About My Clients

Do you appear to have it all together but feel STUCK, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside? Many of my clients are insightful, capable, and successful yet find themselves repeating cycles of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or resentment. Self-awareness alone is often not enough for lasting change. I use Brainspotting, along with other therapies, as a neurobiological approach to process trauma, chronic stress, and difficult life experiences stored

My Background and Approach

Healing and getting unstuck begins with understanding your story. Together, we'll explore how past experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and coping. I use neurobiological Brainspotting for trauma and performance issues, somatic IFS for inner conflict and self-understanding, and ACT to support values-based living. I believe healing is possible. I've witnessed clients move from feeling overwhelmed by trauma triggers, anxiety and depression, to experiencing peace, connection, and confidence. Healing doesn't mean forgetting what happened—it means your mind and body are no longer stuck there. The best way to reach the practice is via email. Licensed in: NY, NJ, TX, FL

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Mindfully Thrive creates spaces where high-functioning humans can fall apart safely and rebuild intentionally. We use evidence-based therapies to help untangle anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt with genuine therapeutic connections. Therapy goes beyond insight and behavior change. We weave career trajectories into therapy to support aligned growth and meaningful opportunity, showing that regulation and ambition can coexist.
