapist, I believe that ADHD is both a superpower and a kryptonite. I also believe in the healing powers of GOD, art, food, and nature, and am very interested in how a plant-based lifestyle can improve overall well-being. I try to be an active member within the Vegan community, and belong to a creative collective based out of NYC (I enjoy painting and mixed media). I look forward to meeting you, wherever you may be in you change process.
