My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I value creating a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard and supported, emphasizing partnership in therapy. I empower clients with tools, strategies, and guidance to apply new skills in daily life, and I integrate evidence-based practices and behavioral approaches, often sharing worksheets, apps, and readings to support progress between sessions.

I am a licensed psychotherapist (LPC, LCDC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, practical therapy to individuals and families. I offer telehealth services in Texas, Maine, and Ohio, supporting adults, teens, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. Fluent in multiple languages, I tailor therapy to diverse backgrounds, helping clients build resilience and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I started my career as a clinician in a Crime Victims' Assistance Program funded by New York State, through which I began to explore the effects of trauma on individuals, their families, and the community. I have been trained in both EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and I utilize these body-focused therapies to help my clients be released from years of painful energies locked in their systems. I have also taught parenting classes, Mental Health First Aid, and provide training on Trauma-Informed Care. In April of 2022, I became a trainer for LivingWorks' SafeTALK program.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Marist College and my Master's from Fordham University. I hold the LCSW-R credential and have been trained to supervise Social Work Students in their field placements. Before joining Talkiatry, I worked as a Director of Clinical Services for a not-for-profit in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State. Prior to that, I worked for a local hospital in the psychiatric department providing treatment to the Inpatient and Outpatient units, and I have held several positions as a clinician and program director. I also appeared in the Vassar College student-developed training video, "He said, She said," which is used to train peer sexual assault counselors.

Additionally, I have a trained therapy dog, Monkey, who goes with me to local hospitals and nursing homes to provide comfort and affection.

My patients can expect warmth, kindness, and non-judgmental curiosity. I value understanding each individual deeply, while also empowering them to understand themselves. My approach emphasizes autonomy and collaboration, ensuring treatment reflects each person's own goals and journey. I build trust through reliability, honesty, and authentic care, offering a therapeutic relationship rooted in competence and gentleness. I do not seek to change minds but rather hold up a mirror, offering evidence-based approaches and tools so patients can move toward their own goals. With respect and support, I walk alongside them on their path to healing.

My process begins with a first session dedicated to diagnosis and connection, followed by collaborative treatment planning in the second session. From there, each meeting focuses on healing and growth, with attention to the eight Dimensions of Wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, occupational, environmental, and spiritual.

I bring more than a decade of experience in dual diagnosis counseling within outpatient settings. I have worked closely with medical providers in integrated treatment at a Federally Qualified Health Center, served as Director of Crisis and Community Services, and held the role of Family Readiness Officer for the Marine Corps.
