About Me
You've carried things most people can't imagine — and often, you've carried them alone. As an EMDR Certified therapist and Air Force veteran, I understand both the weight of trauma and the culture that teaches you not to talk about it.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD for service members, veterans, and first responders, with 15+ years of experience in complex trauma. One of the things I value most about EMDR is that it can help you heal without requiring you to relive or even describe the details out loud — which matters when your experiences are painful, complicated, or something you simply can't discuss.
Beyond my EMDR certification, I'm trained in Brainspotting and IFS, and I tailor each person's care to what their nervous system needs — always at a pace that feels safe. This is deep work, done with warmth and without pressure. I see clients online throughout New York and Delaware, and I offer a free consultation so you can feel whether we're the right fit, no pressure either way.
Education & Experience
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Board Certified Diplomate (BCD) with more than 15 years of experience specializing in complex trauma and PTSD. I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University.
Much of my career has been dedicated to serving military and first-responder communities. As a Major in the U.S. Air Force, I served as a Family Advocacy Officer and Director of Psychological Health, and led substance-abuse and disaster mental-health programs supporting thousands of service members.
I am an EMDR Certified Therapist — an advanced credential beyond standard EMDR training — and I'm also trained in Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). In addition to clinical work, I've served as a clinical supervisor, training and mentoring the next generation of therapists.
