About Me

I am a licensed trauma therapist based in South Florida, specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I’m also a millennial woman who understands first-hand that therapy tailored to your unique needs can help you learn to feel safe, comfortable, and present in your own body and in your own life. I strive to deliver a modern, personable approach and bring my authentic self into every session in order to participate in honest, genuine connection and support your healing within the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to: Anxiety and Stress: Helping you manage overwhelming feelings, cope with anxiety, and find peace. Depression: Supporting you through the darkness and towards a brighter future as you find relief for depression. Relationship Issues: Improving communication, trust, and emotional intimacy so you can have healthy relationships that support your authenticity. Trauma and PTSD: Healing the wounds of past experiences and finding freedom through evidenced-based techniques like EMDR. Childhood Trauma: Healing the long-lasting effects of early adverse experiences and finding freedom from past trauma. Self-Esteem Issues: Building confidence and self-worth, boosting your self-esteem. Emotional Regulation: Managing intense emotions and reactions by learning how to regulate your nervous system and find balance. Life Transitions: Supporting you through major changes and new beginnings. I understand that life’s challenges can show up in many ways, from constant worry and panic attacks to feeling disconnected in your environment and in your relationships. You might be experiencing difficulties at work, trouble setting boundaries, or a persistent sense of not being good enough. Together, we can explore these feelings and work towards healing and growth. Whether you’re dealing with the weight of past traumas, struggling with current life challenges, or seeking personal growth, I’m here to guide you on your journey.
