About My Clients

I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. Focus areas: OCD, trauma, relationship challenges & emotional well-being. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) through EMDRIA; Expertise includes Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Imago Couples Counseling, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Sensorimotor, and Internal Family Systems.

My Background and Approach

I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and my clinical background spans inpatient psychiatry, outpatient mental health, and community healthcare — giving me a broad and grounded perspective that I bring into every session. I believe that healing is possible for everyone. Whether you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, processing past trauma, navigating a difficult relationship, or simply seeking greater balance in your life, I am here to walk alongside you with warmth, expertise, and genuine care.
