Full Bio

Life can often feel overwhelming, leaving you stressed, unsure, and struggling to manage your thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I strive to provide compassionate and culturally sensitive care, tailored to your unique experiences. I work with children, adolescents, families, and specialize in supporting mothers, especially those who have faced the challenges of a NICU journey.

In addition to offering an individualistic and supportive approach, I am trained in EMDR therapy to help child, teen and adult clients process trauma and heal from past experiences that may feel stuck or unresolved. Together, we’ll explore tools and strategies to help you navigate life’s stressors while addressing the deeper wounds that may hold you back.

Healing is a journey, and my goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you can rediscover your strength, build confidence, and embrace the growth and change ahead.
