My work is currently centered around adults, to whom I provide therapy individually or in groups. My areas of specialty include PTSD, trauma, grief and loss as well as working closely with LGBTTIQA2S+ clients. As a queer cis woman, this work is important to me as is supporting anyone suffering the effects of bullying, violence, discrimination, systemic oppression.
Offering trauma treatment to Military Personnel, Police, Fire and First Responders of all manners is extremely important to me given my personal history of having served with the Mental Health Team of the American Red Cross in NYC after the terrorist attacks of 9-11.
My recent experience of being a primary caregiver to my parents, the experience of aging,, longterm care, and their deaths has only heightened my commitment to the importance of raising attention to the challenges of caregiving, loss, bereavement and grief.
Some of my therapeutic approaches include DBT, EMDR & schema-focused therapy. I've found DBT and EMDR especially helpful for people who've experienced trauma, grief and loss, self-harm and other painful experiences. A supportive person listening to you and supporting you can also help you feel less alone and stronger in your life
A compassionate person who listens, validates your experience, teaches you constructive coping skills, pushes you appropriately for change and supports you will ultimately help you feel more understood, less alone and stronger, more masterful in your life.
